Is Högskolan Väst down? User reports indicate possible problems with Högskolan Väst

Is Högskolan Väst down right now?

A fast Högskolan Väst status check starts at the student web. Högskolan Väst down reports tend to rise when Canvas hides courses after registration. Ladok, My Files and student mail share the same account, yet each fails in its own way. Open hv.se first, then test the tools one at a time.

Public pages answer without a login, which makes them a clean first test. After that, Canvas and Ladok give the clearest picture of account health. If both open while My Files stalls, the fault sits in the file service alone.

Is Högskolan Väst down for me or everyone?

Compare notes with a student on another course in Trollhättan. Different faults on different accounts rarely mean one outage. When the same page fails for both of you at the same hour, is Högskolan Väst down for me stops fitting. A shared break is likely instead.

Checking why a Canvas course appears only after registration

Canvas at University West fills automatically once a course registration lands. The course page then holds information, the schedule and the reading list. Teachers add quizzes, hand ins and discussion forums inside the same room.

A student who needs a past course room again must ask Servicecenter for access. Re registration is only for joining teaching on an unfinished course. Asking for room access by email with the course code is the faster route.

What My Account, My Files and Sendfiles each do

My Account is where students fix a forgotten password or extend the account. My Files opens the home directory from any computer through files.hv.se. Sendfiles moves large files up to whole course projects that mail cannot carry. Students moving project files here often weigh distance universities abroad too, and the Hong Kong Metropolitan University status page shows if enrolment stalls.

How Ladok certificates and the hv.se choice work

At the Ladok login, students type hv.se and pick University West before creating a certificate. The Certificates tab then builds downloads with a verification code. A browser that blocks pop ups blocks the download too, so allow pop ups for Ladok.

Finding full text with Libkey Nomad off campus

Libkey Nomad is a browser add on that shows when the library holds a text you found online. It works off campus and points back to library access. A Högskolan Väst outage on the main site leaves Canvas rooms reachable at their own address.

Common Högskolan Väst Problems and Fixes

University West tools split records, files and reading across separate services. These checks send each fault to the service that owns it.

Pick University West inside Ladok

At the institution search, type hv.se and choose University West from the list. A near name pick opens another school record. Your certificates sit under the Certificates tab after login.

Allow pop ups for certificate downloads

Ladok builds certificates in a pop up window. Set your browser to allow pop ups for the Ladok site, then create the certificate again. The file carries a code that others can verify.

Ask Servicecenter for a past Canvas room

Email Servicecenter with the course code, your identity number and the reason you need the room. They reopen access for exam work or late hand ins. Re registration is a separate step for teaching.

Reach home files through My Files

Open My Files from the web services page and sign in with your student account. The home directory shows the same files as campus computers. Save work to the H drive, never the local C drive.

Reset a password in My Account

Start the password flow from My Account on the web services page. Finish it fully before testing Canvas or mail. Half finished resets leave the old password active in some tools.
