Visit the new Student Portal Even before the launch of the new Student Portal, you can visit the website to get an idea of how it will look. The editorial work is still ongoing, which means that some information will be updated or supplemented, but please familiarize yourself with the menu and structure.

Canvas and the Student Portal
Why not just use Canvas, many are asking. The short answer is no, and it's because the Student Portal and Canvas have different purposes:
Student Portal: It's a website with general information aimed at all students at the University of Gothenburg. Anyone can visit the Student Portal and access all the information available here. The information here is relevant to all students and is valid for an extended period.
Canvas: It's a learning platform and can be described as the students' digital classroom. Course rooms are restricted to students registered for the course and contain information necessary for completing the course. A new course room is created for each new course instance, and the information in Canvas is only applicable for a shorter duration.
The Student Portal serves various purposes for students, and the information in the Student Portal and Canvas complements each other.
