This page offers you information about course registration (enrolment in the instructions below as that is the word currently used in Sisu), course registration dates as well as instructions for resolving problems with course registration. Before you can enrol for teaching, you need to create at least one personal study plan (PSP). Instructions for making a PSP:

The Open University has a different course enrolment procedure. Instructions for <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/handbook?page=7794">enrolling for courses offered by the Open University </a>.

NB: Before enrolling, check whether you need to switch the course to a new (2021-2024) version in your study plan: <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/studentsguide/handbook/uni?page=28460">Updating the personal study plan as the curriculum period changes</a> If you need to switch the course to a newer version always switch the version before enrolling.

<ol>
	<li>Open your study plan on the Structure of studies tab. Open the leaflet of a course for whose teaching you want to enrol. You can open the leaflet by clicking the code of the course.

	</li>
	<li>Move on to the Completion methods tab on the leaflet.</li>
	<li>Select a completion method by first selecting the method and then the Select this completion method button.
	<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/suoritustavat1.png?itok=oQAIAY0S" alt="" ></figure>
	</li>
	<li>Add a teaching to your calendar by selecting Select next to the teaching.</li>
	<li>A banner appears at the top of the page informing you that the teaching has been selected. It has a link through which you can proceed to enrol for the teaching in your study calendar. Select the link. (Before proceeding to your study calendar via the banner link, you can select and deselect other teachings.)</li>
	<li>In your Study calendar, you can enrol for the teaching. The right side of the study calendar has three tabs (Teaching not selected, Enrolment, Finished and discontinued). The link will have taken you to the Enrolment tab onto the enrolment of the teaching you selected. Here you can make your preferred group choices if such are set for the teaching, and then select Enrol. If there are no group choices you can select Enrol right away. Please note that even if a maximum number of participants is not displayed, the number of places may still be limited. 
	 
	Even though the teaching would seem to be full you might still want to enrol. There might be selection criteria in play which Sisu cannot calculate into the prediction it shows you and in some cases more places may be added into popular teaching.
	<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/suoritustavat2.png?itok=AZGJRm6_" alt="" ></figure>

	</li>
	<li>Confirm your enrolment. (Select the appropriate study right if necessary.) After you have confirmed your enrolment, it is ready to be processed. Your enrolment can be processed in one of two ways:
	<ol>
		<li>Your enrolment is confirmed or rejected immediately based on whether you fulfil the basic requirements set for the teaching. If your enrolment is confirmed a banner indicating that will appear at the top of your browser window and your enrolment will appear as confirmed in your teaching calendar.</li>
		<li>Enrolments are processed and your enrolment confirmed or rejected, after the teaching's enrolment time ends. This processing may be done manually and may take some time. Before the enrolment time ends, Sisu will show you a prediction of whether your enrolment would be confirmed. The prediction can often be incorrect as more students might still enrol and there might be selection criteria in play which Sisu cannot calculate into the prediction.</li>
	</ol>

	</li>
	<li>If you have confirmed your course enrolment but you cannot be selected or were not selected first check the reason for rejection: 
	 
	If according to Sisu you do not fulfil the requirements Valid study right and/or Attending, check that your registration for the academic year is in order. If you have enrolled on teaching that continues for the whole academic year but are registered as attending for only the autumn or spring your enrolment needs to be confirmed manually after Sisu has rejected it. Contact the person responsible for the teaching. 
	 
	If according to Sisu you do not fulfil the requirement The correct version of the course is included in the primary study plan..., check that the course is in your primary study plan. If the course is in your primary study plan check the first item in Problems with enrolling for a course section on this page. 
	 
	If you think that the reason for your rejection is unfounded and cannot resolve the situation yourself contact the person responsible for the teaching. You can find the responsible persons in Sisu on the course's info sheet on the Completion methods tab under the teaching in question.</li>

Enrolling for course teaching in Sisu

To cancel your course enrolment, navigate to your timetable to access the selection assistant and go to the same location where you first enrolled. You can cancel your enrolment if the cancellation deadline has not expired. 

<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/peruminen.png?itok=WwpNTpuR" alt="" ></figure>

If the normal confirmation procedure applies to the course, you can withdraw from the course even if your enrolment has been confirmed and the course has already started. You cannot withdraw from a course if the teacher in charge has not confirmed the course enrolments or if students are still being enrolled from the waiting list. 
If the immediate confirmation procedure applies to the course, you can withdraw after the course begins (but you can cancel your enrolment before the course begins). 
Click Discontinue participation. Sisu will alert you that you will not be able to re-enrol. After you confirm your withdrawal, the course will appear in your list of courses that have ended and been interrupted, and you can delete the course from your timetable.Withdrawal from a course means that the classes will be automatically deleted from your timetable. 

<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/nayttokuva-2021-07-26-130558.png?itok=xFtuqE3G" alt="" ></figure>

 
After you have withdrawn, you will no longer be able to re-enrol for the course. If you choose to withdraw in order to join a different class group of the same course, you must ask the teacher in charge to add you to this group. Alternatively, it is possible to make changes to your confirmed class groups without you having to withdraw.

