System overload

When all new students want to activate their CIDs at the start of the study semester, MyAccount can become overloaded.
Please wait and try again a few hours later.

You should not activate a CID

For example, if you are taking a preparatory Summer course, you should not activate a CID for that course, as other accounts are used for these courses. You should activate your CID when you begin your regular studies.

You can't activate your CID right now

You can activate your CID when you are about to start at Chalmers, see When can I activate my CID?

You can't use the selected service to log in

There are several reasons for this, some are:

• We can't identify you
  Personal identity number may be missing in the login service or in our system. (We can handle fictitious personal numbers from, for example, Ladok)
• Your CID is already activated
  Applies, for example, to antagning.se / universityadmissions.se that only can be used to activate your CID.
• You have not verified your identity
  For example, eduID and Freja+ must be verified for your Swedish personal identity number.

You have problems with your browser

You can set a new password for your CID by logging in to MyAccount using one of the available login services.

If you’re unable to log in to MyAccount, there are other ways to get a new password:

Please note
Your antagning.se / universityadmissions.se account can only be used to activate your CID – not to change the password.

See the respective service for how to get it:

• https://eduid.se
• https://frejaeid.com/en/home/
