Apply for support as an exchange student

Exchange programmes are financed in different ways. Therefore, your home university and Stockholm University must have a dialogue before you can apply for support through the digital system Nais. Establish contact with the international coordinator at your home university so that they can contact the international coordinator as well as Disability Services at Stockholm University.

You are welcome to make your digital application in Nais when:

• you have been informed that the universities have come to an agreement
• you have received your interim personal identity number (T-number)
• you have activated your university account

Please note that activation of your university account may not be possible until the start of the semester. In that case, please contact disability@su.se to receive help making your application in Nais before you arrive.

Submit an application in the system Nais by clicking the link below. Attach your certificate regarding support from your home university in your application. The certificate must be in English.

Make an application in Nais

After you have submitted you application one of the following things may happen:

• If your application is complete, you will be contacted by a coordinator to discuss your need for support. The discussion can be held through a digital or physical meeting or via telephone or email.
• You may be asked to provide additional documentation needed to process your case.
• Your application is denied. 

When your application is approved you will receive a certificate in Nais detailing your recommended and decided adjustments at Stockholm University.

Logging in to Nais

As an exchange student, we recommend you log in to Nais with your Stockholm university account, if possible. However, activation of your university account may not be possible until the start of the semester. In that case, please contact disability@su.se to receive help making your application in Nais before you arrive.

Application process

The application process in Nais consists of 6 steps that you must complete before submitting your application.

1. Select university – choose Stockholm University.
2. Personal data processing – read the information on how your personal data is processed.
3. Contact information – check your contact information and make any necessary changes.
4. Attach certificate – upload documentation confirming your long-term disability. Nais will allow both PDFs and pictures, so you may photograph your documentation and upload this. 
5. Describe your study situation – in the first part, specify what you are or will be studying and for how long. In the second part, you may describe how you think your disability might affect your studies. The second part is optional.
6. Check your application – and submit it.

What is Nais?

Nais is a digital system where students with long-term disabilities can apply for support at Swedish higher education institutions. It is a national system, used by most higher education institutions in Sweden.

Who can access my information in Nais?

The information you provide in your application is only accessible to the coordinators at the higher education institution to which you applied. This means that you have to make a new application in Nais even if you have previously received support at other universities in Sweden since the coordinators at Stockholm University do not have access to applications you may have made to other higher education institutions.

The main duties of a coordinator of disability study support are to:

• process cases for students with long-term disabilities
• recommend and decide on adjustments based on documentation of a long-term disability
• provide assistance to departments in their work with disability study support
