Waiting list admission

If an admitted student decides not to accept their place on a course or programme, SLU will contact the person with the lowest reserve number on the waiting list. SLU calls waiting list applicants in strict order of rotation from each selection group.

For some programmes, more applicants are accepted than the number of available places (over-intake). This means that people on the waiting list are not always contacted immediately when someone drops out/declines their place.

Only students who are admitted to a course or programme should attend the roll call.

Waiting list differ in some ways depending on if it is waiting list to programmes or courses.
