FSHS services are available to you even after 1 Aug 2025, once you have registered as present for the autumn semester at your higher education institution. Before contacting us, please note that enrollment information will be transferred to FSHS from higher education institutions with a delay of approximately 1–3 days.
For example using the Self online service and accessing remote appointments require that you are registered as an attending student and the information regarding your enrollment has been transferred to FSHS. Please try logging into the Self online service well in advance before the remote appointment. If you are unable to log in, please contact us by phone so that your appointment can be rescheduled.
Update your contact details
Please make sure that your contact details are up-to-date in the Self online service, as the information is not automatically updated from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency or from other sources. Keeping your contact information current makes it much easier to use our services.
Cancel appointments reserved for the autumn semester if you do not continue your studies
Please cancel any appointments reserved for the autumn semester if you will not continue your studies during the autumn semester and your right to use FSHS services ends with the conclusion of the spring semester on 31 July 2025. Appointments will not be automatically canceled, so you must take care of the cancellation yourself to avoid a fee for unattended appointments.

Pay the healthcare fee to Kela
Please also remember that the students in higher education should pay the healthcare fee to Kela for both the autumn and spring semesters unprompted (please note that some international students have been given different instructions regarding the healthcare fee).
Follow Kela’s website for the due dates and more detailed payment instructions for the autumn semester. The fee can be paid in OmaKela.
All questions about the healthcare fee should be addressed directly to Kela, which is responsible for collecting the healthcare fee.
