Ladok reading list

Last changed: 06 July 2023

The reading lists for SLU's courses move into Ladok.

The lists that were previously in Slunik are now created and edited entirely in Ladok. As before, the lists are displayed on the course homepage on the web.

  • The lists must be decided in Ladok to be displayed on the web.
  • The reading list have a "valid from date". It controls which list is displayed at the time of the course.
  • In Ladok, the list is available in both Swedish and English. They are displayed in the language the webpage is displayed. If a list is not created in the language of the course page, the second language is displayed. For example, if you are on the English web but there is no list in English, the Swedish list is displayed instead.
