The first step in getting started is to activate your UEF user name at University of Eastern Finland (UEF). Your UEF user name enables you to log in to all the university’s online services, such as student email, online learning environments, study register Peppi and library services.
You can activate your new UEF username by the following day after the study right has been recorded in the student register Peppi and you have received a message regarding your study right.
Please see the website How to get a UEF username? - UEF Kamu.
With your UEF username, you will get access to the university’s Microsoft 365 services, including a student email. Your email address will be formed of your username: username@student.uef.fi. When logging in, you need to use it in the form of username@uef.fi. Please remember to check your UEF email regularly because notifications about your studies will be sent only there. See here for more information.
Peppi is the student and study register used at UEF. Via Peppi you will get access to your personal information, personal study plan (PSP), the duration of your study right, study transcript and course schedules. You can log with you UEF username (username@uef.fi). Instructions on how to use Peppi can be found in a separate Peppi Handbook for students.
We recommend you to familiarise yourself with the Digistartti introduction before commencing your studies. The purpose of Digistartti is to familiarize you with the digital tools and online learning envi-ronments used at UEF well before you need to use them in your studies.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your study subject’s coordinator or training secretary – we are here to help you.
You can also contact us through:
- sending an e-mail to jok-ohjaus@uef.fi, and we'll figure out who can help you or
- reserving a meeting online.
All of these are free, and you can freely use them even before starting your studies.
