Conditional admittance

If you are conditionally admitted to a course you must contact the student office during the registration period, in order to keep your place in the course.

It is important that you look at the rules for conditional admittance before you apply for courses.

The general rules for conditional admittance are stated at the Stockholm university webpage.

It is also good to be aware that you can only be admitted to a maximum of 45 ECTS credits, and if you get conditionally admitted to a course this will also count as part of those maximum 45 ECTS credits.

So if you get conditionally admitted to a course of 30 ECTS credits, all courses you have put on lower priority that are bigger than 15 ECTS credits will be removed from your application.

If you cannot show eligibility to a course to which you are conditionally admitted, you cannot be registered to the course.

To make your web registration, and get access to the IT services for students, you will need an university account:

Please note: Contact the Study counsellor or the Student office within the deadline for registrations, if you are conditionally admitted to a course and therefore cannot make your web registration.

If you are an Exchange or international student, you might need assistance to make your course registrations.

Please contact the study counsellor before the deadline for registrations if you need assistance. If you do not contact us in time, your place will go to a reserve.

If you have previously been registered for a course, this does not guarantee a place in the teaching during future semesters. Contact the department before the course starts if you wish to resume your studies. We do our best to make room for students who need to re‑register.

If you are going to take a re‑exam, you do not need to re‑register. You sign up directly for the exam session in Ladok. However, if you need to be re‑examined on one or more written assignments, you must re‑register for the course. Contact the student office no later than the course start date to be re‑registered and thereby gain the opportunity to be examined on assignment(s) during the current semester.

If you want access to both the regular exam and the re‑exam, you need to re‑register. Registration from a previous semester only gives access to re‑exam date. Registration for the exam is done as usual via Ladok.

Requests for re‑registration for the autumn semester 2026 (HT26) starting 24 August at the earliest.

If you want to re‑register for a course at the undergraduate level, please contact our Student office by email, preferably the week before the course starts.

If you want to re‑register for a course at the advanced level, please contact our Student councelor by email, preferably the week before the course starts.
