Waiting list

If an admitted student decides not to accept their place on a course or programme, SLU will contact the person with the lowest reserve number on the waiting list. SLU calls waiting list applicants in strict order of rotation from each selection group.

For some programmes, more applicants are accepted than the number of available places (over-intake). This means that applicants on the waiting list are not always contacted immediately when someone drops out/declines their place.

Only students who are admitted to a course or programme should attend the roll-call.

The waiting list is managed in a slightly different way depending on whether it is the waiting list for a course or a programme.

Waiting list for a programme

• The SLU Admissions Office will contact waiting list applicants by email. Make sure you check the email address you have provided on your account at universityadmissions.se. Please check both your email and your junk mail at least once a day around the start date of the programme or course.
• If SLU contacts you, you must accept your place by replying to the email within 24 hours. If you do not reply within 24 hours, you will lose your place and the next student in line will be contacted. 
• SLU will contact waiting list applicants up until two weeks after the start of the programme.
• If you are admitted, you will find more information on the student web.

Waiting list for a course

• The department running the course will contact waiting list applicants by email.
• Please check both your email and your junk mail at least once a day around the start date of the course.
• Make sure you have registered the correct email address for your account at universityadmissions.se
• You have 24 hours to reply to an email with an offer of a place. If you do not reply within 24 hours, you will lose your place and the next student in line will be contacted.
• If you are admitted, you will find more information on the student web.
