It’s very important that you order your student card as soon as possible. When you order your student card, you will receive your exam number, which you will need to access the IT services of the University of Southern Denmark.

As a student at The University of Southern Denmark, you have access to the IT services of the University of Southern Denmark, including your student e-mail address, the Student Self Service portal and the e-learning platform itslearning. 

We will send you an e-mail with information on the IT services of the University of Southern Denmark and on the access to these services to the e-mail address that you stated on your application. If you did not receive the e-mail within 1 week, please contact helpdesk@helpdesk.sdu.dk.

On SDU's digital platform you’ll find book lists for all of the subjects you will be taking in the upcoming semester. The book lists are often not released until just before the start of the semester.

Ask your lecturer for advice
It is always a good idea to ask your lecturers for advice on which literature you must make a priority to buy and which literature is considered to be of secondary importance and which you may not necessarily need to buy.

SDU has it's own bookstore
The university has its own bookstore. Sometimes you may also be able to borrow the books you need from the library, or buy them used from older students or at www.pensum.dk.  

If you did, what to do next depends on whether you completed your previous study programme or not.
