Scheduling your studies

On the Timeline page in Sisu you can select the academic year and period in which you plan to complete your planned courses. The courses that you have already completed are shown in the timeline automatically if you have added them to your study plan. You should choose a so-called timing template for your studies if there is one available for your degree programme. In the timing template, courses related to the discipline of your degree programme and that are recommended to be completed during a specific period of instruction are prefilled.

Remember to choose the completion method and register for the course!

On the Study calendar page in Sisu, you can add the teaching information to your study calendar. You can also add other entries to the calendar and connect it with the calendar of your phone, for example. Please note that adding a completion method or course to the study calendar does not mean that you have registered for the course.

In order to register for courses, you must have the course added to your study plan and a method of study selected from the course brochure. You can register through Sisu’s Registration page, where you can also choose the completion method if you have not done so before. On the page, you can see which courses you have already chosen, whether you have forgotten to register and whether you have been accepted to the course.

Sisu electronic forms

Many applications and requests related to your studies are submitted via Sisu. Detailed instructions can be found on Sisu’s own instructions site.

Below is a list of the most common applications and requests in Sisu:

  • If you would like to complete studies in a way that your study plan does not automatically allow, you can submit an application via the selection aid on the Structure of studies page. The application is made in a so-called free edit mode (“vapaan muokkauksen tila” or vapsu).
  • When you apply for a student exchange, add the studies you plan to complete as drafts to your study plan using the selection aid on the Structure of studies page (study draft).
  • When you return from the student exchange, you can apply for the credits you completed to be recognised in your study plan on the Structure of studies page.
  • Once you have completed all studies included in your degree, you can submit a graduation request on the Structure of studies page.
  • If your study right is terminating during the current academic year, you can apply for an extension for your studies by accessing the study right information (My profile).

Every application and request you send in Sisu is processed by the Student Services. Please do not submit applications as an experiment. Some applications cannot be withdrawn once they have been processed by Student Services.  In addition, unnecessary applications place an unnecessary burden on Student Services.

You should familiarise yourself with the differences between the applications on the Sisu instructions for students page.
