When the study period/semester begins, you need to be registered for your courses. You register in Ladok during the registration period. When you register for your courses, you will have access to course websites in Canvas and can sign up for exams.
Mandatory course registration
- Course registration means that you, as a student, must have registered for the course in Ladok yourself.
- You need to register for each course you are going to take, each semester and each study period.
- If you do not register, you risk being removed from the course and not being able to register for exams – it may also affect your eligibility for student finance or residence permit.
- Having access to the course website in Canvas does not count as being registered for the course.
When and how do you register?
You register in Ladok for students. If you can't log in to Ladok to register/re-register, please contact the course registration email.

Here you will learn how to register for your courses, among other things.
Why registration in Ladok is important
Registration activates other systems such as Canvas and affects what services you as a student get access to. If you have not registered on your courses in Ladok, this may have consequences.
Possible consequences may include:
not being able to actively participate in the course, labs etcetera
not getting access to Canvas
not being able to access your Chalmers account/cid
not being able to register for the exam
compensation from CSN might be reduced, alternatively that you become liable for repayment
losing the possibility of obtaining housing, if you have applied for this
not being granted a residence permit by the Swedish Migration Agency
This is how re-registration works
Course selection versus registration
Do you want to discontinue a course
If you have changed your mind and want to make changes to your study situation, you should talk to your study counsellor first – they can give you advice and support.

Registering and CSN – student finance
- Once you have registered for your courses in Ladok, CSN can see this immediately – they have access to the same system.
- Chalmers does not send a separate confirmation to CSN – what you see in Ladok is what they see.
- If you encounter any problems, we recommend that you print out a registration certificate in Swedish or English from Ladok and send it by post or email to CSN.
