If you are an exchange student or accepted to a freestanding or distance course
Exchange students
It is mandatory for exchange students to attend the course start. 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.
Accepted to freestanding or distance courses
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.
You will find your course schedule on the course pages.
You are also welcome to attend the orientation programme, see information above.
