At the beginning of each academic year, students must register as attending or non-attending for all their active study rights to retain their right to study. Also, students must update their personal study plan before they can register for any courses. We have gathered a list of all the things that old students must remember to do before each academic year below. Remember to do these sooner rather than later!
You must register as attending or non-attending for all your active study rights to retain your right to study. More info on Registration for the Academic year -page.
Before each academic year you must update your personal study plan (PSP). You must update the course version to the ongoing academic year for each course that you are planning to take. Please note that you cannot register for any course before the version has been updated. After you update the version, you will also see if there have been any changes to the courses, such as changes in the teaching period or if the course has been replaced with another.
Please note that when you update the course version, the course will disappear from the Timeline. Therefore, you will need update your Timeline as well and add the courses back.
Note! Sisu workshops are arranged for continuing degree students in August. At the workshops, study advisors provide guidance and assistance with the course enrollment. See timetables in Current topics.
You can find more information regarding updating the version and course registrations Sisu instructions videos.

A student, who has started their studies in LUT in a bachelor’s degree programme, cannot do their master’s degree studies until they have graduated from their bachelor’s degree, or they meet the requirements for transferring to master’s studies Continuing to a Master's programme -page.
