The deployment process in brief
Sisu fully replaced WebOodi as the University’s student information system on 31 May 2021. The system was deployed in stages as of 2017. The system will be developed on the basis of feedback.
What changed with Sisu?
Each student must have a study plan in Sisu. At a minimum, you must add to your plan the courses you wish to register for or which will be recorded as completed in the near future. If necessary, you can ask for advice on how to create and update the plan from Student Services, Sisu tutors or your PSP supervisor. For further information, please see the instructions at Study planning and supervision.
You must have a study plan to register for studies, graduate and submit electronic applications in Sisu. Moreover, studies recorded in Sisu will not be correctly displayed in your plan if you have not first added them to it and selected a completion method. Any studies you complete will nevertheless be recorded as partially completed under My profile. In such cases, you must request the retrospective correction of the information from Student Services. Further information on partially completed studies is available on the FAQ page.
Your study plan in Sisu helps you keep up to date on your progress and portray in a visual format which studies you have completed and which studies you must still complete for your degree. You can receive feedback on your study plan, as well as ask questions from your supervisor directly via Sisu.
Compared to WebOodi, one of the main differences is that you must plan your studies before registering for teaching. In practice, you must first add a course to your study plan and then register for the course. However, the planning and timetabling of studies does not mean that the selection of studies available will be reduced. All the courses offered by the University of Helsinki can also be found in Sisu. You can also flexibly edit your study plan as your studies progress, it does not have to be completed at once.
