Recommendation about email attachments

If the document will be sent as an attachment in an e-mail, it has to be saved in the form of a word document (.doc), an excel document (.xls), in .rtf, PowerPoint, or in .pdf. If the sender uses another file type, it cannot be ensured that the attachment could be opened on the software used at the Registrar.

University documents and all information in them are public, unless they have been declared secret by virtue of the Act on the Openness of Government Activities (JulkL 1999/621). A typical example of a document declared secret is the type that contains information on a person’s health or on trade or research secrets. Publicity of documents is decided upon separately with each document. One can appeal against the decisions.
