You will receive an email once your student ID has been created. This ID gives you access to all HAMK’s student systems. You may activate your ID at patu.hamk.fi with Finnish banking codes, a mobile ID or an ID card. If you don’t have a Finnish mobile ID, ID card or banking codes, you may activate the ID through self-service (without strong identification).
For more information and in case of an error, please contact ServiceDesk.
NOTE: you can login to ServiceDesk if you already have HAMK student ID. If you don’t have HAMK student ID, please send email, that creates a ticket automatically: it@hamk.fi

Long username is typed in form firstname123@student.hamk.fi or uname@hamk.fi
Short username is used in following HAMK services: Tuudo, Learn (+ old Moodle), Zoom, Kaltura, Exam, Patu, Pakki/Peppi, Finna, Webropol, ServiceDesk, MOT dictionary, VDI Virtual Desktop and MyFiles.
Long username is used in: Teams, Outlook, OneNote, OneDrive, Yammer and other Office apps, hamk.fi (staff only) and Google’s services.
