Have you read our guide on how to login?
Answer: Always login to the Application Portal the same way as the first time you used the system:
Answer: On the login page, you have the option to reset your password by clicking “Forgot password?”. A new password will be sent to your private email.
Answer: Did you check your spam-filter? If you still cannot find the email with the activation link, then try to login via "Login as self-registered user" and request a new password. If you experience an error, please take a screenshot, and contact support@its.aau.dk
Answer: Unfortunately, applicants using German email providers ending in ".de" are experiencing problems receiving the activation link from the Application Portal. It seems the email provider blocks the email. We recommend that you set up a new user using a different email provider (we recommend Gmail or Hotmail).
Answer: Have you tried opening the link in a different browser? If you are still told that the link expired, then try to login via "Login as self-registered user" and request a new password. If you experience an error, please take a screenshot, and contact support@its.aau.dk

You cannot apply for a scholarship at Aalborg University, but we offer a limited number of Tuition Waivers for non-EU/EEA students each year. The students who will receive the Tuition Waiver are selected automatically among all non-EU applicants to Master's programmes. According to Danish law, the Tuition Waiver can only be awarded to the academically best qualified applicant(s) for a given programme. Therefore, all applications from non-EU citizens for Master's programmes are evaluated automatically for the Tuition Waiver.
