Roll-call FAQ
Is the roll call mandatory?
Yes. You confirm your place on your program by attending the mandatory roll call.
I’m waiting to hear whether my application for a residence permit has been successful. What should I do if I don’t get an answer in time?
If your application for residence permit is denied or if the Migration Agency has not issued a decision, and you are not able to attend the mandatory roll call for the program, you will lose your spot on the program.
Who is required to attend the mandatory roll call?
Different registration processes apply to different admissions rounds.
- If you applied in the international application round open between October and January, and got the admissions result in March you have to attend the mandatory roll call in Uppsala.
- If you are admitted in the national application round open between March and April, with the admissions result in July you are going to register through Ladok. The registration through Ladok has an earlier deadline.
If I am unable to make it to the on-campus roll call, can I attend online?
No. We are unable to make individual exceptions.
Why don’t you offer online roll calls?
The classes begin shortly after the roll call and missing the start of your program has a negative consequence for learning outcomes. Online roll-calls increase the risk of our students arriving late and missing the first part of scheduled classes.
National application round
The national application round is open between March and April and admission results are sent out in July.