Registering for examinations

Students are required to register for examinations. To read more, please see the page <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/studentsguide/handbook/uni?page=2206">Examination instructions for candidates</a>.

Course enrolment dates 

If you have problems with enrolling for a course contact the person responsible for the teaching. You can find the responsible persons in Sisu on the course's info sheet on the Completion methods tab under the teaching in question. 
 
FAQ:

<ol>
	<li>Sisu says that I do not meet the "Course is included in the primary study plan" requirement even though the course is in my primary study plan. 
	 
	This problem can be caused by having a different version of the course in your study plan versus your enrolment. This can happen, for example, if you enrol in a teaching first and then switch the course to a newer version in your study plan. (<a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/handbook?page=28460">Instructions for switching versions in your study plan</a>) 
	 
	Check the course version in your study plan. A course with a new (2021-2022) code:
	<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/opintojakso_uudella_koodilla_hopsissa.png?itok=aTlP5pm4" alt="Uusi opintojakson koodi opintosuunnitelmassa" ></figure>
	Many courses have had their codes changed for academic year 2021-2022. In the new codes, parts of the code are separated with periods. Whereas, old codes do not include periods. In these cases you can tell by the code whether you have the same version in your study plan and enrolment. 
	 
	Check that your enrolment has the same course version as your study plan. An enrolment with an old (2020-2021) code, hence, here the course version is different from the picture above:
	<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/opintojakso_vanhalla_koodilla_ilmoittautumisessa_en.png?itok=vKpnclHD" alt="Course with an old code in enrolment" ></figure>
	 
	Some courses have the same codes for 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. In these cases, you need to go a bit deeper to check that the course versions are the same. Open the course info both in your study plan and in your enrolments (study calendar) and check that the course version's academic years in the upper-left corner are the same. 
	 
	When your enrolment has a different course version from that in your study plan do the following: 
	 
	If enrolment for the teaching is still on and enrolments have not been confirmed yet: 1) Cancel and remove your enrolment in the study calendar. 2) Enrol again via your study plan. 
	 
	If enrolment for the teaching is still on and you have not been selected: 1) Remove your enrolment in the study calendar. 2) Enrol again via your study plan. 
	 
	If the enrolment period has ended contact the person responsible for the teaching. You can find the responsible persons in Sisu on the course's info sheet on the Completion methods tab under the teaching in question. 
	 </li>
	<li>Can I enrol for a course before I have created a personal study plan (PSP) or before my custom module has been accepted? 
	 
	<ul>
		<li>You must have a PSP before you can enrol. Possible custom modules that differ from the normal curriculum of your programme do not have to be approved.   
		 </li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>I am registered as present for a single semester. How do I enrol for courses that last the entire academic year? 
	 
	<ul>
		<li>The functions in Sisu are based on the principle that students must be registered as present throughout a course in order to enrol for that course. For example, exams and other independent assignments are often marked to run throughout the year.  Nevertheless, you can enrol even if you are registered as present only for the autumn semester by following these steps: Enrol for the courses. Depending on the enrolment procedure, Sisu will display a message stating that your enrolment has been rejected or that you do not meet the requirements (attendance). However, Sisu will still store your enrolment and it will be visible to the teacher in charge. Contact the teacher and describe your circumstances. The teacher will be able to accept you onto the course in Sisu. 
		 </li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>I am unable to enrol for a course. There is no Enrol button on the course page. What should I do? 
	 
	<ul>
		<li>Check the course completion methods and when the course takes place. If a specific period when the course takes place is identified, contact the teacher in charge. 
		 
		The curricula for doctoral programmes include some courses that students complete independently at their own pace; these courses are not tied to a specific period. Students cannot enrol for these courses. After you have completed the required coursework, you must request to have the course counted towards your degree.* 
		 </li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>What is meant with the message “If the enrolment period ended now...?
	<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/sininen.png?itok=rbJuOpO3" alt="" ></figure>

	<ul>
		<li>This notification indicates what your admission status would be if decisions about accepting students onto the course were made right now based on criteria that Sisu can automatically take into account. Please be aware that, for example, the Language Centre uses a range of course admission criteria which Sisu is unable to take into account automatically. Unfortunately, in this case the notification may not indicate your correct admission status. Your real status will not be revealed until the course participants are confirmed after the enrolment deadline.  
		 </li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>What is meant with the message “Some requirements are not fulfilled…”?
	<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-08/keltainen.png?itok=5GUm6lhe" alt="" ></figure>
	 

	<ul>
		<li>If you do not meet the requirements to be accepted onto the course, this notification is displayed to give you a chance to react (such as register as present). If you are not accepted onto a course because you do not meet the requirements, the requirements will be shown to you in Sisu after the course enrolment deadline expires. Information about the course admission criteria (which indicate the students who will be given priority over others) is available on the course page in Sisu.</li>
