- The rules of the institution that organizes the course must be followed.
- The assessments are made and registered in the target institution and the credits can be transferred to home institution by accreditation of learning.

General Instructions for Studying at Oamk
You need a student ID, i.e. students.oamk.fi user ID, to be able to use Oamk’s online services (online learning environments, e-mail and cloud storage facilities). When you use the student ID, you agree to follow Oamk’s rules for using information systems and accept the terms of use at the same time. You can check the status of your ID from Account info service using the Suomi.fi e-identification.
Your student ID can be picked up in 3 days. Get your student ID according to instructions of the ICT-services. When getting a student ID, you must prove your identity with bank credentials, an electronic identity card or a mobile certificate. If you do not have the credentials required for identification, contact Academic Affairs at study.oamk@oulu.fi.
Access rights require you to change your password as soon as you receive it. Test the functionality of your student ID in advance before starting your studies. Try, for example, to log in to the MS 365 cloud service. In case you have problems logging in, contact ICT services.
The same user ID is used for all Oamk’s systems, such as Moodle (online learning environment) and Peppi (Oamk’s student management system).
During courses, teachers can use e-mail for information, so remember to check your e-mail regularly.
Note! The Office 365 service is logged in with an e-mail address (username@students.oamk.fi), while for example Moodle is logged in with just a username (the end of the e-mail, @students.oamk.fi, is omitted).
Moodle is the official online learning environment of Oulu University of Applied Sciences. To use it, you have to login first. Teachers can build different kind of courses in the Moodle learning environment. They can share materials and links to students via Moodle, as well as give assignments and create discussion forums. Log into Moodle with your Oamk account (student username).
In case you have further questions, you can contact the Oamk Academic Affairs Service Team at study.oamk@oulu.fi. If you have any questions about the content or implementation of the studies, please contact the course teacher.
Good to Know about Studying at Oamk
Courses usually have a quota group for cross-institutional students. You should apply for the courses well in advance before they start. Some courses are only offered for students of certain degree programmes.
As a cross-institutional student, you will be granted a temporary right to study at Oamk. The study right is granted when the teacher accepts you to the course. The length of the study right is determined on the basis of the studies you are completing. With the study right, you can only study the cross-institutional studies that you have selected.
You can find the course timetables at Oamk Schedule Tool (Lukkarikone).
