Parallel studies
Apply for parallel studies
If you want to be admitted to more than 45 credits at Umeå University in the selection, you can apply for parallel studies.
You need to have completed at least 60 credits and only have applied for studies at Umeå University in the current semester to be eligible for being granted parallel studies.
Upload your applications for parallel studies on Antagning.se or universityadmissions.se after you have applied for the courses, but no later than deadline for supporting documents.
Approved leave from, or non-completion of, studies
Apply for approved leave from studies
If you have been admitted to studies and wish to take a break in your studies with the aim of resuming them at another time, you can apply for an approved leave from studies. You must have specific reasons to be able to get an approved leave from studies granted. Therefore, it is important that you specify your reasons when applying.
Once granted an approved leave from studies, this means that you are guaranteed a place to the course or study programme for a specified term if you sign up for the resumption of studies in due time.
Submit the application to your department or the person responsible for the course or study programme.
Rules on approved leave from studies are provided in the rules for study administration at first- and second-cycle levels (in Swedish, "regler för studieadministration på grund- och avancerad nivå"). You can find it in the Swedish version of the Legal Framework at Umeå University.
Notify non-completion of studies
If you are registered on a course or study programme and want to interrupt these studies, you can notify non-completion of studies.
By notifying non-completion of studies, you lose your place on the course or programme in question. After that, you are no longer guaranteed a place if you wish to resume your studies on that particular course or study programme at a later time. By notifying non-completion of studies, you may also give another person the possibility to be offered a place on the course or programme.
Rules on approved leave from studies are provided in the rules for study administration at first- and second-cycle levels (in Swedish, "regler för studieadministration på grund- och avancerad nivå"). You can find it in the Swedish version of the Legal Framework at Umeå University.
