Information from the course leader
Varmt välkommen till Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet och kursen Företagsekonomi och livsmedelskedjan!
Här kommer allmän information om studentkonto, registrering på kurs, samt annan praktisk information:
Studentkonto
Studentkonto behövs för att komma åt bl.a. Ladok, Canvas och mejl. För information om hur du skapar ett studentkonto, se här: https://student.slu.se/studieservice/it-stod1/support/ny-student-kom-igang/.
Registrering på kurs
Självregistrering till kurs görs i Ladok mellan 2023-08-14–2023-08-31. Kom ihåg att du måste vara antagen och registrerad för att gå kursen. Att du som student får tillgång till Canvas innebär inte att du är registrerad och utan registrering riskerar du att förlora din plats på kursen.
Har du antagits till kursen med villkor behöver du skicka din meritlista till kursledaren som avgör om du får registreras. Gör detta så snart som möjligt då granskning kan ta några dagar.
Särskilt studiestöd
Har du behov av särskilt stöd för undervisning ska du informera kursledaren om det redan vid kursstart så att eventuella särskilda arrangemang kan ordnas. Vid examination behöver du följa instruktionerna i anmälan i Ladok för att anmäla extra stöd. Anmälan för extra stöd inför tentamen stänger 15 arbetsdagar före tentamensdagen.
Avbrott på kurs Om du avbryter kursen skall du meddela utbildningsadministrationen på econ-edu@slu.se som i sin tur meddelar kursledaren och lägger in ett avbrott i Ladok efter studentens godkännande. Du kan själv anmäla tidigt avbrott (inom 3 veckor efter kursstart) via Ladok Student på studentwebben.
Tentamina
Du behöver anmälda dig till tentamina i Ladok. Anmälan stänger 10 vardagar före tentamensdagen. Det är inte möjligt med efteranmälningar. Du finner din anonymitetskod i Ladok Student.
På onsdagar kl 12:30-14:30 har vi tentautlämning på institutionen (Ulls hus, plan 4). Du behöver ha med dig din legitimation för detta.
