Sisu is a new student information system (SIS) for managing student data and

the lifecycle of university studies from study planning to graduation.

Sisu is developed in collaboration between six Finnish universities, and the

system provider is Funidata Oy. The owners and customers of the company

include the University of Helsinki, Aalto University, the University of

Jyväskylä, LUT University, Hanken School of Economics and Tampere

University.

In JYU, Sisu is implemented in stages, and new features will be introduced

during 2021 and 2022 (eg. study register master, graduation process and

open university processes). The features already in use are also constantly

developed further.

Sisu universities and Funidata are working together with end-users to improve

the overall user experience, however, there are still a few known usability and

accessibility issues with Sisu.

In Sisu students can:
