About study administration
Opening hours during summer break
Student enquiries at faculty and joint administrative units
Summer is here, and many SDU employees are taking a well-earned break. Therefore, the opening hours of faculty and joint administrative units that receive enquiries from students may also differ from usual.
Here on the site, we have compiled the opening hours of the most used units and services that students may want to use during the summer, so you can find information if you need it.
Have a great summer!
