Arrival

Arrival Week and Orientation Week

In August, the Orientation activities take place one week before the start of the semester.

In January, the Orientation activities are in the afternoons and evenings of the first week of the semester.

For the students who have been admitted to Swedish for International Students 1, the course will start during Orientation Week. Hence, late arrivals will make it difficult to follow the course.

ESN Luleå organises an Arrival Week at Campus Luleå (which is taking place the week before orientation). During this week, all international students will be picked up from the airport, train station or bus station by a member of ESN Luleå, provided you have received housing directly from the LTU International Student Housing. Please use the arrival form you will be sent, and tell them your exact date and time of arrival.

For other Campuses, the Orientation Week activities are conducted by the respective Student Union organisations.

Academic Workshop

During Arrival Week and Orientation Week, the International Office is responsible for organising Academic Workshops via Zoom. It is mandatory for all international students to attend one of them. These workshops deal with important information like course registration, exam registration and other important administrative issues that concern your studies.

LTU card and user account

Upon your arrival you will have to get your LTU-card and User account for "My LTU". This is done at Service Point - during Arrival Week and Orientation Week (times and dates will be announced later by email).
