Early withdrawal from a course
If you are registered for a single course (not an entire programme), you can exercise what is called 'early withdrawal' during the first 3 weeks the course is offered. If you decide to withdraw from your studies early, it is possible to apply and be admitted to the same course again through www.universityadmissions.se. Early withdrawal is not possible if you have already completed any exams or assignments as part of the course.

You can either enter the early withdrawal in your student record in Student Ladok or contact the course administrator whom will enter the early withdrawal manually. 

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. 

Leave from studies

Leave from studies is only available to students whom are enrolled in a programme. 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.
