Activate your user account
In order to access the central IT systems at Umeå University, you need a user account to log into our central authentication service, CAS. Some of our services uses AD, and you will automatically get an AD account when you activate your user account.
Umeå University offers all active students a user account. The user account gives you access to the Internet from computer labs and our wireless network, the learning platform Cambro and Portalen, where you can specify a temporary address, verify your results, etc. You will also be given an email address which Umeå University uses to communicate with you as a student. You will access your student e-mail at the tab 'E-post' in Portalen. It is therefore important that you activate your account as soon as possible!
Two ways to activate your user account
If you have received a letter from Umeå University with a temporary user identity, you can use it to activate your user account. If you have applied for studies at Universityadmissions.se, you can also use your user identity on Universityadmissions.se to activate your user account. Activating your user account via Universityadmissions.se will be available from the first week in August (or first week of January, if you start your studies at the spring semester). Both ways to activate the user account can be reached via the link below.
To the activation guide
I have neither an account at Universityadmissions.se (previously studera.nu) nor a Swedish civic registration number
