Registration
You are responsible for registering for each freestanding course/programme course that you have been admitted to before it begins. If you do not register on time, you may lose your place. Registration is online and opens two weeks before the course starts and closes on the Sunday the week before the course starts. You can see the online registration period for your course(s) on student.ladok.se.
Create a DU electronic identity (user account)
The following information applies to international students who are NOT registered (folkbokförd) as residents in Sweden.
You can create an electronic identity as a student before your arrival as soon as you have been admitted to our courses and received your Notification of Selection Results.
First, order a "Key" by emailing support@du.se. Copy and paste this sentence into your email: "I am a new international student and would like a key (nyckel)". Include your name and date of birth. You will receive a response by email.
Once you receive the "Key", you need to create a new electronic identity (user account). To do this:
- Visit id.du.se
- Choose "New Electronic Identity", then "Key"
- Enter the "Personal Code No" found on your Notification of Selection Results and the "Key" you received via e-mail.
This user account will only give you limited access to our online facilities. Once you register for your individual courses and obtain a key card, you will have full access to all student facilties and services.
Online registration
To be able to register for courses at Dalarna University, you must first create an electronic identity (DU user account). You then register online on the student portal Ladok – student.ladok.se. Make sure you select Dalarna University where it says “Choose university”
You will now see which courses you are registered in: it can take up to 12 hours for all your courses to appear in the University's online learning platform.
If you require help, please contact Support.
When you register, you accept and claim your place in a course. If you do not register during the registration period (as described above), you will lose that place. You must be registered if you want to take part in classes, take examinations and receive grades. You must also be registered if you plan to receive CSN grants.
If you do not want to retain your place in a course and have not yet registered for it, decline your place in your account on universityadmissions.se.
If you have registered for a course but no longer want to take it, decline your place on student.ladok.se.
If you are a fee-paying student and no longer want to take a course you have registered for, you must cancel your course registration within three weeks of the course start so that you can use the course fee towards the payment of another course.
If you have been conditionally admitted, you must be able to demonstrate that you meet the entry requirements during the same period of time that you can register. Only then can you register for your programme/course on time and in so doing claim your place in it. If your programme/course has already started, you must be able to demonstrate that you meet the entry requirements within two business days of receiving your admission decision so that you do not risk losing your place.
If you receive a late admission to a course that has already begun, you will not be able to register online (as described above). Instead, you will need to email support@du.se and ask to be registered in the course in question. Do this within two business days of admission so that you do not lose your place.
If you were registered on a course that for some reason you did not complete, you can request to be re-registered. Admission and re-registration are only possible when there is a place in the course.
If you have not received any credits in the course that you were previously registered in, then you can apply to take the course again (a re-registration) by submitting a new application on universityadmissions.se. The application will be considered a late application and, in some cases, your application may be listed as deleted until your application has been processed.
If you have received credits in the course that you were previously registered in, you can apply for re-registration by completing and submitting the form below.
You may only request re-registration for one course at a time using this form. If you wish to re-register for multiple courses, you must submit a separate form for each course.
You may apply to re-register using the form no earlier than:
- 1 May for courses starting in the next summer semester
- 15 June for courses starting in the next autumn semester
- 1 December for courses starting in the next spring semester
Important information
Admission and re-registration are subject to availability. Some courses—especially those involving individual instruction/supervision or work placements (VFU)—may have specific re-registration rules. Re-registration is only possible if the course is still offered and has not been discontinued.
If you started a programme at Dalarna University but did not complete it, you may be able to resume your studies. How you apply depends on whether you had an approved leave from studies (studieuppehåll) or not.
