Geodatabase Design 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.Reply to your offer

If you have been admitted to a course or programme, or been placed on a waiting list, you must reply to your first admissions notification to keep your place. If you don't wish to keep your place, you should decline your offer. In doing so, you free up your place to someone who is on the waiting list. You reply to your offer by logging in to your account at Universityadmissions.se by 20 july 2026.

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.

Help! It´s not working

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

To be registered to the course you need to participate at the first lecture at campus. If you not show up you may lose your spot. Please contact study administrator or course manager if you dont intend to participate at first lecture. No one can register before first lecture. It´s important to be at campus September 7th at the latest, after that date we do not register anyone. 

The course literature is "Modeling Our World: The Esri Guide to Geodatabase Concepts, 2nd edition". The book will form the basis for both a seminar and the written examination. It is therefore helpful if you have access to it at an early stage of the course.
