The University of Eastern Finland will introduce a new service called Fokus during the autumn semester of 2026. The service supports student guidance as well as the monitoring of education.
Fokus brings together information on study progress from the Peppi system into a single view and presents it in a clear and visual way. The service provides both students and staff with up-to-date information on how studies are progressing and helps identify situations where support is needed.
For students, Fokus offers a view of their own study progress and plans, and the service is accessed via the Peppi desktop. For staff, and especially for academic counsellors, the service provides tools for monitoring students’ progress and targeting guidance effectively. Counsellors can apply for access rights to the Fokus service through the UEF e-services portal. Access rights will be available for application starting in August.
In addition, the service supports educational management, monitoring of study progress, and the forecasting of graduation.
Support for using the service is available through Peppi support ([email protected]).
More information about the service rollout, schedule, and detailed instructions will be provided during the autumn.
