Annual enrolment starts on 2 May - remember the health care fee

Each academic year, university students must enrol as either attending or non-attending for the autumn and spring term. Only those enrolled as attending students may complete studies, receive counselling and graduate. In connection with the enrolment, students pay the membership fee of Aalto University Student Union, which entitles you to various member benefits and services.

New students starting in the autumn of 2022 first accept their offer of admission in Studyinfo and then go to the OILI service to enrol for the academic year and pay the membership fee of the Student Union.

Continuing bachelor’s and master’s students also enrol in the OILI.

The enrolment period for the academic year 2022–2023 is 2 May–2 Sept 2022. It is advisable to enrol for the entire academic year, as a re-enrolment fee of EUR 35 is charged if you forget to enrol. The enrolment for attendance may only be changed during the enrolment period. Outside of enrolment periods, non-attending status may be changed to attending status.

• Aalto University website has comprehensive information on annual enrolment for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students.

Exchange students should enrol only after receiving confirmation of admission

All bachelor and master level students pay the student union membership fee, including international bachelor and master level students. Exchange students may also become members of the Student Union if they wish to do so. It is possible to live in an AYY's apartment only as a member of AYY. It should be noted that students for whom joining the Student Union is voluntary will not be refunded a paid membership fee if the membership is cancelled. Thus, you should pay AYY’s membership fee only when it is certain that your studies will begin according to plan.
