The purpose of the rectification request procedure is to provide applicants the opportunity to appeal against Aalto University’s student admission decision on the grounds of an error in the decision-making, and thereby have an erroneous decision corrected.

An admission decision may only be rectified if Aalto University has made an error in the admission procedure and the error justifies the correction of the admission decision.

This process is not for requesting feedback or additional information regarding the admissions results.

Your request for rectification must include the following information:

  • The study option(s) that the rectification request concerns.
  • The decision you wish to have rectified.
  • A description of how you would like the University to rectify its decision.
  • The grounds for your rectification request, explaining the error made by the University in the admission process.
  • Your contact details, including your full name and email address.
  • Written authorisation for your representative, if you use a representative.

Please note that you cannot submit any new documents to support your rectification request.

Aalto University makes admission decisions, and the decisions on the rectification requests, based only on the following information: 

  • The materials and information submitted by the applicant during the application period and by the document deadline, namely by 3 January 2025; and if the applicant has been requested to provide supplementary information, the information that the applicant has provided by the given deadline.
  • If the admission procedure involves multiple stages, the admission decision may be partly based on an interview or a preliminary assignment, too.

Decisions on scholarships are final and cannot be appealed against.
