For the study year 2008-2009 you will need a sports pass if you wish to participate in sports organized by Histoni in any venue rented by the university.
This change was made due to university sports budget cuts. The sports pass costs 28 EUR / year, or can be bought separately for 17 or 18 EUR for the autumn or spring period. However, you do not need the pass for the first two weeks of trying out the sport. You can start any time and there won't be any strict control. The sports pass can be bought from Opiskelijapalvelut (KE1020) at the Linnanmaa campus.
I encourage you to buy the sports pass so that we may continue with our refreshing sports together in the beginning of September! The benefits of the sports pass have been extended; be sure to check out the university sports programme when it gets published.
