Question: How do I re-apply for a course?
Answer: If you have “delete status” for course in Notification of selection results because you have already been admitted to too many credits or because you failed to answer yes. Then you can re-apply during the period for late application. Please note that you cannot re-apply until the first day of the late application period. You don´t need to upload any documents.
Read more here about how to re-apply.
Question: Can I be admitted to more than full-time studies in late application period?
Answer: The late application period has no admission limit. Make sure that you are only admitted to the courses you will participate in. Remember to withdraw from courses you are not going to attend in order not to take up places for other students.
Question: How are courses allocated among students during the late application period?
Answer: See question " How are courses allocated among students?”
Question: When will I receive a result for my late application?
Answer: At earliest about three to four working days after your application.
Question: Why have I been placed on a waiting list during late application period despite the fact that there are vacancies on the course?
Answer: If an applied course has limited places during late application period, you will first receive information that you are placed on a waiting list. If there are then places left, you will soon after that be able to get admitted. If you are admitted or not, however, follows according to question "How are courses allocated among students?”.
Question: I have used all my nine choices but need to make further choices in late application. What should I do now?
Answer: See question " How many courses can I pick?”
Question: How and when can I withdraw from course?
Answer: Until you have registered for a course, you withdraw from course on universityadmissions.se. If you have already registered for a course, you need to withdraw from course in Ladok (and on universityadmissions.se until the last day of registration). It is very important that you withdraw from courses you are not going to attend; partly so as not to take up place for other students and partly so that the examiner can get a correct list of participants.
Question: Does it matter when I apply during the course selection?
Answer: No, during the regular application round it does not matter as long as it is on time. During late application period, on the other hand, an allocation is made per application day. For more information about allocation, see the question "How are courses allocated among students?”
Question: What is the Notification of Selection Results based on?
Answer: A selection is made for courses with limited seats. In the decision below, you can read in which order different selection groups are prioritized.
Question: I did not get courses for full-time studies / I did not get all my chosen courses. What do I do?
Answer: You must reply to the offers you received. If you are placed in a reserve list for a course you want to study, it is important that you say yes to keeping your reserve place. In the late application period, you can select additional courses to add up to full-time studies.
Question: I have been admitted to the wrong number of courses in the study periods. What can I do now?
Answer:If the admitted courses are distributed wrongly related to the study periods then you need to answer yes to the courses that you want and no to the courses that you don´t want at universityadmissions.se. You are then refered to make late application to other courses or re-apply for deleted courses during the late application period.
Question: Why haven't I received my Notification of results?
Answer: Check that you have correct email address at universityadmissions.se. Notification of Selection Results and and if admitted from the waiting list, the results will be sent to that email address.
Question: How are courses allocated among students?
Allocation is based on the value the course has related to your programme curriculum; compulsory elective, elective or outside curriculum. If there is then a need to make a further allocation between students, this is done primarily by the highest number of achieved credits in the current education program and if the same number of credits a draw is made. Grade point average is thus not used as an allocation criterion.
In the late application period, allocation is made according to the application date and then a draw. The relation of the course to the program curriculum and the highest number of points taken have no effect in late application period.
Question: Why has Chalmers changed course selection systems?
Answer: Chalmers chooses to replace an outgoing software in favour of a familiar national software which will facilitate the course selection for students and employees.

Answer: You will be admitted to the number of credits stated in your curriculum.
Question: What happens if I miss making a course selection in time?
Question: Do I have access to all courses at Chalmers at universityadmissions.se?

Question: How do I know if I should make a course selection?
Answer: You must make a course selection if your programme’s curriculum states that you have compulsory elective or elective courses in the spring semester.
