At the start of your studies, when you have received your Letter of Admission at www.universityadmissions.se, you need to create a user account: this is also called an electronic identity. You will use this to access a wide range of information about your studies and courses as well as our network services, such as the printers and the library.
Go to https://id.du.se:
- choose "Change to English" (top right-hand corner) next
- choose "Contact"
- submit your information.
Registration and Roll-Call
To register as a student and then in your courses, see the information on Registration and Roll-Call (webpage).
Decline Place in Course
If you do not want to retain your place in a course and have not yet registered for it, decline the place in your account on universityadmissions.se.
If you have registered for a course but no longer want to take it, decline the place on http://www.student.ladok.se.
Now that you have your place at Dalarna University, you will want to know what happens upon your arrival and what sorts of things you need to consider before you leave your country.
We have developed a series of pages that will help you plan: begin by visiting our webpage entitled Newly Admitted Student?
There you will find information about everything from our pick-up service to accommodation and insurance - as well as what will be happening the first week you are here.
We look forward to welcoming you at the start of the semester!
