Microsoft 365 / Use of computer labs
The use of digital technology is an essential part of studying
Information systems are designed to facilitate work, and therefore it is important that the systems operate flawlessly and are secure. Every internet user is responsible for their own actions while using the internet, even though the network or system administrators may impose restrictions on the use of their own network.
Rules, principles and problematic situations
Students will become familiar with the specific usage rules and practices of Riveria’s network and information systems at the beginning of their studies with the guidance of their personal trainer and other teachers. The rules must be accepted during the Microsoft login process. In case of issues, students should contact Eduhelppari or their teacher, through whom a malfunction ticket can be made to Riveria’s Helpdesk if necessary. Therefore, students do not directly contact Riveria’s Helpdesk themselves.

Usernames and passwords
- Once you have accepted your study place, you will receive an email approximately one month before the start of your studies containing your Riveria email address, a temporary password, and instructions for logging into Wilma and the network.
- Your Riveria email address serves as your username for all Riveria online services (e.g., workstation login, Wilma, Microsoft 365, Opi, Workseed, Expense).
- If you haven’t entered your personal identification number into Wilma, your personal coach will assist you with the initial login process.
First network login

- Log in using your Riveria email address ending in @edu.riveria.fi and the default password that has been sent to your personal email address.
- Change the default password by entering it in the “Current Password (Nykyinen salasana)” field, create a new password, and confirm it.
- At the same time, add the security information for two-factor authentication, which will be requested during login, and accept the usage rules for Riveria’s network and information systems! (You can find a visual guide at the website https://salasana.riveria.fi/changingpassword.pdf)

Microsoft 365

- Email and Calendar
- 1000 GB mailbox
- Shared address book for students and staff
- OneDrive cloud storage
- 1000 GB storage space
- File and folder sharing with other users

- The latest full Microsoft Office suite for up to 5 personal workstations during your studies
Use of computer labs
Logging into Riveria computers is done using your email address.
Any faults or misuse should be reported immediately to a teacher or other staff member for issue resolution and clarification of responsibility.
It’s advisable not to save important files on the institution’s workstations, as they may be lost during maintenance or workstation changes. Files that are saved should at least be backed up to personal storage, such as the OneDrive service.
In computer labs, LanSchool software is used as a tool for teaching and guidance. Teachers can manage students’ activities from their own computers and see the software students have open.
To ensure privacy, students should avoid handling personal information during class sessions.
