Do I have to do a presentation about JU while on exchange?
It is compulsory for all outbound exchange students to make a presentation at the partner university. It could be different marketing activities such as, a fair, presentation in a class room, or writing an article for a newsletter.
Upon arrival to the partner university, check on how this can be organized. And also remember, you are an ambassador for Jönköping University and School of Education and Communication, both at the university and on your leisure time.
Is it possible to change courses after getting them approved in MOA (IntApps)?
Yes, these must be approved by your course advisor.

In case of an emergency be sure to contact the emergency services in the country in which you are studying. You can also contact
- SOS International
- Swedenabroad (in swedish)

Re-examinations are very rare at many of our partner universities. If you fail a course you may have to take an extra course at Jönköping University to be able to obtain your degree.
Where should transcript of records be sent?
The transcript of records must first be sent to Jönköping University to be processed. If the transcripts are sent directly to you, then you should send a certified copy to transcripts@ju.se as soon as possible.
