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.

You can read more in the form:  Programme Study Leave (149 Kb)
