Authentication

Help

You need a user account to register for your courses, obtain an entry card and library card, and also utilize services such as Studentportalen, learning platform and e-mail.
The recommended way to authenticate as a student or employee without a Swedish personal identity number is to create an eduID where you may use eIDAS or Svipe iD to verify your identity. For any troubles creating an eduID, please see the eduID FAQ.
Visit universityadmissions.se to reset your password or choose another authentication method.
You may retrieve a code at the Helpdesk. If you only wish to reset your password, i.e. not activate a new account, you may request a one-use verification code through this form.

The code will be sent to your Swedish postal address. Should you not be registered in the Swedish address registry and cannot visit Helpdesk, please contact helpdesk@his.se.

You may also have the code delivered through e-mail and SMS, though this requires you to first have verified your contact information which can be done when you are authenticated.
