Course Registration
Course registration is done in the study system Sisu. To register for courses in Sisu, you need to have a study plan. Read more about Sisu on the Sisu info pages and get acquainted with how to make a study plan in Sisu. Remember to register on time!
- Registration for courses in the Autumn semester opens on 1st of August, and registration for courses in the Spring semester opens on 1st of December.
- In general, course registration closes one week before the start of the teaching period.
- Registration for courses with a limited number of seats closes one week before the normal registration.
- Exception: Registration for courses in period one (in autumn) closes the day before the teaching period begins.
You can only participate in courses at your own campus (Helsinki or Vaasa). You can see at which campus the teaching is offered in the name of the teaching in Sisu. Teaching available for both campuses have both campuses in the name.
It is very important to keep your official course registrations up to date in Sisu! Only when correctly registered for a course you will be able to
- access the course material in Moodle (please remember to register for the course in Moodle as well!)
- receive important messages from the teacher
- give feedback about the course and help to develop courses
- receive a grade for the course
It is also important that you cancel your course registration in Sisu if you decide not to participate in a course that you are registered for. Please do not hinder your fellow students from taking courses by taking up places on courses you do not intend to take!
Please note that you can cancel your course registration while the registration period is open, and you can withdraw from the course up until the course has ended. Once the course has ended, you can no longer withdraw from the course. Additional information about withdrawal can be found here. If the teaching in question has a separate exam component in Sisu, you must still withdraw from the teaching before it ends in order to actually withdraw from the course. It is not sufficient to simply not register for the exam.
