Number of Students in a Course

  • The nr. of students in a course might not be known until the course has started. Ask the director of studies in charge of your course for an estimation.
  • Not all the registered students in a course go to the lectures or exercise classes. Many students register to a course and don't actually follow it.
  • Deadline for first obligatory lab/assignment can give you a good indication of how many are actually following the course.

It is important that all students that follow the course are properly registered to it. If a student is not registered in the course, his/her results cannot be reported in Ladok. This applies both to CTH and GU.
