| '''This is a collection of information to help you along with the start of your studies'''
| |
| | |
| ==Before the academic year starts==
| |
| | |
| ===Accept your offer of admission===
| |
| * Accept your student place by the deadline according to the instructions in your admission letter.
| |
| | |
| ===Register yourself as an attending or non-attending student===
| |
| * Follow the steps outlined in the acceptance letter. You must register as attending by the end of August.
| |
| * You must pay the student union membership fee (46€ in 2022) and [https://www.kela.fi/web/en/healthcare-fee-for-students-in-higher-education the healtcare fee for students in higher education] (35,80 € / semester). The healthcare fee due date is September 30th, after which you must pay a late-payment fee of 5€.
| |
| * Note that in the fall you are only able to pay the fall's fee, as the next year's prices have not been set yet.
| |
| | |
| ===Find an appartment===
| |
| * Good resources are [https://hoas.fi/en/ HOAS] (Foundation for student housing in the Helsinki region) as well as the student union's [https://hyy.fi/en/guides/housing hosuing guide]. The union also has [https://bothxhome.fi/en/ their own student houses] and many of the [[https://osakunta.fi/asunnot/ student nations offer apartments for their members] (Finnish).
| |
| * Remember to submit a [https://www.posti.fi/en/private/change-address notification of address change] once you've moved. The notification can also be submitted in-person at [https://dvv.fi/en/service-locations Digital and Population Data Services Agency service locations].
| |
| ** Note that the notification might take a while to be processed. If this prevents you from gaining e.g. a student discount in the HSL app, contact the [https://dvv.fi/en/customer-service-for-private-customers Digital and Population Data Services Agency's address service].
| |
| ** If you're receiving the previous tenant's post after moving in, cross out the address, write "wrong address" or "does not live at address". You can return the post to any post box, to a Posti service location or hand it to the postperson.
| |
| ** Especially if you're receiving old post, check [https://dvv.fi/en/population-information-in-the-population-information-system your data in the Personal Data service] to see that the property tenant count is correct. The previous tenant might have forgotten to do a notification of address change, which may affect your benefits.
| |
| * Find out if you need to make a separate notice to the (deputy) landlord. If in doubt, ask a neighbor!
| |
| | |
| ===Figure out your finances===
| |
| * Check what benefits you're eglible for [https://www.kela.fi/web/en/what-kind-of-student-benefits-can-you-get at Kela's website].

| ===Get a student card===
| |
| [https://www.frank.fi/en/studentcard/ Frank] is a student card with access to all student discounts (e.g. VR). You don't need other student cards in Finland (although [https://www.isic.org/ ISIC] might be helpful for intl. travel)
| |
| * The Frank app works as a student card. You don't necessarily need a physical card, but it is available to order.
| |
| * The student card is required to get a student discount in e.g. UniCafe.
| |
| * If you do order a physical student card, [https://studies.helsinki.fi/instructions/article/year-tag-and-calendar year tags] for them are distributed at the start of the academic year at campuses. If you need a year tag during the rest of the calendar year, you can get them from the student union's [https://hyy.fi/en/services-office services office].
| |
| | |
| ===Get a student discount for public transport===
| |
| Activate student status in the HSL app for a discounted monthly ticket.

| |
| * Note that the discount is applied only to the monthly ticket.
| |
| * From the beginning of 2022 the discount can only be applied in the HSL app.
| |
| ** There are [https://www.hsl.fi/en/tickets-and-fares/discounted-travel/student-discount/exceptions-student-discount-on-the-hsl-card-also-in-the-future exceptions to this rule] that allow you to get the discount on a physical card as well.

| |
| ** Google Maps also has great public transport support.
| |

| Some of the IT facilities are available outside normal campus opening hours. Students registered for attendance can get a magnetic key that allows you to use Gurula and other rooms meant for 24 h use.
| |
| * Instructions for applying for the key are at [https://helpdesk.it.helsinki.fi/en/instructions/other-instructions/night-access-keys Helpdesk's webpage].

| |
| | |
| ===Get to know your tutoring group===
| |
| Tutors are students that will help you at the beginning of your studies. You'll get a message from your own tutor(s) before the start of the academic year. Tutors hold meetings where you can get to know other freshers in your tutor group as well as the campus.
| |
| Being a part of the tutor group is an easy way to make your first university friends. You'll also stay up to date. If nothing else, your tutor is a great #1 go-to for help regarding any questions you might have.
