1. Student user authentication in WebOodi

 

WebOodi is a part of the centralized HAKA single-sign in system. You can log in to WebOodi with your HAKA username and password (same as e-mail username and password). If you are already logged in to another system using your HAKA ID (e.g. Moodle, the University Portal) you don’t have to log in again.

If you have forgotten your password, you can change it at the web service https://ident.uwasa.fi/start/. please contact If you have problems with your HAKA ID, please contact it(at)univaasa.fi or 029 449 8001.

In other issues related to WebOodi, please send e-mail to edusys(at)univaasa.fi.
 

 

2. Starting up WebOodi

 

The software is used through a web browser. The applicable browsers are the standard versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari.

To be able to use WebOodi your browser must allow the use of cookies.

 

Before logging in you can see the main menu showing the functionalities available to everyone. Even if you do not have a valid username or password you can browse the information about teaching events, for example.

 

3. Starting a WebOodi session

 

If you wish to register for an exam through WebOodi, you must first log in using your HAKA username and password. In the front page, click “Login to WebOodi“.

 

In the authentication service you must give your HAKA username and password. Click the “Ok”-button. After logging in, you will be taken to your personal front page where you can select the function of your choice from the main menu. The courses of the day and the exams for which you have registered through WebOodi will appear on your calendar.

 

Your name is visible in the upper right corner of the window. You can see your student number below the text "Welcome to WebOodi" at the front page. Even if you have several rights to study, you have only one student number in use.

 

4. Searching for teaching events
 

The main menu’s Search option allows you to search for courses or exams (= teaching events), basing your search on the code (e.g. TITE1022) or name. You may also enter part of the code (e.g. 102) or part of the name as a search criterion.

 

You can search for information using the "By search terms" option. It allows you to search for information on study modules or courses and exams on the basis of their name, code, type, organisation, subject, time, start date – end date or teaching language. When you have entered the desired in-formation (e.g. code TITE1022), click the "Search courses and exams" button or the "Search study units" button (study units and their descriptions in the Study Guide). You will then get a list of the search results.

 

Alternatively, you may search for information "By study guide". Select the department whose teaching events or study units you wish to see. You will then get a list of the subjects that belong to the department in question.

 

Using several search criteria at a time yields you those courses that correspond to ALL the criteria you entered. It is often useful to begin with just one criterion or to begin with one first and then get into more detail if necessary.

 

Regarding faculties/departments you may either select "Show teaching events" or "Show study units". The "Show teaching events" button appears only with faculties or departments that have teaching events and for which WebOodi registration time is in progress.
 

 

5. Registering for teaching and exams

 

You can search for the teaching event using the main menu’s "Search courses and exams" function. Teaching events can be searched using the following criteria: name, code, type, organisation, subject, time, start date - end date and teaching language. When you have entered the necessary information (e.g. Code TITE1022), click on the "Search courses and exams" button. You will get a list of teaching events that match the search criteria.

In "My studies" you can observe your valid registrations, credits, and upgraded or rejected studies. You can select the item you wish to see from the menu on the left.

7. Personal information

 

You must maintain your contact information up-to-date. You can change your address information by pressing the "Edit" button at the bottom of the pane. Add or modify the necessary information and click "Save". The modifications succeeded if you get the message: "Changes have been saved!"

 

If you have a non-Finnish address, write the entire address on the "Address" line. Enter the Telephone number by giving the area code first and then the number (e.g. 06 1234567). All your modifications will be stored in the enrolment register but NOT in the YTHS (Finnish Student Health Service, FSHS) or the library. The student must deliver the new address information to them separately.

 

The student him/herself must make sure that the conditions for giving out student information are correct. You can modify the information by clicking the "Edit" button. If you do not want any of your information to be given out, remove the check marks from each box (= unselect) and save the changes you made. The system updates the changes on the following night.
