*Inter-bank trading under the new guidelines will begin on Monday 20th June 2016; and
*The tenors and rates for the OTC Naira-settled FX Futures will be announced on Monday, June 27, 2016.culled from http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/breaking-finally-cbn-floats-the-naira/

i guess they are yet to annouce the exchange rate

i believe they already have a benchmark they are working with for this period, unless they make updates after putting benchmarks to work.
just thinking aloud and stand to be corrected.
what of people that have submitted their document since last week of last month, whats their fate with this update?

SCHOOLDROPOUT:

Tuition fees

Do I need to pay tuition fees in Finland?

currently, no tuition fees are charged in regular degree programmes - regardless of your nationality
tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students will however be introduced from autumn 2017 onwards
you must independently cover your living expenses - think carefully about how you will finance your studies in Finland
see section How to apply for advice on admissions
Tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students

The Finnish Government has decided to introduce a tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students, starting from August 2017. This means that non-EU/EEA students who start their studies in autumn 2017 or after that, are subject to tuition fees. The tuition fees concern Bachelor's or Master's degree programmes offered in English. Doctoral level studies, or degree programmes offered in Finnish or Swedish, will not charge tuition fees.
Each university/UAS defines their fees independently. The annual fee can vary even within one individual institution, depending on the degree course.
The universities/UAS's will also introduce new scholarship schemes for non-EU students admitted to fee-charging Bachelor's or Master's degree courses.

Tuition fees and living costs
Whether or not you need to pay tuition fees, do note that you are usually expected to independently cover your everyday living expenses during your studies in Finland.
Some individual scholarships offered by the universities may also include a living costs allowance, but this is likely to be rare; ou should therefore plan your finances so that you can also cope with the living costs like accommodation, food, travel, etc.

Tuition fees 2017
Tuition fees will be introduced for non-EU/EEA students in Finland from August 2017 onwards. All details are as yet not available, please follow this page for possible updates.
Who will need to pay fees?
The fees will concern non-EU/EEA degree students who start their studies in English-taught Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in August 2017 or after that.
The fees will not concern those non-EU/EEA students who
have started their studies before autumn 2017 *
are enrolled in Doctoral/PhD level studies and research
study in degree programmes taught in Finnish or Swedish (see section Studying in Finnish or Swedish)
are EU/EEA citizens or their family members (spouse / child)
are already residing in Finland or some other EU country on a permanent basis (i.e. are equivalent to EU citizens **)
*) in principle, the new legislation would allow universities to start collecting fees already in 2016, but in most universities/UAS's this is unlikely to happen. According to our present information, fees will take effect only from autumn 2017 study start onwards.
**) continuous (A) or permanent (P/P-EU) residence permit type
If you are unsure about whether you'd be subject to tuition fees, please contact the Admissions Office of the university/UAS you're planning to apply to for advice.
How much will the annual tuition fee be?
The minimum annual tuition fee as set in the legislation is 1500€. However, do note that the eventual tuition fees are likely to be even considerably higher than the minimum. Currently, the annual fees are estimated to be between 8.000 to 20.000 EUR approximately, depending on the university. A maximum level has not been set for the fees. Each university/UAS independently decides their fee structure.
Note also that the fees may be degree programme specific so the fees can vary also within one individual university/UAS.
Will there be financial support available for non-EU/EEA students?
Yes. Finnish universities and UAS's are also expected to provide new scholarship/financial support options for non-EU/EEA students enrolled in the fee-charging degree programmes.
Depending on the university/UAS, these non-EU/EEA student scholarships may be offered in the form of e.g. full or partial fee waivers, performance-based refunds, etc. Some individual scholarship options may also include a living cost allowance.
Where can I find detailed info on the fees and scholarship/support options?
Detailed information on the extent of individual universities' fees and financial support options will become available during 2016. The universities and UAS's will publish information on their fees on their own websites, each according to their own schedule.

Wordsmith:
Hi, please I'm just registering online at https://enterfinland.fi/eServices. I have filled all that's necessary and gotten to the "Choose your service point and pay" part. On the Embassy site, they claim the residence permit fee for students, done via internet is N66 000. But with this exchange rate, won't that have increased, because I've had an experience with gtb and they claimed MasterCard have surcharges of their own. Do i still make the payment online?

You can walk into any Standard Chartered Bank and pay it. 67000

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
No, Sir!

Thanks bro

SCHOOLDROPOUT:

Please bosses in the house, what's with legalisation of documents in Foreign Affairs? Are we to do any legalisation before submission of documents to the Embassy? Urgent replies please

Please I want to be clarified on how much to pay as RP application fee. 66k or 67k please.

Secondly, @schooldropout are you saying that all the supporting documents like letter of sponsor, payment slips etc will be uploaded on enterfinland?

Thirdly, all the sponsors supporting documents that will be sent to the Embassy should it be originals also or photocopies since our own should be originals of credentials

Thanks for this info

GeneXY:
This question caused issue for me last year. I didn't print the online application form I filled cos I thought there was no point printing the whole application form since I have filled it online. On getting to the embassy, I was asked to produced the filled application form. The woman said am supposed to print it out and bring to the embassy. Naso she started giving attitude, I just waka commot to begin find cafe to print am. It was a bad experience cos the woman made sure I was the last person to be interviewed instead of being the second BUT to God be the glory today.
Just try to print everything printable even if you don't end up submitting them at the embassy cos it was tough locating a cyber cafe.

How can one pinpoint the original and counterfeit certificate?

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Either UEF or Jyväskylä sent me the SIP stuff as one of their attachments too. Didn't even bother to peruse. Just ignored it.

epsilonwaves:

FaithVoke:
This came in this morning.
Dear Applicant,
 
We are pleased to inform you, that you have been accepted to the Master’s Degree Programme in Public Health (MPH) in the University of Eastern Finland. Welcome to study in our two-year programme in Kuopio campus!

Thanks guys for your support.

Please can I contact you privately please?

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Boss, sorry for the late response. NL dey do me strong thing recently. No know wetin I do o. Lol.

You can book an appointment forthwith, provided you have your admission letter already.

Secondly, just ensure you have all other requisite documents handy as you'd have to send them at least two weeks prior to your interview date. And yeah, you have to send originals including your international passport and ensure that you have a scratch card included for the verification of your olevels.

I believe you can also do the online application till you submit the hard docs two weeks before. Furthermore, the OLE_OPI form in pdf. Format should be downloaded, filled meticulously, printed and attached to the hard copies you will be sending to the embassy.

Lastly, ensure you have two photocopies of each of your documents as this will be requested on your interview day. The payment slip for your RP should be with you too. Feel free to ask further questions.

shayhune:
I indicated that my insurance date should start on August 19 coz school resumes Aug 22 and I hope to enter by Aug 21. So just put a date closer to wen u r gonna enter Finland or preferably, d date u r entering Finland.

Olabode, sirkezman, Genexy and other bosses in d house can also comment on this.

Thanks boss
