Absences must be requested using the Wilma form

Absences that last a full day or longer should be requested using the form available in Wilma. Unfortunately, this form is not accessible via the mobile app, but only through the full version. If you are filling out the form on a smartphone or tablet, please use the device’s web browser instead of the mobile app.

Here are the instructions for filling out the form:

  • If you have multiple students visible in Wilma, select the one you wish to apply for.
  • In the student’s view, select “Applications and decisions” from the top of the page. If “Applications and decisions” is not visible, click the three dots in the top navigation bar and choose “Applications and decisions” from the dropdown.
  • Click “New application” in the top right corner.
  • Choose either “Oppilaan koulunkäynnistä vapauttaminen 1-5 pv” (= Exemption from school attendance 1–5 days” or “Oppilaan koulunkäynnistä vapauttaminen yli 5 pv” (= Exemption from school attendance over 5 days), depending on the length of the absence.
  • Fill in the form details and save.
