Follow your Application

Inside your studera.nu account, you have the ability to track the status of your application alternatives.

While, in theory this seems like a nice idea, it only makes things more prone to problems and much more stressful.

You must be wondering what SG and MR means for each of your alternatives, but let us leave that for now.

When the admission process will start per say (after the delivery deadline is over), the Office will scan each application package and upload them to a database.

You will be assigned an Admission Officer from the first university that you have chosen. This is why, if you have specific questions, you should send your enquiry to that university’s admission office. This Admission Officer will also need to go through your application and needs to put his accept on it, before it will reach all the universities you applied to.

When your documents will be uploaded your general status is supposed to change to Under assessment (at the top of the page, under the Messages box).

Once they are also accepted by the Admission Officer, your status for each application alternative should change. The normal case scenario says that it will change from Not processed to Application in process.

In the time to come, that status may change back and forth. We have seen cases of the status being changed to Unqualified or back to Not processed without a good reason for it - documents were simply being scanned or checked. If you feel that something is wrong, just go on and write an E-mail to your first university of choice, or contact the National Admissions Office.

Contacting the National Admissions Office can be problematic. Messaging them through the online contact form them could end up with just a template answer, or if you phone them you could be put in a long queue, which is not so nice when you make an international call.

Don’t forget that there’s also VoIP technology like Skype, and if you have a good Internet connection you can easily stay in a 30 minutes phone queue without worrying about the call costs.

Be aware of the opening hours and of the timezone as well. Usually the Office is opened Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 4 PM (16:00).
Sweden has GTM+1 and follows Daylight Saving Time.

You may also notice that you have received messages. Due to system malfunctions, these messages might not be real messages, but just status changes. Therefore, if you notice a dot (bullet point) under an application alternative, and there is no text, most probably there was a change, either as a status change or just behind the scenes (internal action). So don’t worry about the fact that you cannot see the message itself.
