What do we require from you as a student?
As a student at SDU we expect you to:
- Be ready and willing to study and be intellectually challenged.
- Be studying full-time. Note that learning activities do not only refer to classes, and classes do not only mean lectures. Teaching and learning activities also refer to e.g. independent studies, study group work and the like.
- Get to know the requirements relating to both your programme and the individual courses.
- Show up in time for classes, be well-prepared and actively taking part in the classes.
- Seek help if you are delayed, fail exams or if other circumstances make it difficult for you to study full-time.
- We also expect you to take charge of the more administrative parts of your course of study by:
- Signing up for courses within the deadlines on Student Self Service.
- Submitting contracts such as e.g. a Bachelor's Project Contract or Master's Thesis Project Contract within the deadline.
- Staying updated on information from SDU through Itslearning and your Student e-mail.
- Staying informed about the SU rules and regulations on www.su.dk
