Weboodi
WebOodi is the user interface for LUT students through which they register for exams, courses, midterms and the academic year, and also monitor the records on the courses they complete. In WebOodi you can also request that an unofficial transcript of records be sent to you directly via email.
The WebOodi web page is weboodi.lut.fi, and the system can also be accessed directly through the Uni portal. New students will receive instruction on the use of WebOodi during orientation. You should primarily register through WebOodi. If for some reason you cannot do so, you may also register by sending an e-mail to the Student Affairs Office, opinto(at)lut.fi, by the registration deadline. If necessary, you may also telephone or visit the Student Affairs Office during its opening hours.
Students themselves are responsible for updating their personal information in the student register, so that the university staff will be able to contact when needed. You should update the information (e.g. address, e-mail and telephone) in WebOodi. If you cannot access WebOodi, you should give the information directly to the Student Affairs Office.
Webropol
Webropol feedback system is in use at LUT. LUT students can use this electronic tool in order to collect information or feedback e.g. for their study assignments and theses or even for the leisure activities of student union or guilds.
Webropol can be accessed using your LUT user name and password in webropol.lut.fi . When creating the questionnaire, please save it in the right folder, not in the main folder. Webropol main users (Suvi Tiainen, Riikka Hämäläinen, Annikka Nurkka) can assist you in problems, also helpdesk@webropol.com is available for service support.
Moodle
Moodle is the virtual learning environment for LUT, which is used to support teaching. It enables interactive teaching. It can be accessed using your LUT user name and password. More information on Moodle and help in using it can be found in the LUT Moodle student guide.
