Discussion channels
Kumpula students mainly use Telegram for communication purpoises. TKO-äly, in addition to other student organizations, uses Telegram actively. The University has sometimes utilized it for communication purposes as well. In addition, TKO-äly and the CS department both have their own Discord servers.
TKO-äly's announcement and discussion channels can be found on Telegram. The announcement channels are used for important messages and reminders about events and student-related affairs. Discussion channels can be used to chat with fellow students on a broad range of topics. Some discussion channels are officially moderated by TKO-äly, but some are unofficial.
The general discussion guidelines must be followed on all TKO-äly channels.
Course channels exist for almost all CS courses as well as most physics and maths courses. Some are official, some are student-run. The CS department's official channels can be found on the derpatment's Discord server, although there are still some that are on Telegram. Student-run unofficial course channels can be found on Telegram, but they don't usually have course staff to assist. Other Kumpula departments' course channels are usually found on Telegram.
