Continuing Students | Annual Registration

Continuing students use OILI online service to register during annual registration period 2.5.–5.9.2025. If for any reason you are unable to register automatically through OILI, you can register in person by contacting your Faculty's Study Services.

The registration period only for the Spring semester is 1.12.2025-30.1.2026. In that period, you can also change your absence registration for the Spring semester to attendance in the OILI service.

• Degree students who are registering as present, must pay Student Union OYY membership fee.
• Continuing students need a Finnish personal identity code to be able to register in OILI service.

Students who are liable to pay for tuition

• Continuing students with a tuition fee can register in OILI using their Haka credentials once the tuition fee has been paid and the payment information has been recorded in Peppi. The delay for the payment information to transfer is approximately 3-5 days, after which the registration option will become visible in OILI.

If you you do not have a valid user account (e.g. you have registered as non-attending for your first academic year due to a statutory reason) or you cannot register automatically for some other reason, you can also register by contacting the Faculty Study Services during the registration period.

Degree students (excluding PhD students) must pay the Student Union membership fee before registering. You can either:

1. Send an email containing your full name, date of birth, and receipt of paid Student Union membership fee to your Faculty's Study Services
2. Please mention which study rights you will be registering for.
3. Visit your faculty's Study Service Point. In order to be able to register, you will need to have your student card or ID with you and show a receipt of paid Student Union membership fee. See the opening hours at Faculty Study Services.

If you do not register for attendance or non-attendance during the registration period, you will lose your study right at the University of Oulu. The process for reactivating your study right depends on the timing of your application for readmission.

• If a student has neglected to register to the University within the registration period, the student will have to apply for the reactivation of study right with Eforms -system.
• If there are problems with student's user account, please see activation of student's user account
• More information

In case the student has both degree study right and doctoral study right, the registration has to be done for both study rights. If the student wishes only to take part in doctoral studies, the student will have to give up one's study right as a degree student. Resignation form can be filled out in Eforms system. In order to retain both study rights, the student will have to pay the Student Union Membership fee for degree study right.
