New Peppi version now in use

The University of Oulu’s student information system Peppi has been updated to version 5.3.0. This version includes technical fixes to previously identified issues and error situations. As a result of the update, system usability has improved, and the services now operate more smoothly for all users.

A new functionality has been added to the Student’s desktop to support applications for exemption from language studies. Students can now specify directly in the application the course from which they are seeking exemption and attach the required documentation at the same time. A complementary course must also be indicated as part of the same application. Students will receive email instructions concerning the new feature introduced in the exemption application process.

As a correction, the drag-and-drop functionality on the Scheduling tab in the student’s PSP now correctly moves a study unit to the desired position without removing it from the timeline.

The next planned Peppi version update is scheduled for spring 2026. Peppi is being developed with a user-centred approach, and we warmly welcome feedback and suggestions. You can send your feedback to peppi@oulu.fi.
