What happens in a student health meeting?

The meeting will look at the extent of the decline in learning ability, the areas where the decline is particularly noticeable and the factors behind it. The purpose of the meeting is to find solutions to improve the student's ability to study, to enable the student to continue their studies despite the problems or to return to their studies without the risk of a further decrease in their ability to study, their health or a recurrence of sick leave. When seeking solutions, the focus is on how, through pedagogical special arrangements or other support measures provided by the university, as well as with the special support offered by FSHS or other measures, obstacles to study ability can be overcome or circumvented. In the meeting, a comprehensive plan is created, taking into account the measures of all parties and, if necessary, also ensuring the student's livelihood when studying with decreased study ability.

When is the student health meeting necessary?

After more than two months of sickness allowance.
When a student becomes suddenly or seriously ill in such a way that recovery can be expected to take several months and the illness affects the ability to study.
In situations where the student has not been on official sick leave but has not been able to study.
In situations where the progress of the student's studies has been slowed down or prolonged and the study right is coming to an end without the student being able to complete their studies.
When the student needs a certificate for an extension of study right at a higher education institution.
When the student needs a certificate for Kela regarding student aid.
If the problem is a change in the student's behaviour or ability to study or repeated absences due to illness, suspected substance abuse or substance use.
Student health meetings are held as part of the assessment of unsuitability for study under the SORA legislation.
The substance abuse prevention programme for students includes a treatment meeting which in practice is a student health meeting.
