Information channels
You will stay best up to date by following the university’s main communication channels. These are the most important ones to start with.
Viva Engage – main student communication channel
Viva Engage is the university’s main channel for student communication. Join the UEF Opiskelijat // UEF Students community (requires UEF login) to receive news and announcements intended for all students.
Also follow the university-wide UEF Yhteisö // UEF Community community (requires UEF login).
Kamu – student databank
Kamu contains shared instructions for all students, service links, and current announcements. The News feed in Kamu publishes:
- university announcements for students in Finnish and English
- information on updates to instructions
- exceptional service schedules
- information about university events and services for students
Study communities – programme-specific information
A study community is a site for your own degree programme or subject, where you can find programme-specific instructions and up-to-date information. Follow at least the study communities of your major and minor subjects.
Study communities require UEF login. You can find them here (link).
Other useful channels
- Tuudo – mobile app with current announcements
- ISYY – student union website and news
- Wiikko-Ärsyke – campus-specific newsletter
- Social media channels – university and unit-level channels (e.g. library, language centre)
Exceptional situations and disruptions
Planned disruptions are announced in the service’s own communication channel and in the UEF Students community on Viva Engage.
In crisis situations, you will receive information by text message or email.
