List of Rights
Student rights can relate to student influence, the student work environment, exam implementation, degree projects and much more. You can find information about your rights and responsibilities in relation to the University in the List of Rights.
The List of Rights for students at the Bachelor's and Master's levels at Lund University is intended to help clarify what students are entitled to and, in some cases, what their responsibilities are.
There are special rules and guidelines for doctoral students.

If a right is not covered, students can turn to the student unions for help and support.
Special exemptions from specific points in the List of Rights
There are special exemptions from specific points in the List of Rights for some courses and study programmes. According to point 8.3 of the List of Rights, exemptions from the List of Rights may be granted by the chair of the university-wide Education Board following a request from a faculty board.
Below is an excerpt from the decisions taken for the faculties. Both the request for an exemption and the decision itself can be read under each faculty. If you would like to read a decision in its entirety, please contact Oskar Cornelius, oskar [dot] cornelius [at] stu [dot] lu [dot] se, who is part of the Education Board’s secretariat.
Please note: Exceptions for the new List of Rights will be published on this page in September. As for now, they are available in Swedish at the following webpage:

If you believe the List of Rights is not being followed
In cases where you feel the guidelines in the List of Rights are not being followed, you can make a complaint. In the first instance, contact the person concerned, the lecturer in charge for example, and thereafter the director of studies, head of department or equivalent. The staff member you contacted will, in consultation with you, try to find a solution to the situation.
