Applied and Clinical Virology 7.5 credits

Checklist for the start of your studies

Before the first day of your education, you need to take some important steps.

1.Your offer

You have been admitted. If you want to keep your place (seat), you do not have to reply to your offer.

If you do not want to keep your place you should decline your offer by logging in to 'My pages' on universityadmissions.se, and follow the instructions. You should click "I wish to decline this offer" next to the course or programme you want to decline.

If you see "Reserve" next to your course or programme in the Notification of selection results, this means that you've been placed on a waiting list for that course/programme.

2.Activate your user account and MFA

As a new student, you need to activate your user account (your UMU-id) approximately two weeks prior to the start of the semester.

With your user account you can:

• register for courses
• access the internet in computer labs and the university's wireless network
• submit assignments and verify your study results
• access your student e-mail

If you are a new student, you will automatically receive a user account when you are admitted, but you will need to activate it for it to function properly. You will not be able to activate it until approximately two weeks prior to the start of the semester.

Exchange student or tuition fee paying student

If you are an exchange student or tuition fee paying student, you will receive an email with instructions on how to activate your account.

Install MFA for a more secure login

To increase security and reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your information or account, students must enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in to various systems, such as Canvas and the Student Web.

If you are having problems activating your account or logging in, please contact our Servicedesk. You will find answers to common questions, and can submit enquiries.

3.Course registration

Once you have accepted your place and activated your UMU ID and MFA, you must register for the course. For this course, registration takes place during an introduction meeting, which is mandatory. It will take place on 30/09/2026 at 9AM.

Are you unable to attend the introduction meeting? Be sure to notify us beforehand! If you cannot attend the introduction and have not notified us, you will not be registered and risk losing your place (seat). Please send a message to Anne-Marie Fors Connolly before 30/09/2026 so you will be registered for the course even if you are unable to be present for the course start, and you will keep your place.

The course begins with registration and an introduction. We will cover the following topics:

•     Course aims and expected learning outcomes

•     Course organization and schedule

•     Mandatory moments to the course

•     Introduction to student projects and labs

•     How to pass the course examination.
