As a new student, you must pass a study start test in order to continue with your programme. The study start test must show whether you have actually started.
You have two attempts to pass the test. If you do not pass, you will be withdrawn from the programme.
The study start test consists of completing our online study start course How to Uni, which you will find on SDU's e-learning platform itslearning.
How to Uni must be passed no later than 8th September 2024 at 23.59.
Take How to Uni on itslearning
In How to Uni you will learn:
- What does it mean to be a university student?
- What do your lecturers expect from you?
- How do you get a good start to your student life?
- Which IT systems should you use when you are a student at SDU?
- Which rules should you be aware of?
Get access to itslearning and How to Uni
To gain access to itslearning and How to Uni, you must first have your username and password for the IT systems at SDU.
To get it, you must activate your account at
https://password.sdu.dk/newstudent.
If you do not pass the study start test, there will be a second attempt. If you do not complete the modules or do not pass in the second attempt, you will be disenrolled from the university before 1 October.
Please note that once you have been disenrolled due to failed study start test, you will not be able to apply for admission to the same program later on, unless the university considers that your prerequisites for completing the program have improved considerably.
If you are prevented from completing the test, due to illness, please contact SPOC immediately.
Please be aware that it is possible to take the Study Start Test over an extended period of time. However, you can only expect dispensation from the allocated time for the test, if you have been affected by illness over an prolonged period of the duration of the test.
Subsequently, do the following:
- You must personally consult a doctor immediately - i.e. that same day.
- You must provide medical documentation for the illness in the form of a doctor’s certificate. The certificate must state:
On which date or during which period you are or have fallen ill.
It is generally advised that the certificate contains a diagnosis - Send the certificate to your study board at spoc.sdu.dk immediately
Note that you have to pay for the doctor’s certificate
It is important that you are aware that it is your responsibility to provide the doctor’s certificate in due time. This means that you should inform your doctor that you need urgent consultation.
