Have you been admitted to a course or programme, but do not wish to keep your place? Then you should decline your offer by logging in to your account at Universityadmissions.se. In doing so, you free up your place to someone who is on the waiting list.
As a new student, you need to activate your user account (your Umu-id) approximately two weeks prior to the start of the semester.
With your user account you can:
register for courses
access the internet in computer labs and the university's wireless network
submit assignments and verify your study results
access your student e-mail
If you are a new student, you will automatically receive a user account when you are admitted, but you will need to activate it for it to function properly. You will not be able to activate it until approximately two weeks prior to the start of the semester.
Install MFA for a more secure login To increase security and reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your information or account, students must enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in to various systems, such as Canvas and the Student Web.
If you are an exchange student or tuition fee paying student, you will receive an email with instructions on how to activate your account.
Help! It´s not working
If you are having problems activating your account or logging in, please contact our Servicedesk. You will find answers to common questions, and can submit enquiries.
You must register for the course via Ladok for students. Online registration is open between 2024-10-25 and 2024-10-31. If you do not register in time, you risk losing your place.
If you have been accepted with conditions, you did not meet the eligibility requirement when you made your application and will therefore have an obstacle to self-registration. A new assessment of your eligibility will therefore be made in connection with the start of the course by the department. If you then meet the eligibility requirement, the condition is removed and you can register for the course yourself.
To sign in to the Student web, you must first activate your Umu-id.
If you have questions regarding admissions, eligibility requirements or registration for the course, please contact the study administration via email: studexp@cs.umu.se.
