For more information about Peppi check the Peppi Handbook.
Deployment of Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for UEF users has been done and in the future MFA will be automatically applied to all users using UEF’s Microsoft 365 environment. The deployment concerns both student and staff users. MFA will be also deployed for outside stakeholders accounts. UEF employees should take note of the deployment of MFA if non UEF users are invited to UEF Microsoft 365 groups with other than UEF email address.
If you still haven’t registered MFA it will be automatically applied to your account on 1.11.2022.
Instructions on how to start using MFA can be found on IT Services webpage – uef.fi/en/tipa (new tab).
We recommend using an authenticator app for MFA confirmation. If you have a smart phone, using Microsoft Authenticator to authenticate the login is more safe and user friendly option than a text message. You can find instructions for Authetincator at uef.fi/en/tipa (new tab).
You can modify your MFA settings if needed here: https://aka.ms/mfasetup (new tab).
If you have a user account that has multiple users e.g. to test systems or a shared mailbox, please notify about it as soon as possible to servicedesk@uef.fi. MFA will not be deployed to the notified accounts.

The student unions’ livelihood survey will examine students’ livelihood, employment and housing, as well as any changes regarding them. The survey generates relevant and up-to-date information on the financial status of university students across Finland.
The survey responses will be utilised for the livelihood survey and in student representation. Your responses are valuable and will contribute to fact-based advocacy.
The study is implemented by the Finnish Research Foundation for Studies and Education Otus.

It takes about 15 minutes to complete the survey and you can answer until October 31st.
One student among the respondents of ISYY will win an S Group gift card valued at 150 euros.
