Registration, certificates and grades (Ladok)
Ladok is the study documentation system used at the Swedish Defence University. In Ladok, you can register for courses, order study certificates, see your grades and apply for degree certificates, for example.
Summative assessment and examinations
In principle, all courses contain some form of summative assessment, whereby your knowledge is tested. There are several different types of summative assessment and some of the common forms are a written examination, take-home examination or academic papers.

Pause or cancel studies
You can apply for either a temporary break in your studies (approved leave from studies) or to cancel your studies altogether (non-completion). In both cases, there are a number of things to consider, and it is always a good idea to talk to a study counsellor first.
Cancel studies (non-completion)
Transfer of credits
If you have previously completed studies that you wish to have included in your degree, you can apply for transfer of credits.
Degree certificate
When you finish your studies, you then apply for a degree certificate. The degree certificate shows that you have completed your studies and confirmation of the knowledge you have acquired. You can apply for degree certificates in Ladok.
