The link to Digistartti 2024-2025 (opens in a new window).
In order to start your studies, it is important that you familiarise yourself with the UEF digital services with the help of Digistartti during the summer even before starting your studies. New students familiarise themselves with and complete the tasks of Digistartti on the Digistartti platform for the academic year 2024-2025.
Digistartti offers you an introduction to the digital study environments used at the University of Eastern Finland. We recommend that you complete the Digistartti assignments at the very beginning of your studies, preferably within two weeks after starting your studies.
You can access the materials in Digistartti without a UEF user account, but please note that you can complete the assignments only when you log in with your UEF account.
In order for your UEF user account to work, all the below conditions have to be met:
- register as a present student at UEF
