Students without a Swedish Bank-ID will be emailed the instructions for activation of the university account in January.

Learning Management System (Canvas)

Once you have activated your SEDU account, you can log in to the Learning Managment system Canvas.

Canvas consists of course areas for ongoing courses. In the course areas you can, for example, access lecture materials, submissions, information, schedules, discussion forums and evaluation forms.

Programme for distance learning (Zoom)

Zoom is the software used for distance learning at the Swedish Defence University. To get started, please read the guide at the Anna Lindh Library webpage.

We recommend that you start purchasing your course literature for your first course as soon as possible to make sure you are prepared when the studies start.

Freestanding courses

Course literature lists for freestanding courses are available on the course pages. Go to Search courses.

Your access card is created once you have registered at your course or programme. You can get your card at the security/reception in the main building at Drottning Kristinas väg 37.

If your studies start in the autumn semester 2020, you can pick up your card 18 January at the earliest.

Please note: if your course or programme has switched to distance learning due to Covid-19, and you therefore do not need access to our premises, you do not need to pick up your access card in the start of the semester. However, your card will be ready for pick up once you are able to come to campus physically.

At SEDU, you have access to several IT-functions. If you have any questions, you can get support from our Helpdesk by email of phone.
