Application for targeted study support

Nais (National Administration and Information System for Coordinators) is a system developed by the Swedish Council for Higher Education to manage the support provided to students with disabilities. It is currently used at most higher education institutions in Sweden.

Students apply for support themselves. Here is a description of how the entire application process works to assist students if necessary.

How does the application work for students?

  • Students log in to Nais to apply for support.
  • Students can log in via BankID or use the login details they have from Uppsala University, antagning.se/universityadmissions.se, or eduID. When the student applies for support, all personal and contact information is retrieved from Ladok.
  • The student must upload a certificate confirming a long-term disability. The certificate must be issued by a healthcare professional, speech therapist, or equivalent.
  • Once the student has applied, they will receive an account in Nais with access to all documents related to the support.
  • If the student is studying with support at several higher education institutions, all support will be visible in their account. However, coordinators can only see the application and documents relevant to their own institution.

Certificate of support

1. Consultation with the student about support

Once the student has submitted their application, a coordinator from the Student Affairs and Academic Registry Division will contact them to book an appointment. This appointment will cover various supports and adjustments. There may be a waiting period to book an appointment with the coordinator and receive notification of support at the start of the semester.

2. Certificate of support

After the consultation, the coordinator issues a certificate of support.

3. Contact person at the department

The student is informed that they should contact the designated contact person at the department. If necessary, the student must be able to show their certificate of support.

4. Validity of the certificate

The certificate is valid for one semester (freestanding course studies) or one year (programme studies) at a time. After that, the student may submit a new application if the need for support is still relevant. When renewing the application for support, the student does not need to book a new appointment unless they wish to do so.
