Your most frequently asked questions

It's difficult to say if and when an applicant on reserve (waiting list) or with a late application will find out if they've been offered a place:

  • universities offer places to people on reserve as they become available. It's impossible to say if places will open in a course or programme as an accepted applicant needs to decline their place for it to be made available.
  • late applicants may be considered if there are still places available after all reserves have been contacted.  

After selection, if the university decides to offer you admission, you'll receive an email along with a new Notification of Selection Results. In most cases, the university will be in touch with you directly.

In some cases, you won't hear from the university until after the semester starts.

If you do not wish to keep your place, you should decline your offer. This will remove you from the university's class and contact list for the course and make the space available to other interested applicants.

If you wish to keep your place, you do not need to reply to your offer. All contact from this point on should be directly between you and your university.

The application status ‘Unqualified’ means that you don’t fulfil the general entry requirements. You haven’t submitted complete documentation by the supporting documentation deadline.

The status is not a final admissions result.

If you believe you meet the general entry requirements, you can submit further documentation as proof. Any documents you submit at this stage won’t be assessed until after the admission results have been published.

Please follow these steps, at the times indicated:

  • At any time, submit your documentation to University Admissions. You can submit your documentation either by using the uploading function here at Universityadmissions.se in your account, or sending them by the postal/delivery service.
  • After you've received your admissions results where you see the course in question has been deleted, submit a letter explaining that you would like to reapply for the course. All courses an applicant is not eligible for are deleted and must be reapplied to. Include the application codes for the courses for which you wish to reapply and indicate in what order you wish to rank them. Your application date will be the date we receive your documentation and your letter.

Yes, you may have a chance. While a late application is considered if there are places available after selection, it all depends on which course or programme you applied to and the individual university offering the course. 

In general, in order to be offered a place as a late applicant, people who were offered a place will have to decline it and all the people on the waiting list will have to indicate they aren't interested in any places that become available. Only after that do universities begin to consider late applications.

Because of all the factors involved, it's impossible for us to say what your chances are.

If you've previously submitted documents to University Admissions, they remain in our electronic admissions system.

  • The documents you upload are immediately placed in your electronic admissions application
  • Documents that are submitted through regular mail are scanned and entered into this system.

You only need to send in documents for any new studies you've completed or tests you've taken since you sent in your last documentation.

It is possible if you last logged in to Universityadmissions.se quite some time ago, that your electronic account has been deleted. If this is the case, please follow these instructions:

  • Select a different email address than the one you used earlier and create a new account on Universityadmissions.se. Remember that you'll have to check this account regularly as important information will be sent to you there from University Admissions so it's good to select an email account you'll have access to later. If you don't have another email account you can use, you can always create one.
  • Contact University Admissions and let them know that your old account was deleted, you've created a new one and that you need to connect this new account with all your documents that are on file in the admissions system
