Course registration

Registration for courses should generally be completed no later than seven days before the course begins. Registrations for available spots are accepted throughout the academic year.

You can register electronically via the institute’s online service, by phone, or in person at the office. Registration is not possible via email, text message, or voicemail.

Participants are admitted to courses in the order of registration. Waitlisted participants will receive a personal notification if a spot becomes available. Participants are informed via text message, email, or phone about changes to individual courses and receive an email reminder before the course starts.

When registering, look up the course code(s) and have the following information ready:

• Name
• Social security number
• Municipality of residence
• Address
• Phone number
• Email address
• Educational background (basic / secondary / higher education)
• Main activity (employed / unemployed / student / retired / other)

If registering someone else, provide that person’s personal details. If you do not have a social security number, register by phone through the office.

If you wish to cancel your registration, do so at least 7 days before the course starts. Contact the office, preferably by email at kansalaisopisto@porvoo.fi. You can also cancel online using the code you received when registering. It is not sufficient to inform the teacher alone.

• Borgå Civic Institute collects students’ personal data during registration in a digital course management system.
• This data is used for course administration, billing, and recording paid course fees.
• A data protection description of the registry has been prepared.
