That's right, do the Metropolia first, if you need to get something different down the road, work on those after Metropolia IT classes has been completed.  Even if it's within your backyard, sometimes it's not really known until you actively search for things... It's better now than later, as they may implement even more stringent rules and regulations for EU/EHEA students...

Metropolia is confusing and not clear on their dealings.

1- Monday I scheduled an online meeting for today with admission and I received no links for the meeting, no one has reached out to me about the meeting. The time for the meeting has passed and I haven't met with anyone. 



2- Meanwhile I was able to sign up and appplied for the Metropolia Open UAS online path Degree Programme of Information Technology, path 180 ECTS and was accepted. I receieved a welcome email with details and many different confusing links about the program and different platforms for the program courses.
 The problemis that in order to use the various platform I need a User ID which no one has assigned me.

3- I emailed 4 different people plus HelpDesk about acquiring my User ID and no one has responded to me as of now (it's been 2 days).
    
4- I received a generic "No Reply" email stating that I need to activate my User ID, but never received one.
Part of the email said:
"If you completed a strong identification when enrolling, you can activate your user ID online using your online banking codes or Mobile ID. See the instructions for activating your user ID. If you did not complete a strong identification when enrolling, you must visit a service point of Metropolia's Student and Admission Services and present an identification document in order to receive your user ID."

 Since I did not complete the Identificaion during enrollement (because I am not Finnish, I had a skip option) according to the email,  "I must visit a service point of Metropolia's Student and Admission Services and present an identification document in order to receive your user ID." 

The problem is that I am not able to go to Finland due to my traveling.
So I sent an email to the Admission Service email address that they have on their website and they responded as follow:
"Thank you for your email!

There is a delay in replying to emails. We will answer all the emails on a first-come-first-answered basis as soon as possible. All emails will be answered so please do not send the same email twice or more.

Wishing you a nice day!
Metropolia Admission Services"



Metropolia's website is like a maze and not clear on many subjects, especially the User ID part.

UMPI seem to be morre simple and user friendly. Plus UMPI employees have responded to all of my email inquiries from the admission department to the Student Financial Services Department.

I will wait until tomorrow or Monday to see if Metropolia will respond.
