Admission and registration
Dont forget to register!
If you have been admitted to Uppsala University, you are probably eager to get started with your studies. But before you get started you need to do one important thing: you must register for the course or programme you are going to attend. Otherwise, you may lose your place in the course or programme. As a new student, in order to register the first step is to get a student account.

For most of the courses at the Department of Earth Sciences you must register yourself in the IT system “Ladok for students”. However, there are some exceptions to this. And please notice that for all programmes there´s a roll call instead of the online registration, where You are supposed to be present to begin Your programme studies.
The registration period for your specific courses is specified in Ladok. Note! If you do not register in time, you will lose your place and your place will be offered to someone on the waiting list. For most of the courses given by our department, the registration period opens around 2–4 weeks before the course start.
Schedule
A preliminary schedule will be published no later than five weeks before the course start on the course page in Studium.
Reserves
If it turns out that you can be offered a spot on the course, you will be contacted by the Department by email. Unfortunately, we are not able to answer any questions about the possibilities of this. Check your email regularly, also the spam!
Decline your place
If you do not want your place you must decline on www.antagning.se. Doing this will open up for reserve students to gain access to the programme or course.

If you cannot register yourself
(Note: exchange students do not need to register in Ladok; they are admitted through an agreement between the two universities involved.)
In a few cases, you cannot register yourself; you have been conditionally admitted, or you have been admitted lately, or you have applied for a course that has for different reasons been excepted from the normal way to register.
Admitted with conditions
If you are conditionally admitted, you need to contact the study counsellor (if programme) or course director (if course) as soon as possible. Contact information to the study counsellors can be found here, and the course directors can be found on the course page in Studium.
Late applications
If you have applied so late that the deadline for registration has passed, you cannot register yourself. You need to contact the course administration as soon as possible, in order to keep your spot and be registered for the course. Here you will find contact information for the course administration:
