Well, I didn't check every single course on Xamk Pulse but the ones I checked used what looked like a standard form that had Finnish ID listed as a required field regardless of the country of residence you selected. The only exception to this was IVGC, which uses a different form where the Finnish ID requirement disappears when you select a different country. I'm not sure, there may be other courses that are still using the old form. When I took the sports nutrition course earlier this year, the Finnish ID wasn't required, and now you can't enrol in that course without Finnish ID.
Also, I think you shouldn't need to enrol in a course just to get a transcript of other courses you completed. At some other Finnish unis I interacted with, as long as you have completed coursework on file, you usually can contact the ICT, open university coordinator, student services department or some such and have them reactivate your student account so that you can log into Peppi and generate your transcript of records, or they can generate a digitally signed transcript for you and send it to you via email if you request it. The latter actually seems to be how the vast majority of IVGC students normally get their transcripts, as they don't even get access to Xamk's student systems, unlike some of us here who have enrolled in other 'proper' Xamk Pulse courses in the past. And they get none of the other benefits that us regular open university students are entitled to. I'm still making good use of the MS Office 365 license I got from Xamk, lol.
