You must inform the student register or the personal register of a change of address using a personal information change form (Flamma). Students can change their own address through SISU. A change of address does not affect the IT services.
Quick help
Student
If you are a student and your name changes as a result of marriage, for example, you must first inform the student information service. This information is, however, not transferred to the access right system automatically, so you also have to notify Helpdesk (contact information available on the bottom of this side). If you make the notification by e-mail, you must use your helsinki.fi address.
If you want to change your e-mail address, send an electronic notification. The old e-mail address stays in use in parallel with the new one for three months. Your old e-mails do not disappear. There are delays in the systems, so your name change will only be reflected in the registers on the next day, and your new e-mail address will only be operational on the day following its creation. We do not change user accounts because of name changes.
Staff
First, report the changes by using the personal information change form (Flamma). Once the new information has been updated in the university systems, you can request a new e-mail address from Helpdesk.
