The new name of Diak’s learning platform, Diakle, is officially in use as of 11 January 2021.

From 1 January 2021 onwards, all degree students in higher education, including Diak’s students, will be entitled to use Finnish Student Health Service’s (FSHS), services.

“Diakle” has been selected as the new name of Diak’s learning platform. The jury selected the new name among around 250 entries. The new name is taken officially into use on 11th of January 2021. 

Diak’s task force on corona situation has decided that teaching continues mostly online until the end of February 2021. The task force continues to follow the development of the corona situation and to monitor national as well as regional alignments closely. It will adjust the guidelines when needed.

The corona situation has gotten worse especially in the capital region. A large amount of new COVID-19 cases can be tracked to situations that feel familiar and safe. 

Diak wants to ensure the safety of all students, because also students at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 might participate the exam. Therefore, masks are worn in general exams as of 1st October. We also remind students and staff on acting in a responsible manner at campuses.

The autumn semester has started in an exceptional manner at Diak campuses. In the autumn semester there will be more distance learning than normally. Some courses are organised as contact teaching.

General exam retakes will be organised on campuses. Registration for the exams will be done by filling in the electronic registration form.
