Metropolia University Common Problems Resolved

[thunderstruck]

I went through the whole process this week - didn't expect it to be that complicated, to be honest. Couldn't authorise myself through HAKA, emailed the coordinator about it. Sent them a picture of my passport, and they provided a link to CampusOnline e-form, where I could register for one of the courses. I filled out the form, and automatically got an acceptance letter, which contained 4-page document with courses and access to Viope and Moodle systems. Then the coordinator sent me my personal login and student ID activation info.

I was worried about payments, because some courses in that document had prices in the enrollment system (which I couldn't access in the first place). Turned out that NonStop and CampusOnline are different course catalogues. Open UAS is for everyone (hakija link, and without Finnish social security number HAKA login doesn't work, so we need to use "Skip identification" option). CampusOnline is for students of co-educational institutions (like XAMK), all of them are free, and you have to enroll via e-form. That information is listed here https://opinto-opas.metropolia.fi/offeri...76?lang=en

Oh, and for Gaming courses there's another website, where you also have to make an account after enrolling from Metropolia system and getting an acceptance letter.

TL;DR: all of the above could be found on the Metropolia Open UAS page, but there's a lot of links and different systems, so it's very confusing. But the coordinator is very nice, helped me to understand how the whole system works.

(Took me some time to write this message, so please let me know if I mixed up something, because I'm still processing all that information. But the goal is achieved, so it was worth it!)
