Important instructions for new students:

Registering for courses:
Course registration is always done in Sisu, unless, for example, you receive different instructions by email. You can find a course in Sisu by entering either the course code or the full name of the course in the search field.

Dates for first-year courses:
You can find the course dates on the degree programme’s website or Moodle. Exam dates are often announced at the beginning of the course and/or in Sisu and Moodle. On some courses, you need to register separately for exams. Each course’s regular exam is usually followed by a few opportunities to retake it. After these, it may in some cases be possible to retake the exam on general examination days. This varies from course to course, however, so it is a good idea to find out what applies well in advance.
