On 27 June 2011, Latvia's joint state and municipal eServices portal latvija.lv launched a service to facilitate the electronic application to undergraduate programmes in ten Latvian universities.
Using the service, Electronic application for undergraduate programmes of study (Elektroniska pieteikšanās studijām pamatstudiju programmās, in Latvian), has several benefits:
- It is possible to apply for any of the ten universities for more than 250 undergraduate programmes of study;
- Up to ten programmes can be specified, listed in order of preference;
- The preference order of the selected programmes can be changed;
- It is possible to follow up results for online applications;
- There is a single application fee of 20 LVL (€28, approximately), regardless of the university and the number of programmes selected.
Following the electronic submission, the candidate had to present the necessary supporting documentation and approve the application at any of the listed university admission points from 12-19 July 2011.
