PARTICIPATE IN THE NOLLNING
By wearing the nolle t-shirt, you will have 650 new friends immediately. Wear it with pride during the entirety of the nollning and recognize other "nollor" (participants in the nollning) from several hundred meters away.
WAIT FOR CONTACT FROM YOUR FADDER
Wait for your fadder (buddy) to contact you. This will likely happen shortly after the second admission decision. Take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have! If no fadder contacts you, you can contact them yourself by joining your program's Facebook group. Note that, the steps below can be performed regardless if you have been contacted by a fadder or not.
Even those who have been contacted by fadders should join the Facebook group, as it will serve as the main communication channel between nollor and fadders. Below you will find the respective links to each program's Facebook group.
Ekonomi also includes the students for the english Bachelor´s programme in Business and Economics!

What makes our Nollning great?
FADDRAR
Every program has a great group of faddrar (buddies), wearing yellow shirts, who are there to make sure you have a good time. They are cheerful, reassuring, and available to answer all of your questions. They will show the nollor where to go, encourage you when you are tired, support you if you have any problems, and give you a hug if you are confused.
LOVE ACROSS BORDERS
There is a lot of prestige at stake during the nollekampen (the introduction competition), and it is easy to get caught up in the atmosphere, for better or for worse. There is always a risk that the enthusiasm and motivation will turn into ridicule towards the opponents. This is something that is NOT allowed and will ultimately lead to point deductions. At the same time it is possible to accumulate points by being a little extra kind and enthusiastic towards the other programs! We may compete against each other during the nollning, but we all belong to the big Handels family.
NOLLEFRID
"Nollefriden" is a rule that states that faddrar (buddies), N&FA and others involved in the nollning are not allowed to engage in an intimate relationship with a "nolla" (a new student) during the entierty of the introduction weeks. During these three weeks all actions must align with nollors best interest. Anyone who breaks the nollefrid rule will be suspended from the introduction weeks.
SEXMÄSTERIET
"Sexmästeri" is a word that comes up a lot in the student world. Handels sexmästeri are the people who run our beloved Handelspub. Sexmästeriet. "Sexet", are the ones who gets the party going and make sure that no student goes thirsty. Why are they called "Sexet"? There are many myths associated with the word, but one explanation is that it comes from the word "Sexa" which is an old swedish word for party. You will meet Sexet a lot throughout the nollning!
GÖTES
DJ Götes are the ones who bring the pub's dance floor to life and make every student's legs tingle. These DJs know the latest music. During the nollning you will meet Götes on a lot of occasions, they ensure that there is dancing wherever we are in Gothenburg!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if I cannot attend the registration fair on the 11th of August?
If you are unable to attend Inskrivningsmässan (the Enrollment Fair), we recommend that you contact your program’s main faddrar (you can find their contact details in your program’s Facebook group). Even if you cannot attend the Enrollment Fair, REMEMBER that you still need to register for your program to secure your study place.
Do you have to be present throughout the entire nollning?
If you are unable to participate in all of the nollning, it is not a problem.
