Passwords
SAMK identification: username and password
The SAMK identification for students is generated by student administration system Winha. The username for students’ SAMK identification is their student number.
The terms of use are that the user engages to follow certain guidelines and rules. The SAMK identification is personal and it mustn’t be given to others. The user is responsible for the use of his/her username/identification. The SAMK identification is granted by signing a commitment. When the signed commitmentment is handed in, the student needs to prove his/her identity with an official ID (for exapmle passport). Fill in a form here.
The first password should always be changed during the first entry in Satakunta University of Applied Sciences facilities or before logging on for the first time to services outside the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences.
