2. Registration, sanction system and methods of payment
All services must be reserved through the Enkora reservation system, where the customer registers before using the services. You must check-in for the services on site before the start of the reservation (excluding online classes). Check-in is done by stamping the customer card on the touch screen of the check-in device or by using Enkora’s free OnTheMove mobile application (available in Google Play store and App Store) from your own customer account. The check-in through mobile application has a distance limiter, so the check-in can only be done when physically close by the reserved location. If the check-in is not performed for the reserved shift, this causes the customer to receive a notice in the reservation system. The third notice received, which means that three reservations have been left unstamped, causes a 7-day reservation block on the customer account in the reservation system.
Sport Passes and other services are sold at the Student Union’s service points or at the Student Union web shop. It may be possible to use sports and culture vouchers for personal payments. Check the matter at the Student Union’s service desk.

Students of Arcada, Haaga-Helia and Metropolia get the sport pass free of charge when they join the Student Union of the University. The students of Laurea, Humak and Diak can purchase the Sport Pass with a member price, as it is not automatically included in their student union membership. It is possible to buy the sport pass or gym pass without the Student Union membership.The Sport Pass Card is free of extra charge for new users. If the card is lost, the charge for a new card is 5 €.
