New students must obtain a LiU-ID before the semester begins. Your LiU-ID is your username that you will use to access our digital services. From 8 August, you can access
minit.liu.se/activation to obtain your LiU-ID by following the instructions.
NB! In order to set up your LiU-ID yourself, you must have applied to the university with a Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) through University Admissions. If you do not have a Swedish identity number, you must obtain manual assistance with your LiU-ID at our Info Centre.
Visit the Info Centre
Tip: Degree students studying for longer than 1 year are encouraged to organise a Swedish personal identity number. Learn more about it from the
Swedish Tax Agency - Skatteverket.
What is a LiU-ID?
The LiU-ID is a central user identity consisting of a username and password, that you use to log in to all the university's IT services.
Studying via distance?
Send an e-mail to
infocenter@liu.se with your name, civic registration number, full address and your phone number. When we have received your e-mail an activation key and further instructions are sent by registered mail. The activation key gives you access to LiU-ID.
Have you previously studied at Linköping University?
If you already have a LiU-ID from previous studies, you only need to register for the course via the Student Portal. If you have forgotten your password, visit
minit.liu.se/activation and follow the instructions. If you have forgotten your LiU-ID username or have other questions, contact
infocenter@liu.se.
