Uniarts user ID activation and validation
How to get a Uniarts user ID and e-mail, how long the user ID is valid and how to change your password.
Your user ID will be generated automatically after your right to study has been registered and has come into effect. This happens either on 1 August or 1 January.
Receiving your user ID
Register with your Finnish online banking identification. International students will receive their user IDs in the beginning of studies from student services.
Users must come up with a password upon authentication. Create a new password that you do not already use elsewhere. You should read the terms of use already before logging in to the identification service, because authorisation requires that you are aware of and follow the terms of use. The terms of use will be read when you log in to the identification service for the first time.
Uniarts ID is used to login to all our IT-services, computers, webmail, Teams, Peppi or any other university’s service.
How to log in to email and platforms
Login requires a Uniarts ID, which consists of three letters and five numbers (abc12345).
You will find out what your personal ID is after you have activated your user account.
Logging in also requires multi-factor authentication. See, how to set up multi-factor authentication.

For other students, the user ID expires two months after the end of study right.
I was a student two years ago, can I still access my old files?
The university deletes the user’s electronic mailbox, OneDrive and home directory and all of their content no earlier than six months and no later than nine months after the user authorisation expires.
