Studying at JAMK

Enrol for attendance or non-attendance

In order to retain their study entitlement, students must enrol for attendance/non-attendance via the Peppi system of JAMK every semester during the enrolment period. Non-enrolment (both for attendance and non-attendance) leads to loss of study entitlement.

Enrolment for the spring semester can be done simultaneously with the enrolment for the preceding autumn semester. If you want to change enrolment from attendance to non-attendance or vice versa you must contact Student Services. Enrolment may be changed only during the enrolment period, not in the middle of a semester.

Students may remove their registration for a course in the Peppi during the registration periods.
