Create a study plan

To be able to register for a course, you first need to have a study plan in Sisu. These instructions are applicable for all Arcada degree students. 

When you want to create a study plan in Sisu, please note that:

• You need a computer to create a study plan. It cannot be done on a mobile phone or a tablet. Follow these instructions when creating your study plan.
• You do not need to fully complete your study plan at this stage. The most important step is to add the courses you want to register for. Your study plan can be edited throughout your studies, and does not have to be complete until the day you graduate.

1. Log in to Sisu .
2. Click on Structure of Studies in the grey bar at the top of the page.
3. Click the button New study plan. In the pop-up window, select your education programme in the drop-down menu.
4. In the Create a new study plan pop-up window, choose the correct study programme in the drop-down menu. Then, in the drop down menu for the curriculum period, choose the academic year when you started your studies at Arcada.
5. You can edit the name of your study plan. Sisu will always suggest a name automatically, but you can change it if you wish. Next, click the button Create a plan to confirm that you want to create a new study plan in Sisu.
6. On the right-hand side in the plan, you will see the state of your modules and units. You will notice that some are missing selections. Scroll down to overview and verify your study plan. Select sections where you notice courses are missing. Please note that Health Care Students should fill all of the sections, while students in other programmes can leave the selection of Development studies to a later stage.
7. To add courses to your study plan, click on one of the section headers where you see selections are missing. A sidebar will appear. In the sidebar, select all courses you would like to add to the section by clicking the round selection symbol in the box.
8. Then return to the top of the page. If you have more than one study plan, please click the button marked with three dots, then click on 'Select as the primary plan' in the drop-down menu, to indicate that this is the primary study plan you are following.
