Planning courses, programmes and teaching
Courses and local regulations
As a teacher at Linnaeus University, it is important that you familiarise yourself with the Local regulations for first-cycle and second-cycle courses and examination (subsequently referred to as Local regulations for courses), which you find on the staff pages Governance and Regulations - Governing documents.
The document Local regulations for courses regulates, among other things
- how courses and syllabi should be designed
- who counts as a student
- how many examinations there should be.
Programmes and local regulations
Our programmes and their syllabi should be designed in accordance with the Local regulations for degree programmes at first- and second-cycle levels at Linnaeus University. This document too is found on the staff page Governing documents, under "Education".
This document contains, among other things
- regulations
- template for headings
- guidelines and standardised wordings.
Creating and editing course and programme syllabi
Course and programme syllabi are created in the education database Ladok. As a course or programme coordinator, you should comply with the procedures laid down in the document Procedures for syllabi, för lärare, found on the staff page for the syllabus committees at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
When you create new course syllabi and revise existing ones, you work directly in Ladok, supported by the subject’s education administrator. As an employee, you are authorised to read material in the database, but in order to be able to edit syllabi you need to apply for special authorisation, using the form Ansvarsförbindelse till Kursinfo och Ladok, found on the staff page Support and service - Teaching – Ladok
Programme syllabi are also dealt with directly in Ladok, with the support of the programme’s education administrator. If you want to start a new programme at the first- or second-cycle level, your idea must first be reviewed by the faculty and the Council for Education and Learning. This process is described in the document Principles for the review of new degree programmes at first- and second-cycle levels, which is also found on the staff page Steering documents, under "Education".
Course syllabi
Time plan for revised and new course syllabi
When you revise existing syllabi, you need to consider the routines laid down in the document Procedures for syllabi, för lärare, as well as the relevant admission and term dates. In general, a revised syllabus should be ratified no later than one day before application for the autumn, spring or summer term opens. If the course is to be announced to more than one group of students – for instance, international as well as national students – the syllabus needs to be ratified no later than one day before the first application period starts. Revisions pertaining only to the reading list should be ratified no later than eight weeks before the course starts. New syllabi must be ratified no later than one and a half months before application opens.
Quality review
Our syllabi should be quality reviewed at least every third year, as regards objectives, content, examination forms and reading lists. As a course coordinator, you are responsible for seeing to it that the quality review is carried out, and that the revised or new syllabus, together with the correct support documents, is submitted well in time before the course starts to one of the faculty’s syllabus committees:
- The syllabus committee for the cultural sciences and arts
- The syllabus committee for languages and communication
Revised syllabi that do not need any review may be submitted directly to the department’s support for head of department, who will then give it to the head of department for approval and ratification.
More information (including contact information) is found on the staff page for the syllabus committees at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
Programme syllabi
A programme syllabus contains detailed information about the programme, such as entry requirements and what courses are included. For each new student group admitted to the programme, the most recent ratified revision of the syllabus applies, and continues to apply throughout the programme. This means that subsequent changes in revised syllabi do not apply to students who are already in the programme.
At the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, a new or revised programme syllabus must be submitted to the Education Board, who will review and comment on it in two steps (in the Executive Committee and in a regular meeting). The deadline for submission is three workdays before the respective meetings – dates are found on the Swedish staff page for the faculty's Education board.
After the two-step review, the Faculty Board will make their decision, both regarding ratification of programmes and revisions of programme syllabi. New as well as revised programme syllabi must be ratified no later than one day before the first application period begins.
Educational planning and annual workload planning
Each department has an education planner, who plans the range of courses and programmes for the upcoming year. The resulting plan determines the range of courses and programmes in Ladok, and serves as the basis for the department’s finances and annual workload planning.
The plan specifies, among other things
- what courses and programmes should be offered
- which are the relevant admission rounds
- how many students should be admitted.
Annual workload planning is managed by the subject’s director of studies, or by the department’s education planner. This planning aims to find the right competence for all courses and programmes (and other activities), as well as to plan teachers’ workload in accordance with the working hours agreement for teachers. The university uses the tool Retendo for annual workload planning. Retendo makes it easier for all teachers to get a holistic view of their annual plans. For more information, please talk to your education planner, or go to the staff page Retendo.
