You must register so as not to lose your place in the programme or courses to which you have been admitted.
Registration to summer courses starting on 9 june will be open 26 May– 3 June.
Registration to programmes and courses in the autumn 2025 starting in week 36–44 will be open 18–26 August.
Registration to courses in the autumn 2025 starting in week 45 and onwards will be open 20–28 October.
For students that need student visa from the migrationboard to commence studies, special rules apply. Registration for programmes and courses in autumn 2025 will be open until 19 September for visa students. It is however important that you are on campus by 1 September, so if you are unable to be on campus by that time – make sure you notify the university with an email to a1@hb.se specifying name, admitted programme, and when you expect to be on campus.
Always check your admission results for exact dates.
When you register for a programme or course, it means that you are confirming your admission and have decided to pursue these studies. Information is sent to CSN so that student financing can be paid.
You must be registered to participate in the educational programme and for results to be reported from exams, laboratory work, or other study achievements.
If you wish to withdraw from a course you have already started, you must formally notify your discontinuation of studies, which means relinquishing your place on the course. An early withdrawal (within three weeks of the course start date) allows you to reapply via Antagning.se, whereas a later withdrawal may mean you can only return if there is space available.
Create your Student account
At the same time you create your student account to gain access to the systems you need for your studies, such as the learning platform. You will also get access to a student email account.
Follow the instructions on how to register and create your student account
2. Search for your course or programme webpage
In the Course and Programme Portal, each course and programme has its own webpage. There you will be able to see welcome letters, contact information, course syllabi, course literature lists, programme syllabi, evaluations, and other documents. In short, everything for your course or programme.
3. Log in to the learning platform
Once you have registered for your educational programme and created your student account, you can log in to Canvas. You have the same login that you use for your student account at the University of Borås.
It may take some time before the account is linked in Canvas, in which case wait until later to log in.
4. Access your email, schedule, and study results
Via the university's website and mobile services, you can read your email, keep track of your schedule, and see your study results. These services can be found on a common webpage.
5. Student Union of Borås
The Student Union will be a good support to you during your studies. As a member, you support the Student Union’s work to ensure the quality of the university's educational programmes. In addition, the Student Union coordinates student associations and runs the student pub The Kårner, which is a stone's throw from the campus in Borås.
