Information on course registration and exams.
Course enrollment in SISU
The course enrollment starts a couple of weeks prior to the beginning of the period. Enrollment closes one day before the period begins. When the enrollments have closed, the student can only be enrolled to a specific course by the teacher's consent.
Who has the right to complete a course?
Please check that you fulfill the prerequisites before you enroll to a course. The requirements are described in the course description. The teacher will check that the prerequisites are fulfilled when the course enrollment has closed.
The introduction lecture for a study unit is sometimes compulsory. If you are not able to be present during that lecture, please inform the teacher about the matter in advance (only valid reasons are accepted). The absence may be compensated with an e.g. obligatory pre-assignment. Moreover, you are not entitled to extra support due to your absence. If you do not participate in the following lectures or submit the prospective pre-assignment the teacher has the right to cancel your course enrollment.
It is always recommended to participate in the introduction lecture even though it is not compulsory. During this lecture you will receive important information about the study unit (setup, grading etc.).
After a finished course
Students not showing up will be removed from the course. Students who do not complete the course (e.g. unsubmitted assignments or failed study attainments) will receive grade 0.
