10 BeFore You leaVe HoMe! Checklist – Before You leave Home! Contact your Contact Person in charge of your programme or course. let them know when you will be arriving and if they have any special information for you. Who is your Contact Person? Your Contact Person may be noted on your letter of admissions or may be the one who sent you this guide. arrange your housing situation ahead of time. at the very least, arrange temporary housing solutions, see the Housing Guide page 18. If you are a formal exchange student, see page 62–63 instead. Bring your letter of admission. It is a good idea to make a number of copies of it also. Make sure you have a passport with photo and your residence permit card with you. do you need a visa or a residence permit? See page 12 to find out. In some cases, EU/EEA citizens can bring another type of photo Id that clearly states your country of origin instead of a passport. If you do not have a visa/residence permit but need one, apply for one as soon as you receive your final admissions letter. In some cases, you can begin the application process before the final admissions letter is issued: visit the Swedish Migration Board, www.migrationsverket.se, noW! Bring your original degree and transcript. Conditional admission for master programmes means that you MuSt present a degree before registering for classes. Before you can receive a degree from the advanced level from uppsala university, you must submit a degree from the basic level in the original. It might be useful to bring documents of your upper-secondary school/high school. If you make any changes to your studies while here in Sweden, you may need these. See admission Procedures on page 23 for details. You must have evidence of personal medical insurance. Bring your eu-card or certificate from home if your country has an agreement for medical care with Sweden. See Insurance, page 46 for details.
