The course offerings for 2025-2026 are available – the aim is to support timely planning of studies

15.04.2025 Leave a Comment on The course offerings for 2025-2026 are available – the aim is to support timely planning of studies

The basic information on the courses offered in the academic year 2025–2026 has been compiled by faculty and is available on Kamu. The service is new, and the purpose is to assist students in planning their studies for the next academic year earlier than in previous years.

The course offerings website includes courses offered by faculty during the next academic year including basic information on each course (name, code, ECTS credits and semesters). In addition, information on the modes of study may be included.

Please note that the course offerings may still change during the spring semester 2025. The course offering information will be removed from Kamu on 19th June and the finalized course offerings with detailed information will be published in the Peppi study guides by 31st July 2025.

 The Academic Affairs Specialists of your faculty or your PSP counsellor can give you more information.

  • Download your transcript of records or study certificate on Peppi.

During the service interruption 11th-13th March, the following functions will unfortunately be unavailable:

  • Loging into Peppi (students and staff)
  • Creating new study rights or changing existing study rights or changing term registration. These can affect the function of UEF user account.

  • Saving new study attainments and RPL on Peppi, including exams done on EXAM system.
  • Planning studies and checking study attainments on personal study plan of Peppi

  • Room reservations for teaching (or for other use) and changes of teaching timetables
  • Unavailable plug-in services during the maintenance break: Study Guide, Atomi, Lukkarikone Schedule Assistant, Tuudo Room Reservations, Course Feedback OJP

Partially available services:

  • Tuudo
    • Most functions are working normally, such as teaching schedule information/timetable for the next two weeks. Library card and student card will work.
    • During the interruption, course search, new registrations for course units or exams, new library card applications, and room reservations will not work.
  • EXAM
    • Exams can be taken if the registration is completed before the service interruption.
    • New registrations for exams can’t be done.
    • Exam study attainments will not transfer to Peppi during the interruption.
  • Moodle
    • Most functions are working normally.
    • New registrations for course units using the Peppi–Moodle integration will not transfer to Moodle during the interruption.
  • Applying for Open University courses
    • Registration for Open University courses doesn’t work 11th March, but will work after it. The study rights will be created only after the interruption. (EDITED 4th March)

The new version of Peppi improves technical functionality and includes new developments related to cross-institutional studies and the Opin.fi service, as well as bug fixes.

If possible, the service interruption may end slightly earlier. However, short interruptions may still occur after 13th March to ensure the functionality of parts of the Peppi system.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the service interruption! Please, let us know, if you notice something unfunctional on Peppi or on plug-in services after the service interruption. We will answer as soon as possible.

Please send your questions and feedback to peppituki@uef.fi.
