Suoritusrekisteriin

Suoritusrekisteriin is the Finnish phrase meaning “to the achievement registry” and refers to the process and system used to store records of completed studies, examinations, earned credits, and qualifications of students and graduates. In Finnish education, suoritusrekisteri denotes an electronic register that keeps official records of learning outcomes and qualifications, and suoritusrekisteriin indicates the act of entering or transferring such records to the register.

The register is used by educational institutions to document outcomes of studies and to produce official documents such as transcripts, degree certificates, and diploma supplements. It can be part of institutional information systems and, where applicable, connect with national or regional data collections to support verification of qualifications by employers, other education providers, or public authorities.

Typical data stored include the person’s identity (such as name and personal identification number), details of completed studies (course or module titles, credits, dates of completion, and grades), the awarding institution, and the type of qualification (degree, diploma, or certificate). Data handling follows privacy and data protection rules; access is restricted to authorized personnel, and the data subject may request access, correction, or a copy of their records. Retention periods follow legal requirements and institutional policies.

In practice, when a student completes a course or program, the institution submits the completion information to suoritusrekisteriin, enabling official recognition of the achievement and facilitating verification for future studies or employment.
