RIPA will gradually replace the CampusOnline portal and enable smoother cross-institutional studies and data transfer between higher education institutions.
At the moment, some universities of applied sciences have already started taken advantage of RIPA. Schedule for the introduction of RIPA is specific to each UAS, for further information please visit your own university’s intranet or contact your study office. Currently during this transition phase, each course description in the CampusOnline portal states if students from certain universities of applied sciences already can enroll to the course in question through their own enrolment system. Before enrolment, please check the course information for the correct enrolment method. Read more: https://campusonline.fi/en/ripa-enables-smoother-cross-institutional-studies/
