Checklist for the start of your studies
Before the first day of your education, you need to take some important steps.
1.You have recieved your Notification of Selection
When you have recieved your Notification of Selection results at Universityadmissions.se, the next thing to do is to register on the course. Read more about how to do that under "2. Register on the course".
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
You must register for the course via the Student web. Registration is open from 2026-05-31 up to and including 2026-06-07. If you do not register on time, you will lose your place on the course.
If you have been accepted with conditions, you did not meet the eligibility requirement when you made your application and will therefore have an obstacle to self-registration. A new assessment of your eligibility will therefore be made by the department in connection with the start of the course. If you then meet the eligibility requirement, the condition is removed and you can register for the course yourself.
To sign in to the Student web, you must first activate your Umu-id.
