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.

Information about the course:
All companies that sell products on the European market must be able to demonstrate that their products meet current EU requirements and thereby the law in force in the EU country where the product is to be sold. CE marking of a product is a declaration from the manufacturer to the authorities that their product meets the requirements set for it based on the applicable EU directives.
The course provides, among other things, an overview of how a company can proceed to meet the requirements set for the development of medical devices. The course provides an overall picture of the basics of CE marking as well as increased knowledge of product liability and product safety. The course also provides insight into the complex product area of medical devices.
The course includes mandatory case seminars. The course includes two modules: 1) Theory 2.5 credits; and 2) Case seminars 1 credit. Module 1 is examined with a written exam and module 2 with oral and written reports.
All communication with the students during the course takes place via Canvas.
Once you have registered for the course, you will have access to the course information on Canvas. https://login.canvas.umu.se/ It is important that you take note of this information. If you are not using your university email account, it is important that you arrange for it to be forwarded to another email address.
The course you are going to take is given by the Department of Diagnostics and Intervention. https://www.umu.se/institutionen-for-diagnostik-och-intervention/
