Welcome information, Faculty of Technology
Communications office (KOM) is responsible for sending a welcome email to all students when they are admitted. The e-mail contains a link to New Student on Lnu.se.
Introduction information regarding each program is visible on the program website and contains a “welcome box”. The box shows the welcome letter written by the Program Coordinator, date, time and place for the program introduction and (as the welcome e-mail) a link to “Before-your-studies”. The information about the start of the program is automatically picked up from TimeEdit, i.e. the next available time indicated as introduction for the different application codes. The welcome box for courses, only contains the automatically generated information, course start, and the link to before-your-studies (no welcome letter).
The Program Coordinator/Course Coordinator writes a welcome letter in Moodle.
Introduction week and orientation days
For students who applied in the national round
FTK organizes an introduction for new campus program students in Swedish for bachelor and preparatory level. Information is available in the welcome letters.
For international students and master's students
International students and students admitted in the master round are invited by the university’s international office/student affairs for orientation days, just before the start of the semester. There is a lot of information for the international students to take in and international office also holds pre-arrival webinars about how to manage the transition to Sweden. The webinar is recorded and can be found on Preparing for your stay on Lnu.se.
When can the students pick up their student account?
Students in the national admission round can pick up their accounts after the 2nd notification of results, i.e. 3-4 weeks before the start of the semester.
Fee-paying students get a one time code to pick up their account at the same time as their notification of selection results. Other students in the early admission rounds need to wait up to 8 weeks.
How to get a student account is one of the most frequently asked questions to IT-Support for students. An FAQ about how to obtain your student account can be found on Serviceportalen.
