3. Changes in the use of TAMK’s main campus’ post room
Use of the post room in Teiskontie-side lobby will change from 21 February 2022. The lockers will be reorganised. There will be no personal lockers anymore and the lockers will be alphabetised by school and unit. The change makes the locker use more effective and frees room for posting and related equipment.
The existing student clubs’ and associations’ lockers will remain in the room and current key fits in the locker. Access to the post room takes place with the key card. The persons in charge of the student clubs will have access right to the room.
Leave your post to the letterbox outside the post room. Assignments and students’ other post to teachers or service units are left to the letterbox outside the post room and caretakers will distribute them to recipients’ lockers twice a day. All internal and external post can be left to the letterbox. If you are mailing something to teachers or school stuff members remember to write down their name and unit.
When you bring your external post by 14.00, it will be collected on the same day. If you want to leave a letter or parcel to be collected by a student or a non-staff member, please take it to the Kuntokatu-side info. The info is open on Mon-Fri at 8.00-16.00.

7. OP: Thinking about opening equity savings account?
You can open an equity savings account if you are a customer of an OP cooperative bank. With the equity savings account, you can invest, tax-free, in listed shares of Finnish companies: no tax is levied on sales and dividends within the account. This enables you to benefit from the compound interest effect and provides the best opportunity for good returns.
Equity savings account best suits investors with a long-term horizon, who occasionally update their portfolio contents and re-invest income and dividends accrued.
