Admission
• You have been accepted to Norwegian
courses with a course fee.
• You have been accepted for one semester. If
you wish to continue next semester, you have
to let me know in writing before May 1st.
Which level to register for?
• If you have attended and passed a level at the
University of Oslo or another Norwegian
university, you should continue on the next level.
• If you have attended courses outside the
University of Oslo, you must attend the
placement test.
• If you are not sure which level to join, you should
attend the placement test.
• If you have no knowledge of the
Norwegian language, you should attend
level 1.
Payment
• You will get an invoice for 3000,- within the next
4 weeks. The rest of the course fee will be sent
after the course has started (in installments).
• If you do not get a seat in the class of your
choice, and you don’t want to attend courses,
you have to let me know before the courses
begin so I can give the seat to someone else. If
you don’t let me know before the
courses begin, you have to pay the
entire course fee.
Semester registration
To register for courses, you need to go on the internet and
find the Student Web.
• Logging into the Student Web is done with your 11-digit
personal ID-number and your PIN code.

registration help on Thursday 8th of January 2009.
Semester fee
Everyone must pay the semester fee in addition to the
course fee. You will find your payment information in
the Student Web. You may request that the bill is sent
to you in the regular mail or you may print the
information and pay via your net bank immediately.
The Semester fee MUST be paid by February 1st.
Otherwise, you will not be allowed to sit the exam.
Rules for the courses
• First day of class: Everyone has to
show up for the first day of class. If you
are unable, you need to let us know, in
writing, before class starts. Otherwise,
you risk losing your seat.
• Attendance: All Norwegian courses
have mandatory attendance. This
means that if you attend less than 75% of
class, you will not be allowed to sit for
exams.
Rules for the courses
• Withdrawing from class: There is a limited number
of seats in the Norwegian language courses. This
means that if you know you won’t attend the course,
please come to the front office and withdraw. If you
don’t withdraw, you will be charged the entire course
fee.
You withdraw by filling in a form and handing it in.
• Withdrawing from exams: Deadline for withdrawing
from exams is 2 weeks before the exam. If you do
not withdraw in Student web, you will be registered
with a ”Not Met for Exams” in the Student Database
and it is considered as one of your three attempts at
the exam. If you withdraw from exams, you will still
have to pay the entire course fee.
