Both Sisu and the Intranet have a calendar to support your studies.

The difference between the calendars is the way they display learning events. 

The Intranet calendar displays the learning events for which you have enrolled in Sisu and been admitted as well as the exams for which you have enrolled via the EXAM system. The Intranet calendar is therefore your ‘timetable’ gathering the learning events you plan to attend.

In the Intranet calendar, you can also hide individual learning events or, if necessary, all the events belonging to a course. 

Sisu’s study calendar helps you plan your studies. It shows all the courses you have added to it regardless of whether you are enrolled or admitted to the learning events.

You can add your own events to both calendars and subscribe to a feed into an external calendar application, such as Microsoft 365.

On the Intranet, you can see the study events for which you have enrolled and been admitted to in Sisu and the exams for which you have enrolled via EXAM. Changes to the dates and locations of your learning events are updated in the calendar.

In the Intranet calendar you can

<ul>
	<li>hide individual learning events or, if necessary, all the learning events related to a course. If you do not plan to complete a course, cancel your enrolment, or discontinue the attainment in Sisu.</li>
	<li>add your own entries to the Intranet calendar.</li>
	<li>add entries about news or events published elsewhere on the Intranet.</li>
	<li>subscribe to a feed that adds your calendar entries to an external calendar application.</li>
</ul>

There are two calendar views on the Intranet:

<ul>
	<li>The Schedule widget displays your schedule for the day.</li>
	<li>You can access a broader calendar view (My calendar) by clicking the calendar icon either at the bottom of the widget or in the main navigation menu. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Further information on My calendar and instructions for, among other things, hiding learning events are available on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tuni.fi/studentsguide/handbook/uni/4678/3219?page=17115">Intranet start page for students</a>.

My calendar on the Intranet

Sisu’s calendar is available on the Study calendar tab.

Sisu’s start page calendar shows the current and the following day’s learning events and the notes you have made.

In Sisu, you can choose which teaching groups and times are displayed in the calendar. Some events are displayed directly in the calendar.

<ul>
	<li>The calendar shows all the teaching groups in which you have been admitted.</li>
	<li>If your enrolment is not confirmed or you have not enrolled yet, go to the side panel of the Study calendar tab to choose which teaching groups are shown in the calendar. This selection is made using the ‘Show events in the calendar’ option.</li>
	<li>If you do not need to select any teaching groups (meaning that they are common to all the participants), they will be shown in the calendar by default.
	<ul>
		<li>For other learning events, check the ‘Show events in the calendar’ option when you wish to be included in the groups in question. This enables comparing group schedules and reacting to any overlaps even before enrolment.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<figure role="group"><img src="https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/image-style/max_1300x1300/proxy/public/2021-10/sisun_opintokalenteri_in_english.jpg?itok=2FnSWmbV" alt="Sisu’s calendar on the Study calendar tab. " ><figcaption>This picture shows the situation when a teaching group is mandatory and appears by default before enrolment in the calendar</figcaption></figure>

If you select more than one group in your calendar when planning your studies (eg primary and secondary group choices), they will all remain in the calendar even after enrolment in only one of the groups has been confirmed.

Do the following to prevent unnecessary events appearing in the Sisu calendar:

<ul>
	<li>If you are not admitted to a learning event or drop out, you should remove the event from your calendar completely or at least remove the tick for the ‘Show events in the calendar’ option in the enrolments.
	<ul>
		<li>If a learning event is ongoing or upcoming and your enrolment has been rejected, you can see this in the ‘Enrolment’ tab by filtering with ‘Rejected enrolments’. Discontinued learning events can be found via the ‘Finished and discontinued’ tab.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>If you were not admitted to all the groups you wished to enrol in, remove these learning events from your Sisu calendar by removing the tick from the ‘Show events in the calendar’ box.</li>
	<li>If you have placed other teaching groups than those that suit your schedule in the calendar, it is worth your while to remove them from the calendar.</li>
</ul>

If you are not enrolled for teaching for which you have selected a learning event to be shown in the calendar, a note will tell you that there is no enrolment. A note will also be displayed for learning events that have ended and for those in which the enrolment period has not yet started.

Sisu’s calendar 

Calendar entries from both the Intranet’s My calendar and Sisu’s calendar may be exported to an external calendar app, such as Microsoft 365.

<ul>
	<li>The My Calendar feed in the Intranet contains the learning events for which your enrolment has been confirmed in Sisu. Your Exam enrolments are also included in the Intranet calendar feed.</li>
	<li>The Sisu calendar feed includes all the events in the Study Calendar tab, including those for which your enrolment has not been confirmed.</li>
	<li>Both feeds also include the events you have added to the calendar yourself.</li>
	<li>Please note that the data is not updated in real time in the external calendar application; the update frequency varies between applications.</li>
</ul>
