Survey on student well-being open until 15 January 2021

22.12.2020 Leave a Comment on Survey on student well-being open until 15 January 2021

Hi UEF- student! How have your studies been going during this fall? How have you been? How well have you managed to recover?

The term is already over and the holiday season is almost here, but we hope you can still take a moment to reflect on the past Autumn and answer this questionnaire. We would like to emphasise that the knowledge gained by our study will be utilised in monitoring and improving students’ well-being.

We are investigating the ways in which the state of emergency caused by the coronavirus pandemic influences our students’ studies and well-being during the years 2020-21. We are also interested in the stress factors related to the state of emergency, and the resources and means that have helped in coping with the situation.

The first part of this study was conducted in Spring 2020, so, you might have filled in our questionnaire already then. Now, we hope both previous and new participants to join in.

You can take part in the research by responding to the questionnaire behind this link. It will only take about 10 minutes. Every response is important!

And hey, we will raffle 10 iTunes movie vouchers among the participants who leave their contact details!

Thank you in advance! We wish you a relaxing Holiday Season and hopefully a better New Year!

Professor Markku Niemivirta & the team

Healthcare fee for students in higher education starting 1 January 2021

01.12.2020 Leave a Comment on Healthcare fee for students in higher education starting 1 January 2021

Starting 1 January 2021 the healthcare fee for students in higher education will be paid to Kela (Social Insurance Institution of Finland). Until 31 December 2020 the healthcare fee has been included in the student union membership fee. You can find information on the healthcare fee for students in higher education on the Kela website (opens in a new tab).

All students who are present and are completing a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a Finnish institute of higher learning must pay the healthcare fee for students in higher education. Students who go abroad on student exchange and are completing a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a Finnish institute of higher learning and register as present must also pay the fee.

Exchange students who come to a Finnish institute of higher learning and are not completing a degree at a Finnish institute of higher learning do not pay the fee and cannot use the services of the FSHS (Finnish Student Healthcare Services).

The student union membership fee for the 2020-2021 academic year contained the healthcare fee for only the autumn 2020 semester. If you are registered as present (attending) for the spring 2021 semester, you must pay the healthcare fee to Kela by 31 January 2021. The healthcare fee for the spring 2021 semester is EUR 35.80. You can find the payment instructions on the Kela website (opens in a new tab). Please note that you must pay the fee on your own initiative. Kela will not send you a bill for the fee.

Please find more information on the FSHS website (opens in a new tab) and the frequently asked questions -section on the Kela website (opens in a new tab).

NOTE! The University of Eastern Finland’s registration period for the spring 2021 is now open and ends on 15 January 2021. You can find the registration instructions in Kamu (opens in a new tab).