Schedules
Students should be able to access their schedule no later than four weeks before the course start date. Consequently, as a course coordinator you need to see to it that your schedule is visible in TimeEdit on the web well in advance of the course start. This applies to campus as well as distance courses. You also need to decide when to open your Moodle classroom – we recommend at least four weeks before the course starts, especially for distance courses. For more information, please visit the Swedish staff page on how to order rooms.
We also recommend that you request access to the staff group TimeEdit user group.
Booking rooms and venues
Time Edit
The university uses Time Edit to book and display rooms and schedules.
For classes on campus, rooms need to be ordered and booked. The university has common general-purpose classrooms for all general teaching, as well as department-specific, customised rooms such as art rooms, radio studios and workshops. The latter are booked through the relevant department. General-purpose rooms and venues are ordered through a central routine and are distributed in order of established priority.
Ordering rooms:
- Use TimeEdit Preferences or, alternatively, the order form that you find here
- Remember that you need to enter the course code as well as the instance code (i.e. the numerical part of the application code); you search out the correct information here
The course code is structured as follows: one digit + two letters + three digits.
The instance code consists of five tokens in one of the following ways:
- 1 followed by four digits (freestanding courses for Swedish students),
- P followed by four digits (programme courses for Swedish, international and exchange students),
- U followed by four digits (freestanding courses for exchange students),
- F followed by four digits (freestanding courses for international students) - The deadlines for ordering rooms during different course periods are found on the staff page Timetable
- For questions about ordering of rooms and schedules, please contact lokalbokning@lnu.se
The central Office of Facilities Management and Services is responsible for booking rooms based on needs as regards room size and equipment, and for coordinating orders so that rooms and venues are used efficiently. In cases where a specific order cannot be met, alternative solutions are discussed with the person who placed the order.
Purchasing books
You may purchase books that you need for your teaching. Information about rules and guidelines for the purchase of course literature is found on the Swedish staff page about purhcase and procurement.
Preparation of, and support for digital teaching
It is important that you plan your digital teaching and, if needed, set aside time for professional development of your ICT skills. You may contact your ICT educational developer for individual tutorials; you find contact information on the Faculty Office’s staff page, under ICT educational support. We also encourage you to visit the staff group EdTechs/ICT support at FKH for current news and tips.

Introduction, course, programme start
All admitted students receive an email from the Communications Office, in which they are welcomed to Linnaeus University. Program students also receive a phone call.
The Faculty Office sends out a welcome package to all staff at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, containing suggested templates for welcome letters to course and programme students respectively, as well as a checklist with important information to bring up at the course and programme introduction meetings. Course and programme coordinators are responsible for publishing the welcome information in MyMoodle well in time before the course or programme starts. The information may also be emailed to the students.
The Moodle learning platform
All admitted students gain access to the learning platform when they activate their student accounts. At this point, they have the role Antagen in MyMoodle. When they have registered on the student web/in Ladok, their roles change to Student, and they gain access to the all information in the MyMoodle classroom.
The connection to Ladok in Moodle
Remember that you need to see to it that your Moodle classroom is visible to the students no later than four weeks before the course or programme starts. To do this, you click on the cog wheel, either in the menu bar at the top of the page, or in the menu to the right, and choose “edit settings”. In the box next to “course visibility” you choose “show”, and then you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “save and display”.

Education administrative systems
In your work as a teacher, you will come across different education administrative systems.
Ladok
Ladok is a national education administrative support system for universities and university colleges. In Ladok, you can see which students are admitted to, and enrolled in, a certain course, and this is also where you, as a teacher, register student grades. For more information, please visit the staff page for Ladok.
DiVA
The new routine in place from spring 2024 requires that all errands concerning the publishing of students' papers and degree projects at FKH be communicated to diva.fkh@lnu.se. Errands are handled as they come in by an education administrator. A routine document has been communicated to the faculty staff members via e-mail from the administrative director and will be made available here shortly. For more information about Linnaeus University's common handling of student papers and degree projects. For more information, please visit the university's external page Register your thesis in DiVA.
NyA
NyA is a national system used for admission to the first- and second-cycle levels. In NyA, you can
- find information about students’ applications, qualifications and submitted documents
- find contact information for applicants
- get lists of applicants, lists of admitted students and statistics
- create address labels for mailings regarding courses and programmes at your department
- assess specific entry requirements and selection for the courses and programmes at your department
- enter number of admitted students and number of late admissions
- close for late applications
- administer admission from waiting list.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact one of the faculty’s education administrators; for contact information, please visit the Faculty Office’s staff page.
