Student Services

The University of Helsinki introduced a new system of academic administration Sisu on 31 May 2021. If you need guidance concerning your degree programme or study track, please contact your own faculty’s student services. Kaisa House Student Information provides help with technical issues concerning Sisu, as well as general guidance on e.g., selecting a correct application type.

Technical and general guidance concerning Sisu in walk-in Zoom.

In unclear situations, you may always contact the Kaisa House Student Information from where you will be guided onwards. Sisu tutors will also be on call in the beginning of the academic year. For more information see Sisu instructions for students.

Please contact the Student Services via the addresses below. Messages and comments left in Sisu are primarily for your PSP instructor.

Before contacting the Student Services, please check if your question has been answered on the Sisu FAQ page.

The services offered at Kaisa House Student Information include registration for the academic year, changes in name or address information, official transcripts of records,  certificates for buying the student travel tickets, and other general advice regarding enrollment and student benefits. In other matters you can contact the Student Service Point of your own faculty.

Do you have questions about studies and have not found the answers on the Instructions for Students website or elsewhere? If you have questions about the content of your degree, you should contact the teaching staff of your degree programme, but if you need assistance relating to the studies you have not yet completed, or general advice on the structure of your degree, you should make an appointment with a student adviser or education planning officer familiar with your degree programme. For a link to the appointment system, please see above.

When you book your appointment, be sure to select your degree programme from the menu and explain the reasons for your appointment in as much detail as possible. This will help us prepare for your visit.
