Information for new students
Choose the education you have enrolled on:
You will receive an email in the end of July 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.
Logging in to HAMK services is done by either using short form of username or long form of username. For most of the services the short form of username is used. In practice the long form of username is used only when logged in to HAMK website, when identified to HAMKApp (mobile application) or when services by Microsoft are used. Long username is formed by adding @student.hamk.fi to the end of your short form username.
Short username is used in following HAMK services: 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), HAMK App and Google’s services.
