You can take a break from courses in Ladok. There are two types of breaks: "Early break" and "Break".
If you take a break before three weeks have passed on a course, it will be an early break.

In order to be re-registered for a course you have previously been registered for but have not yet passed, contact the course coordinator for the semester in which you want to complete the course, and enter your social security number. As a re-registered person, you can register for the exam in Fastreg (no later than five working days before the exam), and you can attend lectures. At the start of the course, you can contact the course coordinator to see if you could get a place in a seminar group. Also, contact the course coordinator if you are unsure of whether the course content is the same as when you first registered for the course or if you have other questions about the course.

You must re-register for the course the semester you want to take the exam. This is done in Athena or through your course coordinator. This may also be the case when you have registered for an exam five times. If that is the case, contact the study counsellor.
