Campus Borlänge

Here's some information you may find useful:

International office

 

This is the most important place at the university for international students. Here you can deal with all documents (learning agreement, confirmation of stay, etc.) and ask questions about the things that concern you and are connected with your stay here. 

But there is no need to go there in person every single time, you can use the general or coordinators emails, which can be found here.

Remember that International Office is not open 24/7, always check the working schedule for forthcoming week (information on whiteboard next to the I.O. door) or make an appointment by email.

Reception

Library

 

University library offers both books in electronic and traditional form. Basically, the guarantee period of loan is 14 days but if no one requests the book you can hold it for 28 days, if the book loan is overdue you are going to be charged for every extra day.

It is possibility to request books from other libraries, like for example Campus Falun library. There is an online catalogue so it is easy to check if the book is available and to request it. All you need to do that is your login and password (the same which you are using to log on MyPages, Fronter and DU email). 

To borrow book bring to the library your key-card, the one which are given to every student during the welcome day. When you request a book which is on hold by somebody else, you will receive an email when it’s ready to collect. There is also possibility to order the book to your home address. 

Library has reading room where you can find ‘library use only’ books. In case of any problems you can always ask for assistance at the information point situated just behind the library door. They are all very nice and helpful. If you need some more information, here is the library page: http://www.du.se/en/Biblioteket/

Need to print, scan or copy? There are few all-in-one machines around the campus area.  To scan or copy you need to find a printer (they are located on both floors and easy to see), log in and you can start.

For printing you will need to go to the university computer lab and send the request to the printer, just like you do it normally at home. Make sure you check the settings!  After you can go to one of the universities printers, log in, choose the documents you want to print and voila!

Printing and copying is not free of charge at the university, but don’t worry there is no need to collect coins, money will be taken from your printing account, on which at the beginning you have 60SEK, called ‘free printouts’. 

You can check the balance on My Pages -> My Account -> Print Accounting.
