Username and password

All Jamk students and employees have a personal network ID (i.e. username) available. A user ID’s access rights to different services and its validity period are defined based on individual requirements.

The user ID is required on computers at the University of Applied Sciences: when a user logs on to the device, or on the e-mail and other Jamk’s services. With user ID, users can log onto a computer anywhere at Jamk (although there are a few exceptions). Email address is used as a user ID on most Jamk’s services

For staff, the ID is valid in accordance with the employment contract. When the employment contract ends, the ID is locked, and it is deleted after a period of a four months.

For students, the user ID remains valid for the period of study, after which it is automatically locked. The user’s network ID, and mail box, along with their contents, are permanently removed after a period of around four months. If a student registers as absent for a period of time, the user ID can be deactivated for that period.

Usage Policy

In the network user regulations, Usage policy, the rights and responsibilities of users are specified. Every student undertakes to comply with the regulations and take care of matters relating to general data security, for their part, when they accept a student place. If a user is guilty of misuse of the data systems, his/her usage rights may be removed.

FUNET (Finnish University and research NETwork) is the joint telecommunications network of the Finnish colleges and research institutes. Jamk is a FUNET customer organisation, so we are not only affected by Jamk’s own user regulations but also by FUNET’s regulations.
