This includes the following instructions:
1. The guardian has a child in basic education in Hämeenlinna but no Wilma account yet
2. The guardian has a child in basic education and an existing Wilma account for another child
3. Enrolling to first grade

1) The guardian has a child in basic education in Hämeenlinna but no Wilma account yet

Step 1: Accessing Wilma

Go to the Internet address provided by the school. The format of the address should be: https://hameenlinna.inschool.fi/connect.

Step 2: Confirmation email

Fill in the email address you want to use when accessing Wilma. The email address will be your username. Click on Send message. If you don't receive a confirmation email, please check the junk mail folder. If the message cannot be found there either, please contact the school.

When the confirmation arrives, click on the link in the message or copy the link and paste it into your browser. Then click next.

Step 3: Choosing the correct school

If Wilma does not request to choose a school or to identify yourself, please go to step 4.

If Wilma requests to choose a school, please select ‘x koulutulokkaat’ (this means school entry). After that Wilma will ask for your identification. Please identify yourself.

Step 4: Using a key code or credentials

If you do not have a key code, please choose from 'I have...' the option 'guardian data available through the Digital and Population Data Services Agency'. Then follow through all steps. If you have not identified yourself yet, here you will have to do it.

If you are not the official guardian and your guardian data will not be available through the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, you must order a key code from [email protected]

You will receive instructions on how to log in upon receiving the key code.

Step 5: Continue to follow the guidance from Wilma

Wilma will guide you through the process of creating a username and a password.

 2) The guardian has a child in basic education and an existing Wilma account for another child

Step 1: Accessing Wilma

Log in to Wilma. Select User rights in the upper right corner. After clicking the link, you see a list of your existing roles. Contact the school if the list is incomplete.

Click on the link 'Add role'.

Step 2: Using a key code

Normally you can connect a new pupil to your Wilma account with your credentials:

• Please choose from 'I have...' the option 'guardian information available from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency'. Then follow through all steps. If you have not identified yourself yet, here you will have to do it.

In some cases, you may need a key code:

• If you are not the official guardian and your guardian data will not be available through the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, you must order a key code from [email protected]
• You will receive instructions on how to log in upon receiving the key code.

Step 3: Continue to follow the guidance from Wilma

Wilma will guide you through the process of creating a username and a password.

After the process is completed, whenever you log in to Wilma, you will have access to all your children’s affairs with the same user ID.

3) Enrolling to first grade

• Open your browser and log into Wilma. Do not use the mobile app!
