Cross-study service (RIPA)

Haaga-Helia students

Always get approval for RIPA-studies from your academic advisor before enrolling. If you are a Haaga-Helia student, check the instructions for cross-study enrollments in Peppi. 
 

Students from other universities

You enrol for Haaga-Helia implementations primarily in your home university’s study information system (Peppi/Pakki) via the cross-study service. When browsing through the cross-study offerings, you will only see the courses you are eligible to enrol for. Please note that you can only register for courses at the level of your degree. 

The enrollment period for implementations is course specific. You can check the enrollment period for the desired course in Peppi/Pakki. You will also find the course description, teaching methods, and any prerequisite requirements in the course information. 

Discuss the suitability of the cross-study studies for your degree with your guidance counsellor before enrolling. Not all courses are automatically included in your degree. 

When enrolling for Haaga-Helia´s studies via the cross-study service, note that you must enrol for each implementation separately in your home university’s Peppi/Pakki. Adding the course to your personal study plan (PSP) is not enough; you must also enrol on the Enrolments -tab. 

The teacher of the course can reject an enrollment only during the first two weeks after the start of the course. Students are not removed from the course at any stage. Instead of removing a student, their enrollment (status: enrolled / enrollment accepted) can be rejected during the first two weeks after the start of the course. If a student indicates after the two-week deadline that they will discontinue the course, their enrollment will not be rejected. Instead, the teacher will assess the student’s performance on the course up to that point.

Please familiarise yourself with the instructions well in advance before your studies begin. You wil get instructions also via email. Please save those instructions for later. 

In case you encounter any issues, please contact Haaga-Helia’s IT services at [email protected] or by calling 0800 97750.
