Students can talk with curator in confidence concerning studying or other life´s problems such as relationships, mental health, money or time issues, depression, alcohol and drug abuse. Curator’s services are available for all students and they are free of charge.

University chaplain

In each town, there is a university chaplain, a Lutheran Pastor available to assist students who are in need of personal guidance or counselling. The university chaplains provide a means of contact with the activities of the Lutheran Church, and answer emotional and religious questions in conversation as well as help in crisis situations. The university chaplain can also assist to find connections to other religious groups in Finland.

Facilities for special needs students

All students make their personal study plans (Finnish abbreviation: HOPS) together with tutor teachers. Special needs are taken into consideration in this process. The buildings on the campuses of Mikkeli UAS are from different decades and therefore some are more passable than others. In some of the buildings there are elevators and toilets that are designed for disabled persons. For special arrangements, please contact the student services or the teacher in advance. All restaurants on campus are easily accessible and they offer meals for students who have special diets.
