Study in University has certain rules and regulations. For a successful process, student needs to know, understand and follow these rules and regulations. For example academic calendar and important dates etc.
Please check, add or update, if needed, your contact data in Study Information System (SIS). SIS needs to include functioning and currently used e-mail address, Estonian mobile phone number and home phone number and address in Estonia. It is student's responsibility to guarantee that personal contact data is always updated throughout studies at the University of Tartu. It is for your benefit to ensure that in the case of need, the university can contact you immediately.
If you need proof of enrolment at UT (for example for the employer), it can be requested from the respective dean’s office, institute, or college. Contact details are HERE.

An email account of the University of Tartu and the address in the form name.surname[at]ut.ee have been created for all the students. This is official email of the University of Tartu and should be used when communicating with University (lecturers etc). You can access your email account with most email applications (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) as well with the web interface (kiri.ut.ee).
This aims to ensure that all study-related information reaches all students smoothly and that all students can use the full functionality of the university’s information systems and Microsoft Office 365 solutions, including collaboration calendars, group work, notifications from Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.
Problems with Moodle links
In some courses, there are errors in the links between the course and Moodle, which affect the updating of the course information in Moodle and the automatic transfer of learners to the course. As a result, learners who have registered for the course later may not be automatically added to the course.
Therefore, we ask all learners to log in to Moodle and check that they have access to all the required Moodle courses. If you do not have access to a required course, contact the teaching staff of the corresponding course. You can find the contact details of the teaching staff members on the university website.
Information about registration for courses is here and the guidelines for course registration are given here. SIS planner is a helpful tool for drawing up your autumn semester’s timetable, planner helps to register for all selected courses at once. The guidelines for using planner are given here.
