What is Nais?

Nais is a digital system where students with long-term disabilities can apply for support at Swedish higher education institutions. It is a national system, used by most higher education institutions in Sweden. 

Who can access your information in Nais?

The information you provide in your application is only accessible to the coordinators at the higher education institution to which you applied. This means that you have to make a new application in Nais even if you have previously received support at other universities in Sweden since the coordinators at Stockholm University do not have access to applications you may have made to other higher education institutions.

The main duties of a coordinator of disability study support are to:

• process cases for students with long-term disabilities
• recommend adjustments based on documentation of a long-term disability and a meeting with the student
• collaborate with the departments on finding appropriate adjustments
• provide operational support to the departments
