The processes and work methods used in industrial design and interaction design are introduced, and applied in a project that runs throughout the course.

Doors
UIDs main entrance is open 8-17, Mon-Fri. Other doors within UID are locked and you will need the UmU-card to enter these doors. You will have access to these when you are registered on the course. Access is allowed 8.00-20.00 Monday to Friday.
Computer labs and group rooms
Normally, our computer labs and group rooms are booked 9-16 for classes. Therefore, you can't always use the facilities on other times than those booked in your schedule. Before 9 and after 16 it is OK to use the computer labs on a"first come, first served" basis, and you can book group rooms, if available, through Adrian Löwander or other UID staff. In order to have access to our computers, you need to have activated your user account.
Mandatory presence and project work
As you will see in the schedule, some of the classes are marked as mandatory. These classes include assignments, tasks or exercises that are assessed and weighed into the final grading on the course. If you cannot, for some reason, participate in a mandatory class, it is your responsibility to both notify the teacher, and ask him/her how you can recuperate what you miss during that class. Of course, it is of beneficial for both you and your team that you are present for all lectures even if they aren’t marked as mandatory. Throughout the course, you will work in groups with a project. Groups are expected to work as teams.
General information: Wozzop
Every Monday at 10.15, during fika, there is a weekly information in the Atrium outside the student kitchen for all students at UID. On Mondays, a printed newsletter, called Wozzop, is distributed throughout the school. If you want to bring something up during the live Wozzop information, you can come there and talk about it or contact your course responsible or director of single subject courses so they can raise the issue for you. All students are encouraged to contribute with information and fun to the printed Wozzop by sending things in to wozzop@gmail.com.

Sök stöd vid funktionsnedsättning
Sök det pedagogiska stöd du har rätt till på direkten. Då är det fixat när terminen börjar och du bara vill komma i gång med utbildningen.
Du kan få stöd om du till exempel har dyslexi, adhd eller nedsatt syn. Beroende på dina behov finns olika typer av stöd. Vanligt är att en får anteckningsstöd, längre skrivtid eller anpassning av sitt kursmaterial. Målet är helt enkelt att göra det lättare för dig att plugga på lika villkor.
Följ länken för att lära dig mer om stödet och hur du ansöker.

Infocenter, möjligen de bästa vi har. De hjälper dig genom de första veckorna som ny student. Kanske behöver du hjälp med ditt Umu-id, att hitta rätt i lokalerna eller snabbt stämma av med en studievägledare? Och skulle de inte ha ett svar direkt, så vet de var och hur de vägleder dig vidare.
Infocenter håller till i Universum, huset mitt på Campus Umeå. Det är bara att du hör av dig om något krånglar.
