Register for a course

Mandatory course registration

• Course registration means that you, as a student, must have registered for the course in Ladok yourself.
• You need to register for each course you are going to take, each semester and each study period.
• If you do not register, you risk being removed from the course and not being able to register for exams – it may also affect your eligibility for student finance or residence permit.
• Having access to the course website in Canvas does not count as being registered for the course.

When and how do you register?

• First day to register a course.
  The registration on a course opens, Monday three weeks before the course instance starts. 
• The course starts.
• Last day to register a course.
  The registration closes, Tuesday of the second week of the course instance.
• Courses that span over two study periods
  For some courses, you need to register twice (if the course spans two periods, e.g. study periods 2 and 3).
• Missed last registration day?
  The request for possible late registration on a course is sent to course.registration@chalmers.se.
• You register in Ladok for students.

Course selection versus registration

This is how re-registration works

• If you have previously taken a course but not completed it, you can re-register.
• The same rules apply to all types of course registration. If you do not register on time, you risk being removed from the course, etc.
• For courses that span/are given during study periods 2 and 3, you cannot change to another course instance in Ladok yourself. In that case, you need to contact your study counsellor for help.
  Contact persons per programme

Registering and CSN – student finance

• Once you have registered for your courses in Ladok, CSN can see this immediately – they have access to the same system.
• Chalmers does not send a separate confirmation to CSN – what you see in Ladok is what they see.
• If you encounter any problems, we recommend that you print out a registration certificate in Swedish or English from Ladok and send it by post or email to CSN.
