Frequently asked questions
How can I use the Slice.fi application?
If you are not yet a member of Student Union Kaakko and do not have a student card, please order the card HERE. Once your card order is accepted, you will receive the login codes for Slice app in your email. If you do not receive your login codes, you can get them through a reset. Please see the instructions for the reset in another question on this page.

How can I reset my account to sign in to Slice.fi-app?
You can reset your account from » this link.
Enter your email address associated with your Slice ID in the box and click “reset”. In a moment, you will receive a link to reset your account and a new password will be emailed to you. The link is valid for at least 24 hours.
If the reset link or new account does not arrive within an hour, be sure to check your spam folder and contact info(at)slice.fi if necessary. Please note that clicking on the link will end the pre-login process, as the same ID can only be valid on one device at a time.
