You and Your StudIeS
Students may be required to submit
their essays to Urkund, a computer program
that is used to detect plagiarism. Violation
of any of the exam rules, i.e. the use
of unapproved materials, continued reprimands,
disregard for instructions and the
like, can also lead to a report to the Disciplinary
Committee.
Student Register (Uppdok)
The student registration system Uppdok
contains the following information about
bachelor and master students: name and
civic registration number, general eligibility
for university studies, admission to courses/
programs, registration (presence) on every
course each term, credits taken and degrees.
The following regards doctoral students:
name and civic registration number, basic
degrees, admission to postgraduate studies,
supervisor, courses achieved, degree of
research activity, licentiate essay, doctoral
thesis and postgraduate degrees.
All bachelor and master students, who
have an account on UpUnet-S, the student
computer network for Uppsala University,
get a message to their personal e-mail
address each time any result from an examination
has been registered in Uppdok.
If you need an official transcript of record,
the departments or the Student Services
can be of help.
Students Services
Internet and Student Portal
with a Student Account
Uppsala University has a variety of student
services collected in one place: The Student
Portal – “The Home Portal for Students of
Uppsala University”. This may be the only
way your department informs you of any
changes or news.
The Student Portal offers access to your
course and programme pages, study results,
e-transcripts, information from the student
union, your own file area, webmail and more.
For certain courses, registration is available
here, plus exam registration and the division
of study groups within a course. To be able to
use the Student Portal, you must have a student
account from UpUnet-S.
Students registered on a course can apply
for a student account to access Internet and
useful student information from the Student
Portal (if you are not admitted or registered
for a course, see Computers and Internet
Access, pages 54–55 for other options).
Admission to a course or a programme
is the first requirement and the first step,
but registration is also needed for a course
or the first course of your programme, in
order for your account to be activated.
Some departments want you to register
to the course by logging into the Student
Portal using a temporary student account
usually connected to the national admissions
system. This does not always work
automatically, especially for international
students, and in this case you must manu-
