The following are ways you can get your documents to University Admissions.

Most documents can be uploaded to University Admissions. We encourage you to use this service whenever possible as your documents will arrive quickly, easily and safely.

Scan your original documents in colour and upload them under the Documents tab

  1. Log in to your account here at Universityadmissions.se.
  2. Go to 'My pages' and select 'Documents'.
  3. Read 'Information before getting started' for important general instructions.
  4. Follow the step-by-step instructions for uploading your documents.

How will I know my documents have arrived?

When you upload your documents, you're adding them directly to your application in the electronic admissions system. 

  • Any file name you see listed on the 'Documents' page is a file that has been added to your admissions application.

  • You cannot currently open or view the documents you've uploaded. Check the names of the files we've received against the files on your computer to see what you've submitted.

Can I delete some of the documents I've uploaded?

Unfortunately, you can't. According to Swedish law, once a document has been received, it's an officially registered document and cannot be deleted. 

Tip: If you're submitting a CV, letter of recommendation or letter of intent, be sure you have the final version you wish to submit before you upload it. 

What do you mean by postal service and registered mail?

With postal service, we mean when you put your documents in an envelope, attach the right postage, and send it through the post office. 

Registered mail is when you pay a fee so that you'll get a receipt that your documents were received by University Admissions. Registered mail is usually managed by the postal service. 

Preparing your documents

  • Please send certified (stamped and signed) copies. (Read more about certified copies)

  • Do not send original documents unless you are specifically requested to do so.

  • Always include the cover sheet. You can find the cover sheet when you log in to your account here under 'Application'. Place the cover sheet as the first document.

  • Write your application number (found on the Application page in your account) on all documents.

  • Send the documents in one envelope to the address indicated on the cover sheet. 

  • Only send one set of documents. Avoid using staplers, paper clips, and documents printed on both sides.

  • Do not upload copies of your documents if you're submitting them using the regular postal service or registered mail. Sending in multiple sets of documents will not increase your chances of being offered a place and will delay the processing of your application.

How will I know my documents have arrived?

If you submitted your documents by registered mail, you should get a receipt that they've been received. This does not mean they've been scanned and registered in our system, for a few reasons:

  • When University Admissions receives your documents, they're placed in a queue to wait for processing. Because all documents are made available in the electronic admissions system, they must be scanned and then registered.

  • Opening envelopes, scanning and reviewing the many documents we receive can take time. We ask for your patience. 

When your documents have been scanned and registered into the system, you'll find a listing under 'Documents' when you log in to your account here. The date will be when your documents physically arrived at University Admissions. 

Can I have my documents returned to me?

University Admissions is unable to return any documents you submit to us. Be sure not to send any originals unless specifically requested. Even if you accidentally submitted originals, they will not be returned.

What's a delivery service?

A delivery service is a company that delivers your documents to University Admissions. You get a receipt letting you know the documents were received. The most common delivery services are DHL and FedEx. These companies charge a fee to deliver your documents. 

Preparing your documents

  • Please send certified (stamped and signed) copies. (Read more about certified copies)

Have you completed studies in Sweden?

Students who've studied at a university in Sweden have their courses and grades listed in Ladok, the student administration system.

For your university information to be transferred to your University Admissions account and application, you must have the same Swedish student identity number (personnummer) listed in both accounts.

If you used an email address to create your user account

You need to update your account at Universityadmissions.se with your Swedish personal ID number (personnummer). You should also make sure the information in Ladok is correct. Follow these steps:

  • Contact your university and make sure they're using your Swedish ID number in the Ladok system.
  • Do not create a new account with your Swedish ID number; instead, contact University Admissions so all of your academic information - what you've submitted with your original application and your Ladok courses and grades - can be merged.

Please note that an applicant may only have one account at Universityadmissions.se.
