Registration instructions

I Click the registration button on this page. You will be directed to our registration service with the study unit already selected. You can add several study units to your study cart before you continue. 

II Proceed to identify yourself using the Suomi.fi service. If you don’t have access to the Suomi.fi service, you may skip this phase. Fill in your personal information on the registration form, confirm your registration and pay the study fees.  

Please note that the registration is binding. For more information on study fees and payment and cancellation terms, please see: Registration, study fees and right to study | University of Eastern Finland (uef.fi). 

III Your registration will typically be processed in 2-5 working days. During peak registration periods, this may take up to 10 days. After this period, you will get an automatic message which includes a link to the starting instructions. Please read and follow the instructions carefully.  

If you have not studied at UEF before, you will also receive instructions for activating a UEF username. If you already have a UEF username, change the password to your account. 

Your username will receive full access rights when your study right begins.  

If you can’t find these messages, remember to check your email’s trash folder, and contact the open university staff if needed. 

If your employer will pay your tuition fee, please contact our academic affairs coordinator. Their contact information can be found below.
