Nearly all open university courses use the online learning environment Moodle.

You can log in to Moodle with your University of Helsinki username through the course page. Some courses use a course key which you need when you first log in to the course area in Moodle. Information on the opening date of Moodle and the possible need for a course key can be found on the course page.

As a student at the open university, you can request special support for study-related situations and arrangements. For example, you may be granted additional time in an examination or have an assistant accompany you.  

To request special arrangements, you must submit a certificate from a doctor or equivalent specialist (e.g., psychologist, speech therapist or physical therapist) describing the need and grounds for the special arrangements.  

Further information and detailed instructions: Special arrangements support studies.

Your completed studies are registered in the study register of the University of Helsinki. You can view your completed credits in the My Studyinfo service and in the University of Helsinki’s study information system Sisu. 

Please note that My Studyinfo service displays the status of open university students’ study rights as incomplete. Nevertheless, the course completion is final.
