Who can become a member?
Norrlands nation originally originated from student associations that targeted students from Norbotten, Västerbotten, Jämtland and Västernorrland counties. It is also the landscapes included in these counties that make up the nation's coat of arms.
Today, there are students from all over Sweden (and the world) at the nation.
The nation still has a natural affinity with northern Sweden. Our partner Norrlandsförbundet works specifically for Norrland's economic, cultural and social development.
How do I change my address?
On your member page at medlem.kuratorskonventet.se you can correct your address yourself and are responsible for ensuring that it is updated.

Where is my nation card?
You can access your digital nation card via the Mecenat app.

Primarily, your nation card is in the Mecenat app.
If you are unable to use apps on your phone, you can get a temporary card that is valid for an entire semester. Contact the office for help with this.
Where can I buy a guest card?
Students at universities or colleges in other countries or other cities in Sweden may buy a guest card (temporary membership) to get access to the student nations of Uppsala and their great range of activities. You can purchase this card at any of the nations, or at Kuratorskonventet’s Guest card expedition located at the bottom floor of the student union (Uppsala studentkår) building on Övre Slottsgatan 7.
