Ny student Växjö

Välkommen som student vid Linnéuniversitetet, och gärna också som medlem i Linnékåren!

As a new student there's plenty of info to keep track of. Here you may read more about what Linnaeus Union does and how we may help you. Linnékårens viktigaste uppgift är att representera studenter vid Linnéuniversitetet gentemot universitetet och det omgivande samhället. Vi representerar alla studenter, inte bara medlemmar.

Vi i kåren jobbar just för dig, därför har vi samlat information du kan ha nytta av under din studietid. 

Som kår jobbar vi för att säkerställa din utbildningskvalité men även med att livet utanför studierna funkar bra. Det finns ett livligt föreningsliv på campus där nästan 40 föreningar arrangerar roliga och intressanta aktiviteter. Det finns säkert en förening som passar just dig. 

Läs mer här nedanför om föreningar på campus, vilka rättigheter du har, info om introduktionen och mycket annat!

Introduction weeks

During the introduction weeks, you will get to know your new classmates while familiarizing yourself with your new university city, and have a great time in the process. Many students describe the introduction period as one of the most enjoyable experiences throughout their entire study period!

It is the educational associations together with the student union that is responsible for the introduction weeks. You will be contacted by the association linked to your program before the start of the semester.

If you don't get contacted you can find contact information for the associations here. Under each educational association's logo, it states which programs the association represents.   

Student Life

Det finns olika möjligheter att engagera sig och påverka studentlivet. Du kan gå med i en styrelse eller i ett utskott. Du kan påverka dina studier eller studiemiljö genom att bli studentrepresentant eller studerandeskyddsombud. Är du intresserad av internationella kontakter, öva språk eller lära dig mer om andra länder kan du bli buddy till en internationell student.

Here you can read more about getting involved.

Welcome fairs

Vi arrangerar Välkomstmässan i Växjö en gång varje terminsstart. Syftet är att du får veta mer om studentlivet, få lära känna din nya studentstad och det utbud som företag, föreningar och myndigheter erbjuder.

The fairs are very popular both with the exhibitors and the students. Usually we have about 3000-5000 students visiting, new students as well as current ones. 

Your rights

There are rights and responsibilities you are expected to know about, follow and use. You should pay particular attention to rules concerning cheating and plagiarism! Discuss them with your teacher or contact us if you have questions or if you need advise and support. Do you need advice and support check out more information here!

Health

Maintaining a good health as a student is of course important, both for the success of your studies but also for your general well-being. This applies to both mental and physical health, which are often linked together!

The Student Welfare Office is a department at the university that deals with just that, student health and well-being. Yo can turn to their counselors if you are stressed, anxious or depressed and need someone to talk to. They offer physical meetings in both cities or digitally by phone or zoom. They also work with free student activities such as lectures, seminars and lunch yoga. 

Olympen is Växjö Campus own fitness center and offers a well-equipped gym, group training, and ball sport activities. 

Insurances

It is important to have a home insurance for your student apartment or dorm room.

Most insurance companies require a Swedish personal number, but there are some exceptions. Have a look at Dina, https://www.dina.se/.

Som student vid Linnéuniversitetet är du försäkrad under skoltid och under direkt färd mellan bostaden och universitetets lokaler. Försäkringen täcker personskador genom olycksfall samt vissa fall av sjukdom genom smitta. I begreppet skoltid innefattas även olycksfall under distansstudier om olycksfallet har direkt samband med de studier som ska utföras. More info can be found here!
