< Takaisin

ePSP

The personal study plan (PSP) is a tool that allows students to plan and schedule their studies. Select ”My Studies” and ”ePSP” on the top navigation bar.

Note: Before planning your PSP, make sure you have the correct study right. First, see the Study rights instructions.

 

Inspection

On the ”Inspection” tab, you will see the current structure and content of your study plan. The plan is based on the curriculum of the degree programme or it consists only studies you have either completed or enrolled in (YOOPSI). External studies refers to courses that are not part of a specific study module or that have not yet been added under a specific module.

On the right side of the page, you can see information related to the status of ePSP and new messages. In the “Notes” field, you can see your latest study credits and ongoing enrollments. You can also download a transcript of records as a PDF (not electronically signed). You can switch to a different version of the ePSP from the ”Select version of ISP”. Note that only the draft version can be edited.

 

If you want to know more about some course or module, click the name of the study. If the course has future implementations, you can also see those in the window that opens.

Select the question mark in the top right corner of the ePSP to see the meanings of all the symbols used on the ePSP.

Scheduling

In “Scheduling” tab you can schedule your studies. You can drag the courses in the timeline. Note, that you still need to enroll for the course implementation in order to complete the course.

 

For scheduling, you can choose the default schedule of the curriculum or create a customized schedule by dragging courses from the structure onto different semesters. Once a course has been successfully transferred, you will get a notification. The course’s symbol also turns grey in the list on the left side.

You can change the timing and drag courses to another semesters. A completed course will automatically be placed to the semester where it was completed and its timing cannot be changed. You can remove the scheduling by dragging the course back to the structure. It is also possible to add an absence block to the schedule if you will be absent during a specific semester. The absence block in the scheduling tab is meant for personal schedule planning, and you should always enroll for the academic year according to the university guidelines.

NOTE: Use the scheduling plan available in the Study Guide to assist you in scheduling and checking the upcoming course implementations from the course information. Technically, Peppi does not restrict the scheduling of courses, so please check the information carefully when creating your scheduling plan. For example, not all courses available in the autumn or spring semester are offered during the summer.
