Paying the fee

The enrollment and the payment of the Student Union membership are done via WebOodi. New students register via OILI Service. More information on the enrollment can be found on the university’s website .  Once you have paid the fee, you have to fetch the new semester sticker for your student card from LYY’s office or LYY’s campus service desk. In case you use Frank’s digital student card, you don’t have to get the sticker. The fee is paid every year. The amounts of the fee for the study year 2021-2022:

Degree & exchange students 

Study year 53,00 euros  
Fall semester 26,00 euros
Spring semester 27,00 euros  

Exchange students can pay the membership fee either directly at the customer service point (at the University’s F-wing or at LYY’s Office at Ahkiomaantie 23 B) or via bank-transfer.

You can pay the membership fee straight to LYY from a non-Finnish bank account account with the following information:
