PARTICIPATE IN THE NOLLNING
By wearing the nollning t-shirt, you will have almost 700 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.
STEP 1
WAIT FOR CONTACT FROM YOUR FADDER
The first step to participate in the nollning is to wait for contact from your fadder (buddy). This will likely happen shortly after the admission decision. Take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have! If, by any chance, no fadder contacts you, you can contact them yourself by joining your program's Facebook group.
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 is also including the students for the Bachelor´s programme in Business and Economics!

STEP 3
BUY YOUR NOLLEPAKET (NOLLE PACKAGE)
Your nolle package is available for purchase in the Orbi app. You can already register your information in the app so that you are ready to go when the packages will be released.

What makes our Nollning great?
FADDRAR
Every program has a great group of 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 you 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.
KÄRLEK ÖVER GRÄNSERNA
There is a lot of prestige at stake during the nollekampen (the introduction weeks 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 absolutely not allowed and will ultimately lead to point deductions. It is important to emphasize that the scoring also goes the other way, and it often pays off to be a little extra kind to 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 mentours, N&FA and others involved in the introduction weeks are not allowed to engage in an intimate relationship with a "nolla" (a new student) during the entierty of the introduction weeks. This is in place to ensure that the focus during the introduction weeks is solely on the new students. Anyone who breaks the nollefrid rule will be suspended from the introduction weeks.
SEXMÄSTERIET
"Sexmästeriet" is a word that comes up a lot in the student world. Handels sexmästeri are the people who run our beloved Handelspub. Sexmästeriet, commonly known as "Sexet", are the ones who 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, and during the nollning you will meet Götes on a lot of occasions. They ensure that there is dancing wherever we are in Gothenburg.
