Degree students of the University of Vaasa, VAMK and Novia can purchase a key with which they can access Tritonia’s facilities outside opening hours.
Students of the University of Vaasa can use the key also at the Helsinki campus (Mikonkatu 15 A, 3rd floor). NB! The hours of use differ from the library’s opening hours.
How to get a key
You can order the access key for 25 € from the University of Vaasa online shop where you authenticate yourself with your HAKA credentials. (If you have problems with the online shop, contact viestinta@uwasa.fi.) After ordering, you can collect the key at the custodians’ info desk in the library the next working day after 12 o’clock. The info desk is open on weekdays 9-16. Bring a photo ID and the order number of the purchase.
If you use an email address other than your university email for authentication or have forwarded your student email to a personal email account, mention this when picking up the key. A student email address (student ID) is required to obtain or return the key.
If you have previously owned an access key but have returned it and want to buy it again, you cannot add the key to the online store shopping cart. The key purchase is a one-time event, and we must manually restore the option to buy a new key to your customer details. In this case, please contact the Tritonia custodians at tritonia.custodians@uwasa.fi.
The key’s access rights are valid as long as you are a registered student in your university. If your studies continue, for example, after a break or in another university, inform the custodians. We send periodically messages to your student email. If the address is not in use, we will withdraw the access rights.
If you wish to return your key, we will refund the purchase price (€25). The refund will be processed within approximately one month after you have returned the key to the library custodians. If you purchased the key within the past year, the refund will be issued via Paytrail to the payment method you used (excluding mobile payments). Otherwise, provide your bank account number (IBAN) when returning the key.
How to use the key
You can access the library facilities with the key between 6-24. You have to leave the premises by midnight at the latest. Enter the library when it is closed through the entrance door (L4) facing the city centre. Open the door by using the reader, not the lock.
If you want to stay in the library after the closing time, you have to enter the building again with the key through door L4. In the evenings and at night, a security guard checks that persons inside the library have an access key and a student card.
The key is personal: do not under any circumstances give it to someone or let anyone in the library. You are personally responsible for the use of your key. If you break these rules or cause any disturbance, we will withdraw the rights to use the key.
Students of the Open University of the University of Vaasa and Open UAS of Novia and VAMK are not eligible to receive an access key.
If you have any questions about the access key, please contact the custodians at tritonia.custodians@uwasa.fi.
