Points of contact when feeling ill

Reporting illness

If you are unable to carry out your studies for a limited period, you must apply for leave of absence (study break). If you discontinue your studies without notifying the University, you are considered to have interrupted your studies, which in practice means that you lose your place on the programme.

Leave of absence

Send an email to studenthalsan@hh.se or give us a call (+46 35-16 74 37) to discuss your state of health, and we either make an appointment or refer you to a suitable support service, as listed below.

Have you had problems for a longer period of time, and have been in touch with a regular healthcare centre or a psychiatrist, we kindly ask you to turn to them for further support.
