Student account

As a student at Uppsala University, you need a student account. With your student account, you get, among other things:

• your own e-mail address in the form firstname.surname.1234@student.uu.se
• a user identity of the form abcd1234 used to log in to most systems
• access to the university’s wireless network
• access to the university’s computer system
• access to the university’s printing system
• access to course material in Studium, where you can also submit data and check your study results.

You also need a Student Account to:

• register for courses you applied for
• register for written exams.

The student account has two different passwords.

Password A

Password B

Rarely used, but needed, among other things, to log in to the Eduroam wireless network.

Activate your student account

You can activate your student account at the earliest a couple of days after you, as a new student, receive the second, final admission notice. If you have not already done so, you must activate your Student Account. A one-time code (which you should have been sent to you) is required to do this. When your student account is activated, you can log in to Studium and see the courses to which you have been accepted.

Onetime passcode

If you have not received a one-time code sent to you or have lost it, you can get a new one-time code by visiting the reception at campus Gotland.

If you do not have the opportunity to physically visit the university to collect the onetime passcode, you can contact student services for help.

Register on the course

Make sure you are registered on your introductory course before your first Introduction to IT systems session. If you are not registered, you will not be able to submit the mandatory assignments in Studium. If you are not already registered, please contact your supervisor for assistance.
