Within the first three weeks of a course, you can make an early de-registration through Ladok. To qualify as so-called 'early de-registration' the de-registration also has to be done before the first examination.

Please note: If you de-register from a course after the first three weeks, it is not possible to apply for the course again via university admissions and you will only be able to take the course at a later date subject to availability. In that case, you will have to ask for a re-registration at the student's office.

Please note: De-registration from a program does not include de-registration from the courses within the program, you have to de-register from the courses separately.