Moodle learning platform
The connection to Ladok in Moodle links students to their classrooms in Moodle. A student’s status in Ladok determines their status in the Moodle classroom.
If you have any questions, or need support, please contact your ICT educational developer. You find their contact information on the staff page for the Faculty Office, under ICT educational support.

Student support
Student rights and responsibilities
Students at Linnaeus University have rights as well as responsibilities. These may concern approved leave from studies, credit transfer, insurance, equality, study environment and more. On the page student rights and responsibilities you will find more information about our local regulations concerning student rights and responsibilities.
In the Study handbook, students’ as well as the university’s responsibilities before, during and after the studies are described.
Linnaeus Union represents students at Linnaeus University, and has a student safety representative who represents students in matters of physical and psychosocial study environment. For more information, please visit the Linnaeus Union website.
Credit transfer
Students may apply for credit transfer from previous studies or credits for professional work.
- More information about credit transfer and getting credits for work is found on the student webpage on credit transfer.
- More information about learning agreements and credit transfer from exchange studies organised by Linnaeus University is found on the staff page Internationalisation – students
Approved leave from studies
Students may even apply for an approved leave from studies by filling out a digital application form. The application form along with more information are to be found at the Admission's page Studieuppehåll (only available in Swedish).
Study and career guidance
The career guidance counsellors offer professional consultation and career support in order to motivate and inspire students to formulate and achieve their goals. This includes individual study planning, building one’s own degree, and much more.
You find contact information for the career guidance counsellors on the Faculty Office’s staff page.
Encouraging students to continue their studies
An encouraging approach may make all the difference for the student’s will to continue their studies. Seeing each student’s needs, and encouraging them to contact the relevant function the minute they run into problems or have second thoughts about their studies will go a long way. In most cases, it is possible to find solutions together.
Student recruitment
The Communications Office is in charge of making the Linnaeus University brand visible, strengthening the university’s image as an attractive higher education institution, and increasing general interest in our courses and programmes. We encourage you to visit the staff page on student recruitment (only available in Swedish) for continuous updates on what is going on, and how you can contribute. On the staff page Nationell studentrekrytering (only available in Swedish) you can read more about student recruitment for national admission rounds, and what is done by the Council for Education and Learning regarding prioritised and non-prioritised courses and programmes.
Academic support centre
At the University Library students can get help with information searches, academic writing, study techniques and oral presentation techniques, in English as well as in Swedish. For more information, please visit the page for the Academic support centre.
The Student Welfare Office
The Student Welfare Office offer professional counselling on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. They also offer courses in stress management and how to overcome speech anxiety and procrastination. For more information, please visit the page for the Student Welfare Office.
Studying with a disability
There are different kinds of pedagogical support for students with disabilities. Examples include help with taking notes, more time at exams, audio books and sign language interpreters. For more information, please visit the staff page Studying with a disability.
Equal opportunities
Equal opportunities mean equal possibilities, rights and obligations regardless of sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age. We should always keep equal opportunities in mind, in all our work. In their roles as employers and providers of education, all higher education institutions should take active measures to promote equal opportunities and prevent discrimination. For more information about our work with equal opportunities, please visit the page Equality of opportunity.
There are also staff who work with equal opportunities at the Faculty Office; for contact information, please visit the Faculty Office’s staff page.
Reporting degrading treatment
Linnaeus University has a zero tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment and other kinds of degrading treatment. All students, regardless of social background or affiliation, are to have equal rights and opportunities.
Students should turn to the head of their department if they want to report incidents. The head of department is then obliged to investigate and document what has happened. If the head of department is the person that the student feels mistreated by, the student should contact the faculty dean.
The student can also file a complaint with the university registrar (registrator@lnu.se), or talk to the coordinator for equal rights, who will in turn write down what has happened and send it to the registrar. Complaints should contain
- an account of what has happened
- the time of the incident
- the name of the person subjected, along with the name of their department, programme or course
- the name of the accused, along with the name of their department, programme or course
- the names of any witnesses to the incident.
Anyone who has been subjected to or witnessed any kind of degrading treatment can file a complaint. It can, however, not be done anonymously. For more information about degrading treatment, please visit the page Discrimination and sexual harassment.
Student opinions
University policy is that any issues or problems that may arise should be solved with as little involvement of external parties as possible. In most cases, a teacher in the relevant course can solve any problems that arise, but if they cannot, the matter should be brought to the attention of the relevant head of department or administrative director (depending on the nature of the matter).
