1 – Situation about electronic keys on 21st of October


Keys that are given from Lukema and bookshop KUTOP to use at the Opistotie

The number of keys that we share from Lukema (ISYY campus office) and bookshop KUTOP (Opistotie) is very low. If you have the key and you haven’t paid for the SYKETTÄ sticker for this autumn, please return the key to one of our selling point as soon as possible. You have signed a commitment when you have received the key. In that commitment we ask you to return the key within 30 days  after the right to use the key has ended. This autumn the right has ended in 14.9.2015. If you don’t return the key until 23.10.2015, we charge you 50 euros payment.

Other keys that we add the right to use the Opistotie sports hall

We are sorry that there has been a delay activating the electronic keys. In this autumn we have had extra number of keys and extra busy persons behind the keys.

Every key that we have been informed until this day (21.10.) has been sent to be activated. If your key doesn’t work until 26.10., please contact Saara: saara.hanhela@savonia.fi.
