As a JOO-student at ÅAU you can activate your username and password first when you have gotten a message from the student register that your JOO study right has been registered. A message from the application system about the approval of your JOO-application does not mean that your username can be activated.
If you previously have had a JOO study right and your username does not work, please make sure that your JOO study right still has study time available and that you are enrolled as present at ÅAU. You can contact the Student Service desk on studinfo@abo.fi for help with enrollment and questions about your study time.
Your username is active as long as you are enrolled as either present or absent for the academic year. The username is deactivated for all students that are not enrolled, the deactivation takes place on 1 October and 1 February each academic year.
If your username is deactivated and you get enrolled again, your username will be reactivated automatically a couple of days after your enrollment is registered. You will need to change your password in Selfservice before you can use your username again.
If you cannot log in to Selfservice with Finnish bank codes, an electronic ID card or a mobile certificate or you want to keep your previous password, please be in contact with helpdesk@abo.fi.
If you have graduated and wish to keep your ÅAU email address active, contact helpdesk@abo.fi
