Operating logic of course registration in Sisu

Sisu has the following operating logic when you register for courses:

1. Add a course to your primary study plan on the Structure of studies-page.
2. Schedule your studies on the Timeline-page.
   • You can register for courses even without scheduling them. However, scheduling them will make it easier for you to see your upcoming courses. More detailed instructions on using the timeline are available here.
3. Use the Registration-page to choose the teaching you wish to attend and register for it. 

Registration for courses

1. Open the Structure of studies page.
2. Check to see that the courses you are registering for are in your primary study plan.
   • Update the course versions, if necessary. You can do so at the banner ‘Your study plan includes courses that have a version available for the current curriculum period. View courses to update.’
3. Go to the Registration page.
   • If you have more than one right to study, specify which right to study you will use to register for the courses you want.
4. Choose the courses you want to take under the heading Courses to be completed and selection of course unit.
5. After making your selection, go to Register and click the Register button for your chosen courses. The button is at the bottom of the registration box.
6. Make your teaching group selections and answer any registration questions in the window that opens.
   • If attendance in all the teaching groups of a course is mandatory, Sisu automatically displays them as selected.
   • If the course has teaching groups that are not mandatory, select the groups that are suitable for you. Detailed instructions are below at ‘The course includes several teaching groups and students do not need to participate in every group’.
7. Click Confirm to complete your registration. 

Sisu will perform a registration calculation usually within about a minute after you have registered. When the page view is updated, you can see whether you met the conditions for registration and whether you are now admitted or are likely to be admitted based on Sisu’s calculations.
