You use your student account to log in to the Student Portal and access the learning platforms GUL and Canvas, Ladok, Wifi, and much more. In order to use your student account, you must first activate it.
As a new student at the University of Gothenburg, you need to activate your student account. If you have a Swedish personal identity number and login information to universityadmissions.se or to eduID, you can activate your student account yourself. EduID is an e-service that enables you to activate and manage student accounts at Swedish universities throughout your study time.
When you activate your student account via universityadmissions.se or eduID, your username will be displayed directly on the screen and you choose your own password.
Please note that you must be admitted to a course or study programme at the University of Gothenburg in order to be able to activate your student account. You can activate your account about two weeks before the start of the course.
If you do not have a permanent Swedish personal identity number and/or you do not have login information to universityadmissions.se or eduID, you will not be able activate your student account yourself. Servicecenter can help you activate your student account, about two weeks before the start of the course at the earliest.
For security reasons, Serviceenter cannot send passwords via e-mail. You can pick up your login information at one of our Servicecenters in Gothenburg or we can send it via post to the address registered in our system.
Wednesday December 18, an e-mail was sent with general information about student accounts. The purpose was to inform students about how student accounts work and for how long they are active after your studies. Some students got the impression that their student accounts will be deleted now. That is not the case.
If you do not have a permanent Swedish personal identity number, you will not be able to activate your student account yourself.
Servicecenter can help you with the login information, but for security reasons we cannot send passwords via e-mail. You can pick up your login information at one of our Servicecenters in Gothenburg or we can send it via post to the address registered in our Ladok system.
