...but SöderS is still around this summer – in shifts! On this page, you’ll find summer information that can be useful for you as a new or returning student to keep track of.
The student union office will be closed from June 20 to August 18. The premises will remain locked until August 11. Associations and activities that need access during this period must contact us in advance at
On July 1st, we welcome a new board, and in mid-July, we sadly say goodbye to SöderS' legend Oskar M Wiik, who is heading off on new adventures. We are also saying goodbye to operations developer Matilda Good, who has shared so much knowledge and expertise with us over the past academic year. Want to say goodbye in person? Send them an email while you can, or stop by the office before June 20th.
A reduced summer staff shouldn't mean that you as a student – whether new or returning – feel lost. Below you’ll find answers to common questions during this period.
If you are a member of the student union and have been elected by the same as a member of a council at the university, you are entitled to remuneration for your assignment. Information and registration can be found here. The application for fees must be made no later than 30 days after the end of the semester, i.e. no later than July 2nd 2024.
If you accepted your acceptance letter to Södertörn University for the autumn semester 2024, you can become a member. You can register your membership here and the membership will be activated when your study registration (study rate) reaches our system. You can also become a member on site with us during the week at the start of the semester.
If you are already a student and wish to renew your membership, you can do this via the same link as above.
If you feel that you have been wrongly treated by someone at the university, you should contact our student and doctoral representatives. Regardless of whether you consider yourself to have been wrongly assessed on an examination, have been treated badly or have problems with your study and work environment, we assist with support and guidance.
Contact us here and we will get back to you as soon as possible after the holidays.
The start week of the autumn semester is week 36. The week will be filled with solemn ceremony, introduction to the university's activities and kick-off activities organized by our associations. All information about the start of the semester will be published on our website.
On August 28th 2024, together with the university, we organize Head Start. During the day, you get a tour of the college and have the opportunity to meet various support functions, such as Funka, Study and career guidance - and the student union. Read more about the head start here.
Registration takes place in different ways depending on the course you are going to study. Either you register digitally or you attend a so-called Call. Here you will find what applies to you.
The digital Mecenat Card is sent out automatically to registered students at Södertörn University two weeks after the start of the semester. If you want your discount card earlier, you need to become a member of the student union. You will then immediately receive the combined membership and Mecenat card.
The synchronizations between our membership system and SSSB are limited during the summer. However, you can stand in the housing queue for 90 days without being a member, so you don't have to worry about them being lost.
After 90 days, you need to have a registered study pace and an active membership. In order to sign a lease with SSSB, you need to study at least 50%.
Read more about SSSB's housing conditions here.
The last day to apply for a remaining place for exchange studies is July 15th 2024. If you have been involved in the student union during your studies, you may be entitled to credit points that increase your chances for exchange studies. The last day to apply for merit points is June 30th 2024.
