13.01.2022 Leave a Comment

The University of Eastern Finland’s new user account and email address creation has suffered from delays that has caused issues with logging in to the systems. User access rights management has also suffered from these delays.

The issues have been especially visible for new students of Spring 2022. Other students may also have had login issues with Peppi or email.

The causes for the issues have been found and corrections are being made. The situation should improve during this week.

In addition, opiskelu@uef.fi email has been detected with a fault, that has caused a delay in the handling of the requests sent. The fault has been fixed and the queue is being processed as quick as possible.

We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Kuopio Campus Christmas Party moved online due to the coronavirus situation

08.12.2021 Leave a Comment

The traditional Kuopio Campus Christmas Party on 15 December 2021 will be moved online because the coronavirus situation in the North-Savo region has deteriorated, and the Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland has imposed a restriction on public gatherings. A link to the live stream event will be updated in the events calendar in Heimo shortly, in a few days’ time. The link will also be announced in the UEF Current News group on Yammer.

The Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland decided on 2 December 2021 to restrict public gatherings of more than 100 people when all the participants do not have an assigned seat, or when the programme includes sing-along songs. The decision is in force until 27 December 2021 and pertains only to the Kuopio Campus. The decision does not have an effect on other activities of the Kuopio Campus, including teaching and public examinations of doctoral dissertations.

Spring semester 2022

Teaching in the spring semester 2022 will be started in accordance with the curriculum. Student exchange will also be possible in the spring semester 2022 (exchange students and degree students, both incoming and outgoing) while observing the guidelines issued by the university, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, as well as the guidelines of the destination countries and host institutions.

Working at the university in the spring semester 2022 continues as multilocation work. Staff mobility (both incoming and outgoing) is also permitted in the spring semester 2022 while observing the guidelines issued by the university, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, as well as the guidelines of the destination countries and host institutions.
