Selecting the completion method and course unit
Before registering, you must place the course in your primary study plan, and select the method of completion and course unit from the course brochure. First, add the course to your plan and open the course brochure by clicking on the course code. If the course is already in your plan, you can also go to the Registration page to select the method of completion and course unit. The Registration page will show you a summary of all the courses in your primary study plan for which you have not yet selected a course unit. Once you have selected a course unit, you can go to the Registration page to confirm your registration under 'Registration for the selected course units'. You can select the methods of completion and course units in advance, e.g. for all teaching in the following period, so that you can later confirm all your registrations on the Registration page at once. Note! Do not start course unit registration from the Search page because registration approval requires that you select course units through your plan.
- Open the course brochure and move to the Completion methods tab. Firstly, check below the course name that the version of the course corresponds to the academic year and confirm the selection of the new version if needed. You can read more about changing the version of a course on the page Sisu instructions: Updating a version of a course or a study module in the study plan.
- Click the column of the completion method you want and then click Select this completion method.
- Select a course unit by clicking the Select button, which will activate after the completion method has been selected. You can see the registration period and selection criteria for the course unit from the course unit’s additional information by clicking its name. You can read more about selection criteria in the section Registration methods at the end of this page.
If a completion method has more than five course units, you can get all course units visible by clicking Show more under the undermost course unit.
Under a course unit may appear the notification ‘The teaching is already in your calendar, either through one of the parts of another completion method, through another version of the course or through another course.’ By clicking the Show link below, you can see which course and completion method you have chosen. The notification means that you have already chosen the same course unit either through another course or through a previous version of the same course. Once you have already selected a course unit, you can proceed to the Registration page to register.
- Click Proceed to registration on the notification that appears at the top of the page right after you have selected a course unit. You can also proceed directly to the Registration page later when the registration is open.
- You will be taken to the Registration page, which consists of a section for selecting course units and a section for registering to selected course units below, where you will find the course units you have selected. You will see an active register button for those course units for which the registration period is open.
Selecting teaching groups and confirming the registration
The Register button opens a new window where you can make any group selections and confirm your registration. At the top of the window, you will be shown the registration criteria that must be met in order for your registration to be accepted. You can read more about the registration criteria in the chapter What is the basis for selecting students for courses?
Always select in the study right field the study right that has the course you are registering for added to your primary study plan. Otherwise, you will see the message below and your registration will not be accepted if you do not add the course to your primary study plan. If you have only one study right, that study right will be selected by default.
If there are alternative groups in a course unit, you must select groups suitable for you before the actual registration.
If there are no alternative groups, all parts are mandatory, and you can proceed straight to confirm your registration in the lower part of the window.
Please note that individual parts of a course can require separate registration. For example, the registration for lectures and exercises is not necessarily done at the same time.
- When selecting teaching groups, you can see the minimum number of groups you need to register for (e.g. at least 1 group). You can also mark the number of groups you wish to join as preferred, and your preferences will be considered in the placement. The more groups you select as suitable, the more likely it is that you will get a place in a course unit. Teaching that is joint and mandatory for all students registering for the teaching is not selected separately.
- After the group selections, you can also answer any additional questions and indicate your preferred language of completion.
- Finally, click Confirm at the end of the window. If you have not made all necessary group selections, you will see a notification about it.
Once you have confirmed your registration, you will receive a "registration complete" message and your registration will move to the "registration being processed" column, where you will see a preliminary status of your registration.
On some courses and exams, participants are selected in the order of their registration. In this case, your registration will go directly to the "Registration processed" section, and you will be directly informed about the final status of your registration.
Please note that preliminary acceptance does not yet guarantee you a place in the course, as students registered in the course are usually definitively confirmed only after the registration period is over.
If you do not meet the registration criteria or cannot fit in the course unit, you will see a preliminary notification of rejection. Click Open registration details link to view possible reasons for the rejection.
If the course is not yet included in your study plan or your study plan includes a wrong version of it, or you have not yet completed your annual registration for attendance, you will see a cross next to the conditions that are not met. In this case go back and add the course to your study plan or select the correct version before coming back to continue with the registration.
Sisu updates the placement of registered participants each time a new student registers for the course. When status changes occur, you may see Changes in registration, refresh the view. Clicking the Refresh View button will update the changes in your view.
