Important information regarding applicants who have been conditionally admitted to a Swedish university/college
If you have been conditionally admitted to a Swedish university/college (it usually says on the letter of acceptance from VHS that “Your general eligibility is conditional: In order to begin your studies you must show that you fulfil the general requirement of a completed academic degree comprising of at least 180 ECTS credits or equivalent” The requirements must be fulfilled and the appropriate credentials presented to the institution when the programme /course starts at the latest.") you should send your degree certificate/diploma to VHS in Sweden in order to get a new letter of admission that proves that you are now fully admitted, i.e. no longer conditionally admitted. You should not send your diploma to the Migration Board or the embassy. When you have received such a document from VHS it should be sent directly to the Migration Board or handed in to the embassy who will forward it to the Migration Board.
If you have received a refusal by the Migration Board you as well should send your degree certificate/diploma to VHS in Sweden in order to get a new letter of admission. You should appeal within three weeks after having been informed. Due to the limited amount of time we suggest you first send the appeal to the Migration Board. When you have received such a document from VHS it should be sent directly to the Migration Board or handed in to the embassy who will forward it to the Migration Board.
