The timetable may be extended for several reasons, for example:

• multiple dissertations waiting in October-November and April-May
• the publication is also published in print, which means that time must be reserved for the printing process (including proof-reading), in general about three weeks
• the author has not used the publication template
• alternative texts for pictures or figures are missing
• the referee's timetable

Accessibility requirements apply to all university publications, especially textbooks for entrance examinations and study material intended for a course. The publishing services require the author to be precise in following the guidelines. More time should be reserved for publication since an EPUB3 e-book is prepared for these publications in addition to a traditional PDF.

On the university's website, the instructions for participating in the entrance examinations tell about the possible future entrance examination material. The student can make a purchase proposal for it to the Accessibility Library Celia. The version produced by Celia must be available to the student on the day of publication, so the publication produced by the publishing services must be ready well in advance of the publication date.

As a rule, Festschrifts are published as online publications, instructions in accordance with the University of Vaasa Research Papers or University of Vaasa Reports.