Summary – who should be contacted?
If a student or a doctoral student has a study-related issue or problem, or if there is a problem with one of the university’s other activities involving students or doctoral students, the following people should be contacted:
1) the teacher/supervisor concerned, or the administrator concerned
2) the head of department (the teacher’s or programme coordinator’s superior) or the administrative director (the administrator’s superior)
3) the dean or pro-dean.
You may also contact the Office of Student Affairs, who can answer questions and help you take your complaint further. E-mail: studiesynpunkt@lnu.se
For more information, please see the document Hantering av studenters synpunkter (only available in Swedish).
Internationalisation in teaching
There are several ways in which international perspectives can be integrated in students’ education – you may, for instance, encourage students to participate in actual or virtual exchanges; invite international guest lecturers; or share your own experiences of studying abroad.
All students that are enrolled at Linnaeus University can apply for exchange studies; programme students can furthermore apply for exchange studies for a term or a year in connection to a completed programme.
Students can also have a practice placement abroad, and there are several grants that students can apply for, for studies as well as practice placements abroad. For more information and advice, please visit the faculty staff page Internationalisation – Students.
As a member of staff, you are an important asset in the internationalisation work at the faculty, and there are several ways in which you can integrate internationalisation in your daily work – through virtual exchanges, through various international possibilities for staff, and by promoting different perspectives in the international classroom. We also encourage you to tell students about the Linnaeus Union Buddy Programme.
Examination
Below you will find information about examination.
- Regulations and routines for examination
- Grading and reporting grades
- Examiners
- Booking room examinations
- Students’ disciplinary matters (among other things cheating)
Examination
Regulations and routines for examination
In Local regulations for courses it is stated that "it is the examiner who is ultimately responsible for grading".
- Students should be informed about what rules apply to the examination, and what aids are allowed, well in time before the examination.
- Assessment criteria and requirements for the respective grades – that is grading criteria – should be presented in writing when the relevant course or module starts.
- The examination should be conducted in the language of instruction.
- To be able to participate in an examination at Linnaeus University, the student must be registered on the relevant course. This applies for current as well as former students who have not yet finished or have cancelled a specific course.
The dates for any resit examinations should be announced at the time for the regular examination, at the latest. There must be a minimum of ten workdays between the regular and the resit examination.
It is important that you use our local regulations as a basis for planning, conducting and grading examinations. The syllabus specifies what examination forms are available for a certain course. You find Local regulations for courses on the staff page Governing documents, under "Education".
Grading and reporting grades
Examinations should be designed so that each student can be assessed individually.
- Students may not revoke submitted examinations so as to avoid grading.
- Grading is based on the grading criteria specified for the course.
- Students have the right to be informed about what grading criteria and assessment grounds are used for grading.
- Unless there are special circumstances, the examination should be assessed and the students should be notified about their results no later than 15 workdays after the examination has taken place. The examiner is responsible for ensuring that the results presented to the students are correct and that they are the same as those reported in Ladok.
- Results of examinations and weighting of courses should be documented in Ladok without delay.
Students need to be registered in Ladok for you to be able to report their grades. You can report grades for individual students via their student profiles in Ladok, or for all the students in a certain group, via the relevant course instance. The course instance is the common denominator for all students who take the course with the same start term, pace of study and type of instruction. A certain course may comprise more than one course instance per term; for instance one course instance for full-time campus-based studies and one for part-time distance-based studies.
Examiners
Examiners are appointed for each term by the head of department; lists of examiners and courses are available on the respective departments’ staff pages.
Booking room examinations
A room examination requires booking a room, printing and scanning the exam and preparing student sign-up in Ladok. All bookings should be sent to the e-mail address tentamen.fkh@lnu.se and include the information listed below. The education administrator staffing the e-mail address will take care of the bookings. In addition, as a teacher, you need to create a post in the student schedule in TimeEdit (see Booking rooms and venues under Planning courses, programmes).
- exam / re-exam / catch-up resit
- course code(s) and groups concerned
- course instance code(s)
- number of students
- examination component(s), module name and number of credits
- date, time, place (Växjö or Kalmar)
- the names of the marking teacher and the examiner
Once you have ordered the exam, it will be sent to the campus where the exam will take place, and it will be returned to the examination room at your (the teacher’s) home campus.
When you order an exam, it is important that you include a phone number where the invigilators can reach you during the exam. This is because the students often have questions about the exam.
