Course-specific communications will also take place in Hoodle. Please note that the courses become visible in Hoodle only at the time they begin.

Possible contact teaching and webinar schedules can be found in the Open UAS webstore under course-specific information and in the Learning Environment Hoodle.

Transcript of records

Study certificates and transcripts are automatically signed using the Digital and Population Data Services Agency certificate, so you can download the official certificates from Peppi yourself. The electronic signature introduced by the digital certificate is equivalent to a hand-signed signature throughout the European Union.

Financing your studies

Kela’s student benefits are not available for Open UAS students. The following options are available for financing your studies at the Open UAS:

• Employment Fund benefits for adult students
• Studying during unemployment

If you are planning your studies as an unemployed jobseeker, you are not entitled to student benefits or the student card.

As an Open UAS student, you are also not entitled to student discounts or a student card.

Insurances

You can read about student insurances (e.g. during internships) on the Student’s Guide’s page Insurances. 

Please note that you can still join Humak’s student union HUMAKO as an Open UAS student.

Lecturers collect student feedback at the end of courses with a separate questionnaire. You can find the course feedback surveys on the Students desktop. There you can see all the current course feedback surveys for the courses you are studying. There you will also find a summary of the feedback given by all students (numerical replies only) and the lecturer’s response to the students’ feedback after the survey closes. The feedback is anonymous. Filling out course-specific feedback questionnaires is the best way for students to have an effect on the development of courses and teaching at Humak. 

In addition to course feedback, you can give general feedback related to studies, studying, or Open UAS practices by filling out the Open UAS Feedback Form.

Humak’s Open UAS students are welcome to attend study skills meetings. These meetings provide information on study planning, time management, online studies, reading scientific texts, exam preparation, dealing with stage fright, and other study-related matters. More information on study skills meetings can be found here (in Finnish only).
