Admission from waiting list
In July, the admission from a waiting list for upper secondary schools is started, and is usually ongoing until the middle of September.

Once all the response cards have been received and registered, usually around August, the first admission from the waiting list is started. This is when students who have been offered a spot will receive a written admissions decision with a response card that is to be sent in as soon as possible. If you have accepted the opportunity to remain on the waiting list for a higher ranked choice, you will automatically be assigned a spot on this upper secondary school, as soon as a spot becomes available. Until school starts, the admissions offices are the ones making the decisions. When the admission has been completed, you can instead turn to the principal at the specific upper secondary school, who will determine if more students can be admitted.
