The operating grants for 2018 have been granted and the sums are available at /en/associations/services/operating-grants/operating-grants-2018/

Operating grants are paid when all the prerequisites have been fulfilled. The payment order regarding the grants will be sent to most associations next week. The payment will be visible on the account submitted to the TAHLO system by the end of June.

If an association has discrepancies or things missing from their profiles on the AYY website, they will be notified in early June. The profile must be completed before the grants are paid, according to the instructions submitted when the applications opened. Organizations that have been granted additional time for certain appendices will not be specifically reminded about submitting them. These organizations must submit the appendices in accordance with the instructions they have received when the additional time was granted in order to receive the grant.

Associations that have not yet filed an association notice for 2018 must do so between the 6th of June, 12:00 noon, and 29th of June, 12:00 noon, at https://tahlo.ayy.fi/. It is no longer possible to apply for operating grants this year. If the association fails to fill an association notice in the allocated time for the second year in a row, the association can be removed from the Student Union’s list of associations.

Additional instructions for association notices: /en/blog/2018/02/28/submissions-for-association-notices-and-operating-grant-applications/

 

2. Study credits for active students

Hello, active students!

Have you worked actively in the Aalto University Student Union (in a section, for example), in an association operating within AYY (as a board member or officer), or in the University as a student representative in administration in 2017? You can get study credits for it.

The course (3 credits) includes writing a reflection report regarding what you have learned in the task and participation in a peer learning seminar.

Click the link to see course details: https://mycourses.aalto.fi/course/view.php?id=19730

AYY has consistently emphasized the importance of organizational activity for the development of individual know-how, and that is why we are happy that the Aalto University has decided to award study credits for students’ work in associations. For more information, please contact AYY’s education policy expert, Minna Mäkitalo, who has contributed to the format of the course: minna.makitalo (a) ayy.fi.

 

3. Share your ideas on AYY’s advocacy policies

In what societal questions should Aalto people be especially active in? How should AYY react to subsistence, equality and sustainable development?

The Aalto University Student Union is updating its policy papers this year. At the same time, the current policy papers will be combined into a single document. The idea is to create a document that ensures that AYY’s advocacy work is transparent and in line with the members’ opinions.

By taking the survey, you can bring new issues and ideas to the policy paper preparation work: https://lomake.ayy.fi/vaikuttaminen/share-your-ideas-on-ayys-advocacy-policies/

The survey is open until July 31st.

 

4. Sub-event application period for the Otaniemi Night of Arts on the 6th of October is now open
The Otaniemi Night of Arts will be held for the first time on Saturday, the 6th of October. It is a cross-artistic, free campus festival, where all willing associations within AYY can take part in making the creative program.

The Otaniemi Night of Arts consists of several sub-events organized by students, and the application period for the sub-events is now open. Your event can be pretty much anything, as long as it is related to art in some way: an exhibition, a live music night, a dance workshop or even poetry karaoke. Only imagination and the laws of physics are the limit!

AYY provides the use of facilities for event organizers for free. You can also receive financial support for your event through AYY and the TTE Fund.

A few notes about making reservations:

  • TILA can be found at https://tila.ayy.fi/. Users must log in to the system with their Aalto University IT username, using the same logging system as when using Into, for example. The easiest way to get started is to read the instructions behind the Instructions/Help link, found in the menu bar at the top of the page.
  • During advance booking, facilities are reserved under the name of the association. The activation key has been sent to the email address provided by the association (usually, this is the mailing list address of the association board) already in the spring, so the person who has handled the facility bookings of the association this year may distribute representation rights through TILA if necessary.
  • If you receive representation rights to a group, the message subject will be “TILA: Activation key for group GROUP NAME”. After this, the persons who have received the invitation can distribute representation rights to others through TILA.
  • Enter the name of the event in the reservation. If there is no name, the event may be deleted if there are several reservations for the same date at later stages of the booking session.
  • Please note that AYY’s internal reservations are mainly permanent.
  • Any reservations for anniversaries and anniversary herring brunches made by special status associations take priority over reservations made by other associations. Reservations made by special status associations will be confirmed when the corresponding reservation period ends. Overlapping reservations made by special status associations will be clarified in the first booking session.Special status associations do not have to come to defend their reservations to the second booking session.
  • Overlapping bookings can only be made within the reservation periods. After the end of the reservation period, associations can edit, delete or add new reservations that do not overlap with other reservations. Any duplicate reservations can be cancelled by using your own username at the advance booking session, so please bring your laptop in order to make the event run smoothly.
  • When making reservations for long periods of time, please bear in mind that you MUST come to the associations’ advance booking session to give grounds for the bookings made.  If needed, AYY will also contact the associations in advance.
  • Only reserve a facility for the time when you really need it. If possible, please avoid reservations in Smökki at the following times: PO has rehearsals at Smökki every Monday from 18:00 to 21:00, and RWBK has rehearsals at Smökki every Tuesday between 17:00 and 22:00. Please avoid reserving Smökki for sitsi parties on Mondays & Tuesdays.
  • The prices for internal operators and associations will stay the same as during the previous booking period. The price list can be found here: ayy.fi/en/price-list

Please note! There are some exceptions due to renovations:

  • Gorsu, Living Room, Multi-facility Hall and Tatami Hall cannot be booked starting from the 13th of August 2018.
  • OK20 upstairs cannot be booked starting from the 30th of November 2018.
  • The Rooftop Sauna, Game Room, Sitsi Kitchen and Takka Cabinet cannot be booked starting from the 10th of December 2018.

