The Orientation programme for spring semester 2026 will take place on 15 - 21 January. During the orientation programme you will get useful information about Sweden and studies at SLU. The first day of the spring semester is 19 January. This website will be updated regularly.
Information about the Orientation programme
The Orientation programme will be organised partly online and partly on campus.
Information about the first class and registration
At the first class, you will receive important information about the course and the requirements in relation to examination and grading. Registration to the course is required to be able to attend classes, and will activate your insurance and student account. (See "How to activate your student IT account" and in the checklist)
If you are an exchange student or accepted to a freestanding or distance course
If you are accepted to a freestanding course, you are usually able to register online. Online registration will be open in Ladok one week before the course starts. To be able to register online, you need to activate your student IT account first (See "How to activate your student IT account" in the checklist). If you cannot register online, your teacher can also register you at the first lecture.
