What you need to know, course information, schedule, litterature...
There are plenty of things you need to know and keep track of before you start studying at Stockholm University. Don't worry, read through this list and ask us if anything is unclear. Number 1 and superduper important is to activate your university account. Once that is done everything will will sort it self out!
Course information, schedule, literature
Information about your courses, schedule and course literature can be found on the course page in the course catalog. Type in the course/programme code/name in the search field and find your course info.
Schedule will be published about three weeks before the course starts.
Student account, learning platform and IT-services for students
At the start of your studies with us you need to activate your student account, and familiarize yourself with our learning platform.
Most of our courses use Athena to communicate about the course. To access the course page in Athena, your student account must be activated and you must be registered for the course.
Read your e-mail
Important information is frequently sent by e-mail to the address listed in our student admin system Ladok. We therefore recommend that you in the Ladok system change to the e-mail address that you actively use.
KÖL, computer room, student halls, kitchen and lockers
As a student in chemistry, you have access to a computer room, kitchenette, study places and even your own locker.
Studying with a disability
If you need special educational support, you can apply for support and adaptations. You should apply as soon as possible after you have been admitted in order to receive the best possible support.
When you have your Nais certificate, contact the study counsellor for a meeting where we go through those adjustments.
Attendence
Our courses normally have a high proportion of scheduled teaching, in many courses you are expected to be on campus most of the day, Monday through Friday.
Because the pace of study is high, even occasional absences can make it more difficult to follow the remaining teaching. It is the course coordinator who decides on a case-by-case basis whether absence can be accepted or not, and decides on any compensation assignment.
If you are forced to miss compulsory parts due to illness or other reasons, you should contact the course leader as soon as possible.
Roll-call and registration
At the start of each new course there will be a roll-call, which is mandatory. If your are not present, you will, not be alowed to enroll in the course. Time and place for roll-calls will be posted in the schedules which can be found in the course catalouge.
Depending if you are studying on first or second level, registration for courses will differ. Please read more below.
If you can not attend the roll-call, you need to contact us on chemistry@su.se in order to keep your seat.
Online registration, first level courses
First level courses require online registration.
You register using your student account in LADOK.
Registration at roll-call, second level courses
You will be registered by administrators after the roll-call. If you need a registration prior to the roll-call, let us know on chemistry@su.se
Please note that roll-calls for courses are mandatory.
Re-registration
If you want to retake a course, i.e. be re-registered, you must contact the Chemistry Section & Student Affairs Office on chemistry@su.se about a week before the course starts.
Re-registration takes place subject to availability and if eligibility for the course is met. Our lectures are not open to the public and you are not allowed to participate in laboratory work unless you are registered for the course.
For some courses, the interest in re-registration is great and the number of places is limited, which may lead to re-registration not being possible in the current semester.
Student rights and responsibilites
Here we’ve collected information on some of the most important rights and responsibilities that you have as a student.
Your rights as a student come in part from laws and regulations and in part from local precepts at Stockholm University.
Please review information carefully as the consequences of not following rules and regulations can be grave.
