Basic User Account (BUA)

BUA is your necessary key which gives access to the student services and university email that are used during your stay here. In order to use your basic user account, you must be enrolled as present at the university.

How to get BUA, if you do not already have it?

When you register, you get a Basic User Account (BUA) and activation instructions from the Registrar's Office. Please activate your BUA promptly.

How to manage your BUA?

The information on your user account can be accessed in a service called NettiKatti.

University email (firstname.lastname@uta.fi)

The university email address is your official mail address where you receive information related to studies, so please use it.

It is possible to redirect this mail to another address in NettiKatti. When contacting teachers or staff, please use your official address to ensure that your mail is not blocked by spam filters and that the recipient knows who you are.

Access to Computer Facilities

Your student ID card will be activated to function as an electronic key to students’ computer facilities upon collection from the Student Union. For the first few weeks you can get a separate key card. They are available for a deposit of EUR 20 in cash from the Customer Service at the Computer Centre. The deposit will be refunded to your bank account once the key card has been returned to the Computer Centre.

Please note that the student ID card of postgraduate students (=Doctoral and Licentiate) and researchers does not have this key function, so they must always obtain a separate key card from the Computer Centre.

The basic web tools for studies are integrated into service called NettiOpsu. In NettiOpsu, you can:

• update your contact information
• see the information on your enrolments and the time used to complete your studies 
• view your academic transcript
