Academic
EHS applies mandatory attendance. The school’s educational profile is based on the close interaction between students, teachers and literature. The student must ensure that they make up for lost teaching time.
The attendance requirement of 80% applies. If the digital connection does not work, it counts as absence, regardless of cause. Therefore, make sure that all the necessary technology is working on your home computer.
For further information see the Requirements for students page.
Sound recording, photography and filming in teaching situations are allowed with the permission of the teacher. Please note that other students have a right to ask for the lecture not to be recorded. Any such recording must only be used for the student’s own private use.
You should look under the section Online Platforms where you will find a complete visual guide and contact details if you need help.

The university employs a range of assessment methods. The details of these can be found under Assessment
If a student has met the required prerequisites (check these carefully), they can begin new courses. It is possible to start new courses even if up to 15 credits remain outstanding from courses which have not been completed. If the number of points outstanding is greater than 15, it is incumbent on the student to contact the study guide for study planning. If a course is started without these requirements being met, the student risks being asked to leave the course.
Certificates are issued through the LADOK platform. Application should be made to the respective department no later than the 15th May for the issue of certificates in the same academic year. See the section on Certificates for more details.

Personal
State universities have accident insurance for their students via the Kammarkollegiet, but unfortunately, as an independent university, we cannot take out such insurance. So you as a student need to make sure that you have accident insurance so that you are protected in case of accidents.
In the first instance you should contact your teacher and let them know, and also the rector of your seminary if you are staying in one of the seminaries in Södertälje. Teacher’s email addresses can be found under Contact.
It is important to remember that if you have study funding, in order to keep your study funds in case of illness, you must make a sick report to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) on the first day you are ill. CSN does not count the weeks you are ill and in receipt of study funding towards the total number of weeks you are allowed for study funding. Those weeks are also not counted when CSN assesses your study results. Even shorter periods of sickness can affect the assessment of your study results. It is therefore important that you always report to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) when you are ill. Read also what happens when you take care of children or relatives: Read more on CSN’s website.
If for some reason a student cannot continue with their studies they should report this immediately. Students on programs should report it to their study counselors and students on stand-alone courses should report to kursadministrator@ehs.se.
Program students may request study breaks, which are normally granted for a maximum of two years. Unless re-registration has been made by April 1 or October 1 (respectively) for courses beginning in the next study semester, the student is removed from the student register.

UCS works to combat harassment and discrimination of all kinds and to promote the equal rights of students, regardless of gender, ethnic, religious or other beliefs, sexual orientation or disability.
If, as a student, you feel that you have been subjected to abusive treatment, you should, if possible, first speak with the person(s) who acted against you or contact the student union. If this does not help, contact the Dean.
