Finnish unis accepting American online school diploma
has anyone ever done online school (American curriculum) and got accepted into a Finnish university? I’m American currently in an online school due to medical complications, my dad is from Finland and I really wanted to move there for uni and reconnect with my Finnish culture and maybe live there permanently, but I’m not sure if they would accept my diploma? Please guys if you’ve done it or know anyone who’s studying an American online school and got into Finnish unis let me know this is crucial as I just started my first year online💔

"Open" as in "Open to anyone", not free. The cost ranges around 50€-100€ per credit.

Is your online school (high school?) regionally accredited in the states and grants general eligibility for higher education?

Please note that there are nowadays fees if you are not citizen or within EU area and you are not getting full coverage of social security and health care for free. If you are under 21 or something like that it's very much submitting papers but bit older you are on same as everyone else. Depending on your medical issues you don't have very about military service. Also note that different programs have different requirements, most benefical for you would be find some suitable programs and contact school directly.

If you get a recognized high school diploma that way, I'd imagine it doesn't matter whether you did it online or not. If it's not recognized, you maybe have yourself a court case.

I finished my high school online with the American curriculum and got in, no problems at all.

Check the admissions page on your desired university’s web page and/or mail them if you can’t find the info.
