During your studies

Grades should be published in Ladok within 3 weeks/15 business days after the final examination for the course in question.

Ladok for students

Most take-home exams are published and handed in through either Inspera or Athena and the choice of administrative exam arrangement is up to the coordinating teacher. Take-home exams can sometimes be anonymous and other times not.

To make sure that you do not miss any vital information concerning examinations it is of utmost importance that you have access to the web-based educational platform Athena and that you keep yourself updated and informed through the correct course site.

In order to participate in sit-in examinations, every student must sign-up through Ladok for both regular- and re-take examinations. Every exam sign-up opens 1 month before the exam and closes determinately 14 days before the exam. We accept no latecomers!

Special deadlines may apply around public holidays, and in such cases, we will provide information on the department’s website and in Athena.

An obtained grade cannot be appealed according to the Higher Education Ordinance. However, a student has the right to have the result in question corrected or to get a reconsideration, if an obvious mistake has been made during the grading process.

The Academic Writing Service is the English-language service offered by Studie- och språkverkstaden (The Language and Study Centre).

We provide study skills and academic writing support for all students at Stockholm University. Our mission is to make it possible for as many students as possible to complete their studies independently and achieve good results, regardless of their background or circumstances. We are active in developing our pedagogical approaches, which all have the student placed firmly at their centre.

About the Academic Writing Service

Each course at the Department of Psychology has an Athena site and you become a member just by registering on the course. All course specific information is communicated within Athena. You will find the course syllabus, schedule, handouts and various learning activities in Athena, and you can send messages to your teachers and fellow students.

As a complement to the full website you should also get the mobile app Itslearning, free to download (and use) on the app store for iOS and Android. This way you will quickly get notified when something happens on your course site, and you can also communicate with your teachers and fellow students. But it does not replace the full website, so please login to Athena on a regular basis as well.

It is the department policy that handouts is published in Athena, and will not be copied on paper. If you need to print it out for yourself, you may do so at your own expense, but please think about the environmental impact before doing so.

Support

If you run into problems while using Athena, the first place to go is the support central or Serviceportalen. There is an indroduction video for example, which we recommend you to watch.

Can't find your Athena course site? Please contact the Student administration office (contact info below) so that they can check that you are properly registered on the correct course. Your teacher can probably help you with any course specific problems. If not, you can contact our Athena administrator, Henrik Dunér on hdr@psychology.su.se

Serviceportalen

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.
