NB! AVOID UNNECESSARY REGISTRATION. CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION IF YOU CHANGE YOUR PLANS!

- We at the department try to adapt the teaching to the needs of the students as much as possible. In order for us to succeed in this, it is important that the data in the registration system is the same as the actual situation. During recent years, empty registration has grown to such an extent that rational planning has become impossible. You may attempt only twice to complete a lecture course in the Basic or Intermediate Studies module by registering into an exercise group. It is counted as an attempt if you have not withdrawn your registration by the end of the deadline, specified separately for each course, usually by the end of the first week of exercises. The course lecturer may grant additional attempts on the basis of well-argued applications. Attempts that have been made before autumn 2002 will not be counted. There are no restrictions on taking separate exams. Please keep in mind that the place you have registered for "just in case" is taken away from some other student, who might really need it. That student may some day be You.

General information

Teaching and exams are generally arranged at the department, in the Exactum building (Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2b) at the Kumpula campus. Some course exams may be given in other university facilities at Kumpula or downtown.

Registration

For the first half-term and courses lasting the whole term

• REGISTRATION STARTS ON FRIDAY 24 Aug at 9.00 o'clock .

For the second half-term

• registration for the second half-term starts on TUESDAY 9 Oct at 9.00 o'clock .

The students from the school co-operation programme and students with separate study rights or in the upgrading programme are termed major subject students.

In general, registration for lecture courses, seminars, exercise groups and final exams is done through the www-based registration system .

For some courses, you register by e-mail or by filling in a form (this is mentioned in the course schedule below). There are more detailed instructions on how to use the registration system on the web at http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/opiskelu/ohjeet/ilmoittautuminen-en.html.

Lecture courses

Unless other arrangements are mentioned below, you have to register for lecture courses during the first week of lectures, at the latest.

Registrations for separate exams must be made on or before the Monday of the week before the exam. Please see

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/en/exams

for a schedule of the final exams during Fall 2012.

Course exams are directly connected with the course, and you do not have to register separately for them. Please see

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/en/exams/course-exams

for a schedule of the mid-term exams during Fall 2012.

Please see the course descriptions for course contents and literature, as well as instructions for exams.

• Course List

When attending an exam, you must bring your student card or some other means of identification. Each examinee must write their name on a list that circulates during the exam. Please write your full name, personal number or student number, the name of the course and your signature on each exam paper, as well as paginating your papers

Project groups

Students who have not finished their work in an earlier team may not register for a new team, but have to register for the course's drop-out queue Registrations may be made until the first day the team meets.

Registrations that have not been cancelled 48 hours before the first meeting are binding. A student who has made a binding registration but cannot finish the work on time, may not register directly for another team, but must register through the drop-out queue.

The team is formed from the students who are present at the first team meeting (NB! For the Programming project and Database applications project, the first meeting is held after the first lecture). The students who have registered for the actual team and its queue have priority. If there are still places left in the team, students from the drop-out queue who are present at the meeting, can join the team in the order that they have registered for the drop-out queue. This means that the students must be present from the start of the first meeting, otherwise they will lose their places in their team.

A team may be cancelled if it is too small. We will try to place students whose team has been cancelled into other teams.