5. The processing of operating grants has been delayed
The processing of associations’ operating grant applications has been delayed. We aim to score the applications in May, and the information on the grant decisions will be sent to associations as soon as possible. Operating grants can be paid once all the terms of the grant have been fulfilled and any missing appendices have been sent to jarjestoasiat(a)ayy.fi.

After the grants have been paid, post-announcement opens for associations that have not yet submitted their association notice. Associations can no longer apply for operating grants at this point. If an association fails to submit an association notice in the allocated time for the second year in a row, the association can be removed from the Student Union’s association register. The schedule for the post-announcement will be announced later in the association newsletter.

2. Advance booking of AYY’s one-time rental facilities starts on the 4th of May 2018

The advance booking of AYY’s one-time rental facilities for associations starts on Thursday, the 4th of May 2018. Advance bookings are organized by using AYY’s own booking system TILA.

You can make advance bookings for the period Mon, 13th of August 2018–Sun, 6th of January 2019.

The schedule for facility reservations in the system is as follows:

  1. AYY’s internal operators, reservation period 19th April-4th May 2018.
    The reservation period ends on 4th May 2018 at 12:00 noon.
  2. Special status associations 4th May-17th May 2018.
    The reservation period starts on Fri, 4th May at 14:00 and ends on Thu, 17th May at 12:00 noon.
    The booking session will be held in Otaniemi on Thu, 17th May 2018 from 16:30 onwards (the venue will be confirmed later).
  3. Other associations in the 1st register 18th May-24th May 2018.
    The reservation period starts on Fri, 18th May at 12:00 noon and ends on Thu, 24th May 2018 at 12:00 noon.
    The booking session will be held in Otaniemi on Thu, 24th May 2018 from 16:30 onwards (the venue will be confirmed later).

A few notes about making reservations:

  • TILA can be found at https://tila.ayy.fi/. Users must log in to the system with their Aalto University IT username, using the same logging system as when using Into, for example. The easiest way to get started is to read the instructions behind the Instructions/Help link, found in the menu bar at the top of the page.
  • During advance booking, facilities are reserved under the name of the association. The activation key has been sent to the email address provided by the association (usually, this is the mailing list address of the association board) already in the spring, so the person who has handled the facility bookings of the association this year may distribute representation rights through TILA if necessary.
  • If you receive representation rights to a group, the message subject will be “TILA: Activation key for group GROUP NAME”. After this, the persons who have received the invitation can distribute representation rights to others through TILA.
  • Enter the name of the event in the reservation. If there is no name, the event may be deleted if there are several reservations for the same date at later stages of the booking session.
  • Please note that AYY’s internal reservations are mainly permanent.
  • Any reservations for anniversaries and anniversary herring brunches made by special status associations take priority over reservations made by other associations. Reservations made by special status associations will be confirmed when the corresponding reservation period ends. Overlapping reservations made by special status associations will be clarified in the first booking session.Special status associations do not have to come to defend their reservations to the second booking session.
  • Overlapping bookings can only be made within the reservation periods. After the end of the reservation period, associations can edit, delete or add new reservations that do not overlap with other reservations. Any duplicate reservations can be cancelled by using your own username at the advance booking session, so please bring your laptop in order to make the event run smoothly.
  • When making reservations for long periods of time, please bear in mind that you MUST come to the associations’ advance booking session to give grounds for the bookings made.  If needed, AYY will also contact the associations in advance.
  • Only reserve a facility for the time when you really need it. If possible, please avoid reservations in Smökki at the following times: PO has rehearsals at Smökki every Monday from 18:00 to 21:00, and RWBK has rehearsals at Smökki every Tuesday between 17:00 and 22:00. Please avoid reserving Smökki for sitsi parties on Mondays & Tuesdays.
  • The prices for internal operators and associations will stay the same as during the previous booking period. The price list can be found here: ayy.fi/en/price-list

Please note! There are some exceptions due to renovations:

  • Gorsu, Living Room, Multi-facility Hall and Tatami Hall cannot be booked starting from the 13th of August 2018.
  • OK20 upstairs cannot be booked starting from the 30th of November 2018.