It is also important that you indicate at what time you will come by the examination room during the exam.
If you have a student with a disability, who is going to use speech synthesis or the like during the exam, you need to send the exam on a USB stick – one for each student with a disability. The file must be in Word format, and be sent to the campus where the examination is held. The envelope with the USB stick(s) must be marked with the course code, the date for the exam and the name of the teacher. You will receive an e-mail if you have students requiring special arrangements.
The exam and USB stick(s) should be in the examination room no later than 1 pm the day before the exam. The USB stick(s) will be returned in the box together with the submitted exams.
For more information on how to use the booking system, please see Guide för dig som lärare (only available in Swedish).
Students’ disciplinary matters (among other things cheating)
If you suspect that a student’s conduct constitutes a disciplinary offense, you should immediately report this to the head of department, and then, using a special form, to the Disciplinary Board. You find more information, along with the relevant form, on the Disciplinary Board’s staff page.
After the course
Here you find information about what happens when the course ends.
Course evaluation
All courses should end with a course evaluation. We have a system for course evaluations where a number of general questions are sent out to the students at the end of every course, via the survey tool Survey and Report. The students can respond via their phones or computers, and they will receive a reminder if they do not respond. In order to get as many responses as possible, teachers should encourage the students to respond; a good idea is to give the students some time during the last lecture or seminar to complete the evaluation. The course coordinator will receive a confirmation via e-mail that the evaluation has been sent to the students.
Compilation, analysis and information
The course coordinator receives a compilation of all the student responses, along with a template and a manual for analysis. The course coordinator is responsible for analysing the results and, when needed, make alterations to the course. The analysis is performed in Survey and Report, and the system subsequently stores the compilation and the analysis.
The course coordinator is also responsible for making the course evaluation report available to the students, the teachers concerned, the programme coordinator and the head of department. Staff at the Faculty Office is responsible for entering data in Survey and Report. For more information, please contact kursvarderingar.fkh@lnu.se or visit the Faculty Office’s staff page.
During 2021, the departments continued developing the system for course evaluations, partly in order to increase the number of responses. For more information, please visit the staff page for course evaluations and surveys.
Quality work
Below you find information about the faculty’s pedagogical quality work.
Drafting bodies
The faculty has a number of collegial bodies for working with quality assurance of the education we provide:
Systematic evaluation of the quality of courses and programmes
Higher education institutions are responsible for designing their own evaluation systems for quality assurance. This replaces the inspections previously performed by the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ). Karlstad University, Linnaeus University and Mid Sweden University are working together with a model for quality assurance as part of the collaboration Treklövern. For more information about Treklövern, please see the staff page Kvalitetsutvärdering genom Treklövern (only available in Swedish).
Student recruitment
Student recruitment work at Linnaeus University is led and coordinated by the Section for Student Recruitment and Student Communication at the Communications Office. Each year, the faculty and the Council for Education and Learning determine what areas the Communications Office should prioritise in the recruitment work, based on discussions in a reference group that the faculty has together with the Communications Office.
The Section for Student Recruitment and Student Communication prioritise student recruitment according to the following principles:
- efforts that strengthen Linnaeus University as a whole; processes and activities that include everyone, that are all-inclusive and that strengthen the Linnaeus University brand.
- efforts based on the Senior Management Team’s prioritisations.
- long-term efforts with a broad applicability.
- common principles for prioritisation.
The decision on prioritisation means that the heads of faculty at the respective faculties and the Board of Teacher Education together with the deputy vice-chancellor agree on a common prioritisation based on three categories: Profiling Courses and Programmes, Strategic Courses and Programmes, and Special Needs Courses and Programmes. Based on these prioritisations, support documents for the Council for Education and Learning to agree on are prepared. You find more information about student recruitment on the staff page studentrekrytering (only available in Swedish).
International student recruitment
The faculty has a wide range of first- as well as second-cycle courses that are open to international students. In addition to this, seven of the faculty’s programmes are taught in English, and are open to international as well as national students.
There is no tuition fee for students from the EU/EEA or from LNU partner universities, whereas for all other international students there is. The fee is determined by the subject area to which the relevant course belongs, and is always indicated on the course/programme website at lnu.se. There are different grants that paying students can apply for, from Linnaeus University as well as from other organisations.
There is a central reference group for international student recruitment, who initiate, coordinate and evaluate international recruitment efforts targeting paying students, so as to increase the number of paying students at Linnaeus University.
