User privileges to computers at the University

New undergraduate students can obtain user access to the University's computer network from any of the University's computer Departments. Usually access is given only to the PC network (Faculty of Social Sciences Sato-network). New students can obtain user permission from the Faculty's study office (Unioninkatu 37). Students can also request Unix-permission from the Department's computer support person.

Other students, for example those whose user permission has expired, or for some other reason do not already have user permission, can request it from the Department's computer support person. This is also the case for post-graduate students. Application forms can be found on the Internet or from the computer support person.

Students can renew expired user accounts within a year of the date of expiry. This is because information of expired user accounts is still registered for one calendar year. The computer support person can also renew user account permission. However, if the user password has also already expired then the student must apply again. The central user account permission office is located at Fabianinkatu 24A.

Computer user account permission should be renewed annually. Students will be informed via automated e-mail messages that they should renew their user accounts. These messages will be sent well in advance of the date of expiry. Students can renew their user account permission by entering the command jatkalupa to the operating environment or to a web form. However, to be able to renew the account, students must be first registered at the university for the corresponding academic year. User accounts will remain open for those students who go on a student exchange programme if they notify the computer support person.

Students that have changed Departments and originally obtained their user account permission from another Department must contact the computer support person of that Department. User permission can also be transferred to the Sociology Department by notifying the computer support Department. Notifications can be sent to the address atk-luvat@helsinki.fi. The notification can also be addressed to the corresponding computer support person.
