One of our biggest tasks is the promotion of interests!

Dumppi promotes their members interests by for example:

• Developing tuition along with the faculty
• Meeting regularly with the faculty's staff and student representatives in administration
• Representing in different work groups regarding development of teaching as well as other matters
• Gathering feedback about courses and teaching from students, which is taken forwards to the course leader and all the way to the accountable teacher

Studying involves a lot of self-help and responsibilities, but also the student's rights, which every student should stick to!

Student rights:

• Right to a healthy learning and living environment
• Right to pursue studies flexibly
• Right to a rest day and sick leave
• Right to get study counselling
• Right to study without harassment and discrimination
• Right to reasonable livelihood in different life situations
• Right to know in advance a course’s objectives and modes of completion
• Right to get a justified assessment of a study performance
• Right to receive study performance assessments without undue delay
• Right to retake an exam
• Right to municipal health services
• Right to equal treatment and individual special arrangements​

Check out and read what more about each right means on JYY's website!

If one of your student rights does not materialize or you have other challenges with your studies/course/teacher, you can contact Dumppi's kopo, i.e. the academic affairs representative, whose contact details can be found at the bottom of the page.
