During your studies
Here we have compiled useful information for your studies at the Department of Education. Further down this page you will find more information with links to the general education pages at Stockholm University.
Ladok for students
All your course registrations and study results are reported directly into the Ladok system.
As a student you will find your details in Ladok for students. This is where you usually register for every course that you have been admitted to and sign up for examinations. You can get certificates of your finished courses and much more.
Academic Writing Service
The Academic Writing Service provides English-language support for writing and study skills. We give talks and seminars and offer individual guidance. Our services are available free of charge to all students at Stockholm University.

Dropping a Course and Study Leave
Dropping a course
If for any reason you decide to withdraw from a course that you are registered for, report your withdrawal in Student Ladok.
Click on the course and choose “I no longer wish to attend”. Confirm in the next step.
Note that if you withdraw your registration within the first 3 weeks the course is offered, this is considered an early withdrawal which means it is possible to re-apply and be admitted to the same course again through www.universityadmissions.se.
An early withdrawal is not possible if you have completed any exams or assignments as part of the course.
If you do not withdraw from a course within the first three weeks, you can only be re-registered for the course if there is space.
Study Leave
Taking leave from studies means that you take a break in your studies with the intention of resuming later on. In certain cases, leave from studies can be combined with the right to continue on a specified date. This is referred to as 'leave from studies with a place guarantee' and is only possible if you demonstrate a specific reason. If you are not guaranteed a place, you may resume your studies only if and when there is space available in the programme.
