SH-Account

Every student at the university gets their own SH-Account for the university’s IT environment. Find out how to activate your account – and more.

An SH-Account allows you to log in to SH-StudyWeb (you must be registered on a course to do this), the university computers, and also gives you access to Eduroam, the university’s wireless network.

Activating your SH-Account

You can collect a temporary single-use password for activating your SH-Account. You can also use this function to reset your password if you’ve forgotten it. A temporary single-use password is valid for four hours.

There are various ways to collect your SH-Account.

Activate your SH-Account using login details from universityadmissions.se or with an EduID
If you have a verified account at universityadmissions.se or eduid.se, you can retrieve a single-use password on screen.

Collect your account via universityadmissions.se or EduID.se

If you can't find that information, please contact Infocenter.

If you do not live in Sweden, we need to send you the information for your SH-Account. In addition to your temporary ID number, we need a picture of your ID and a utility bill with your name and address on it. This could be a bill for electricity, gas, water, TV, broadband or rent, but not a mobile phone bill or bank statement. The bill must be less than three months old.
