Freshman Pass

Students earn their teekkaricap by having their Freshman Pass filled and participating in Eldprowet, also known as Fire Test. Members of Nucleus board with teekkaricap, ongoing year's tutors and board members of Teekkarikommissio can give points to the Freshman Pass.

If you are an international student and you are keen to get a teekkaricap and fill the Freshman or the Master Pass, please contact the board of Nucleus ry nucleus[at]utu.fi.
