Here you will find information on how students at Arcada can find and register for courses offered via the Campus Online network. The content on this page primarily applies to development studies (optional studies).
Campus Online
Campus Online (COL) is a shared digital course offering provided by Finnish UAS. COL courses are open and free of charge for all students who are registered as present at a Finnish UAS. Courses are available at both bachelor’s and master’s level and are well-suited if, for example, you wish to complete an individual course remotely.
⚠ Note that : You should always consult your study counsellor or degree programme director before registering for Campus Online courses, to ensure that the courses can be included in your degree.
Instructions for Registering for Campus Online Courses
Development Studies - Optional studies
Campus Online courses can be found through the search function in Sisu , under the tab “Cross-institutional courses”. Once you have found a course offered by another UAS that you would like to complete, contact your study counsellor.
If you receive approval that the course fits into your degree, you must go to your personal study plan in Sisu and place the course under the section for development studies. Once the course is placed in your study plan, you may register for the course when the registration period is open. Please note that registration periods and participation quotas are defined by the UAS offering the course, and Arcada cannot influence these.

⚠ Please note that most Campus Online courses have limited numbers of spots and may fill up quickly. It is therefore possible that you may not secure a place even if you register within the registration period.
⚠ Please also note that it may take several days for the host UAS to process your registration. You may receive confirmation of your participation only after the registration period has ended. Arcada has no control over the registration procedures, timelines, or student quotas set by the hosting UAS.
- Make sure to follow the host UAS’s instructions regarding account activation, userID, accessing course materials, etc. This information is typically found on the host institution’s public website. If you have difficulty accessing course materials or are unable to register for the course, you must contact the host institution directly. Arcada's staff members do not have access to this information and cannot assist you.
