If you cannot attend the course to which you have been admitted, you must cancel. You do this yourself by logging in to antagning.se External link, opens in new window..
Deferment of study start
If for some reason you cannot start the education you have been admitted to, you have the opportunity to apply to postpone the start of your studies, so-called deferral.
In order to be granted a deferral, you must have special reasons. The reasons must have arisen after you submitted your report and be of such a nature that you cannot control them. It can be social, medical or other special circumstances such as caring for children, military or civilian service, military basic training or student union assignments. You need to attach a certificate or equivalent that proves your reasons.
An application for deferment of study start must be sent as soon as possible to:
GIH, Registrar
Box 5626
114 86 Stockholm.
You can also send your application to registrator@gih.se.
Student life
Here you will find information about things related to student life, such as student aid, housing and the student union.
In Stockholm, there are a few housing agencies that are primarily aimed at students, as well as several other actors that mediate housing.
Report a move
If you move to study at a university or college, you must be registered in the population register in your place of study. The basic rule is that you must be registered where you live, i.e. where you sleep most nights.
The notification of change of address is made via the Swedish Tax Agency's website and requires e-identification.
The Student Union works both to ensure that you can influence your education and to ensure that you have a good time as a student. Being a member is voluntary.
The union collaborates with GIH's sports association GIH IF and Klubbmästeriet, which organizes the student pubs, among other things.
