Here you can find instructions how to activate your username to Karelia UAS network and detailed information. Please, read carefully the instructions below.
Students at Karelia University of Applied Sciences will receive a username (Karelia ID) for the duration of their right to study. The username is automatically generated based on the information in the student management system, and it will be ready to use by beginning of August 2024. You will receive notification to your email, when the username is available.
Register your username and start using a multi-factor authentication. Most of Karelia’s electronic services require a multi-factor authentication.
Register your username at https://id.karelia.fi
- Click “Register” and identify with a Finnish bank ID or a mobile ID.
- Read the user rules (https://www.karelia.fi/it-saannot).
- Write down your 7 number username.
- Change the password (read the password requirements).
Note! If you cannot identify with a Finnish bank ID or a mobile ID, set up a meeting with Helpdesk: [email protected].
Note! If you forget your username or password, you can always visit this site to check your username and to reset your password.
Note! If you get an error message saying that you do not have rights to a Karelia UAS ID, try again the next day. Your username is generated the day after your information is entered into the system. Contact student services if you continue to get the same error message. The student services will check your right to study.
