FAQ:
What does 'Reserve' mean and what's next?
If you see the status ‘Reserve' next to a course or programme, it means that you have been placed on a waiting list.
Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding your chances of being offered a place and are unable to answer any questions you may have.
My application status is 'unqualified'. What does that mean?
The application status ‘Unqualified’ means that you don’t fulfil the general entry requirements. You haven’t submitted complete documentation by the supporting documentation deadline.
The status is not a final admissions result.
You can submit further documentation as proof if you believe you meet the general entry requirements. Documents you submit after the last supporting documentation deadline won’t be assessed until after the admission results have been published.
I submitted documents after the deadline and my application was deleted even though I believe I am qualified. What do I have to do?
After admissions results are published, if a course was deleted because you didn’t meet the entry requirements – but you believe you do meet them based on the late documents you submitted – you must reapply for the course. You can do this by completing these steps:
- send us an email to admission@kau.se after admissions results are published, explaining that you’d like to reapply
- in the letter, include the application code(s) for the courses you wish to reapply for and indicate in what order you wish to rank them
- you can submit your documents at any time.
You may only reapply to alternatives that are still open for late applications.
