Rules regarding registration

If you find yourself unable to attend the course you need to inform the course leader and the course administrator as soon as possible and no later than one month ahead of the course start. Many courses have a waiting list and the next PhD-student in line needs to be informed of a possibility to attend the course. Also, if there are too few participants the course might need to be cancelled.

Late cancellation and no show at the start of the course (without valid reason) could lead to an administrative fee (5 000 SKR*) charged to the PhD-student’s institute. This is in line with a decision by the Council of PhD studies (FUR). Cancellation without valid reason will be communicated, by the course leader, to the PhD-student’s supervisor and head of the institute at which the PhD-student is registered. *This does not apply to part I and II of the obligatory PhD-course. Cancellations at these courses are to be communicated to the course leader as soon as possible.
