Cross-Institutional Studies and other joint studies
As a Humak's student, you can also study online courses from other universities of applied sciences via the cross-institutional study service for higher education institutions (RIPA). You will find the courses available from more than 20 universities of applied sciences in your Peppi educational system.

Cross-Institutional Studies for Humak students
As Humak’s student, you can also study online courses from other universities of applied sciences via the cross-institutional study service (RIPA). RIPA enables students to complete studies at another higher education institution without enrolment through a separate portal.
The CampusOnline portal closed on 31.12.2024, but the cross-institutional study opportunities offered by the CampusOnline network will remain. You will find CampusOnline courses available from more than 20 universities of applied sciences in your Peppi educational system.
CampusOnline courses are particularly suitable if you want to complete your studies on a faster schedule, study during the summer, or complete your degree with studies not offered at Humak.
Please note that as an Open UAS ‘Polku’ path student, you cannot include CampusOnline studies in your path studies, as they must be Humak studies in accordance with the criteria of Path studies.
You will find CampusOnline courses available from more than 20 universities of applied sciences in your Peppi educational system.
CampusOnline courses are particularly suitable if you want to complete your studies on a faster schedule, study during the summer, or complete your degree with studies not offered at Humak.
You can include CampusOnline credits for the studies in your degree. Before enrolling, check with your PSP coach that the course is suitable for your degree.
Studying is free for all participating degree students (Bachelor’s and Master’s), Open UAS path students and exchange students.

The CampusOnline portal closed on 31.12.2024, but the cross-institutional study opportunities (Ripa) offered by the CampusOnline network will remain. You will find the courses available from more than 20 universities of applied sciences in your own Peppi student’s desktop.
Ripa means that you can register for the studies found in Humak’s cross-study offer of different networks directly in your own Peppi student’s desktop, and also the evaluations are transferred directly to your PSP without the eRPL procedure or sharing study path links.
You can register to the studies offered by higher education insitutions using Ripa in the same way as you would register for Humak’s own studies in Peppi. You can also easily find all the courses in Peppi through your PSP. Familiarize yourself with the offering well in advance, so that you will be able to register in time for your studies.
