Apply as a Student Representative to the PEPPI Data Management System Implementation Working Groups!

The University of Eastern Finland will switch to the PEPPI information management system in November 2021. At the same time, UEF is removing other operating systems such as WebOodi. The change is large at the university level and is therefore carefully prepared. The transition will be piloted during the year 2021, which is the cause UEF will set up its own steering group and working group for the project to prepare for practical implementation.

ISYY is applying for one student representative to the university-wide PEPPI steering group and about ten student members to the university's PEPPI working group. At least two student members from each faculty are invited to the working group.

The university's PEPPI working group meets 1-2 times a month. The working group will get acquainted with and take a position on e.g. to the following:

  • Student PEPPI communication design
  • Student desk at PEPPI
  • Services to be connected to PEPPI (eg course feedback system, student space reservations, reading schedules)
  • Hhow PEPPI works
  • Instructions
  • Autumn 2021 operating instructions
  • Testing student functions

No previous experience in student representation positions or positions of trust are required. Comprehensive and diverse student representation in working groups is important to make the implementation of the system as smooth as possible and the system student-friendly.

Applications must be sent via the application form till 27th of November 2020 by 12.00. ISYY's Board of Directors decides on the persons to be elected at its meeting.
