To be allowed to pursue the thesis work the following requirements must be fulfilled:

• Students must have earned 140 points (100 points for Bachelor students) that can be applied to their degree. In particular, note that students with 2 or 3 beginning courses in imperative programming will only be allowed to count one. See 'studiehandboken' (in Swedish only) or contact the student counsellor or the student office if in doubt.
• Students should not have any base or core courses that have not been passed. An exception can be made for those with 1 or perhaps 2 outstanding exams, but the student must present a credible plan. Homework, lab, and project portions must be completed.
• Students with less than 160 points (110 points for Bachelor students) that can be applied to their degree must present a plan on how they will complete the degree.
• Students should have completed all courses that are mandatory for the area of the thesis. See 'studiehandboken' (in Swedish only).
• Students must have completed any courses that the potential examiner feels are needed to successfully complete the thesis.
