Time for study checks / Spring study checks 2026

Our spring study check is now beginning. If you live in one of Skövdebostäder’s student apartments, please read this.

To rent a student apartment from Skövdebostäder, you must be able to present a valid certificate of enrollment for the current semester and an approved transcript from the previous semester showing at least 15 credits at the University of Skövde.

To ensure that you, as a student, meet the course requirements, study checks are conducted once per semester, and it is now time for the spring study check.

We will begin the study review in March and beyond.

This is how the study check is conducted

You will receive an email from the StudboAdmin system with instructions on how to log in and upload your documents. If you have used the system before, use your existing login information.

If you haven't received an email, please check your junk or spam folder.

Once you have received the email, please upload your certificates to the system as soon as possible. You must upload both a certificate of registration and a transcript of records as PDF files. You can start preparing your documents for the study check now. We have prepared a guide on how to download the certificates, but it is in Swedish—download the PDF. 

Once you have uploaded the correct certificates and meet our academic requirements, you will receive a confirmation email from StudboAdmin stating that you have passed the academic review.

If the certificates are incomplete or incorrect, or if any documentation is missing, you will instead receive an email explaining what needs to be provided.

It is important that you follow the instructions and meet the specified deadline. If the certificates are not uploaded on time or if the requirements are not met, your lease may be terminated.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

During the period when the checks are being conducted, reminders will be sent out. It is your responsibility to upload the requested certificates in the correct format and within the specified time limit.

If we do not receive complete and approved certificates by the deadline, your student housing lease will be terminated. The notice of termination will be sent to you for digital signature, and the notice period is three full calendar months.

If your contract is terminated, or if you terminate your apartment lease yourself because you do not meet the academic requirements, you will not be able to apply for a new apartment right away. You must wait at least one semester before you can apply for a student apartment again.

Exemption from the course requirements

You can apply for an exemption if you do not meet our academic requirements. An exemption is an exception to the standard requirements and is granted only after an individual assessment.

• The exemption must be approved before the study check becomes valid.
• The processing time is approximately three weeks.

Please note that we cannot make a decision if the application is incomplete or if any documentation is missing.

• Paid full-time position at the Student Union.
• Parental leave (may be granted for up to one year).

The notice period is three calendar months, and the easiest way to terminate your contract is through My Pages under “My Contracts” and “Contract Termination.”
