Projected date for version installation: 24 January 2022

The short summary below describes the changes introduced in Sisu’s new version from the viewpoint of Aalto University’s operations.
Detailed version information is available in Funidata’s version release notes (in Finnish only). The version introduces improvements and new features to Sisu’s student, teacher and administrative staff interfaces.
Funidata is currently developing Sisu’s functionalities for Open University students as well.

NOTE! For the development of functionalities for the Open University, adding quotas to implementations is possible in Sisu (not to be taken into use in Aalto University yet). Due to this development the value in the field Number of seats (usually 2112) will be shown also for the students in the course brochure (in the Registration tab under Teaching).

Moreover, there will be new Diploma Supplement -templates available in which several language of learning of the degree has been added in the required field. Also due to the harmonization of commendations, new templates have been made.
