Accommodation

As a student, you are entitled to accommodations that help ensure you have good opportunities for learning and development. Our goal is to provide you with an educational environment where you can achieve your academic goals on an equal footing with your fellow students.

If you require educational accommodations, please contact the administration at your faculty directly.

As a general rule, practical training should not be facilitated, but students with disabilities or other special needs may apply for facilitation in practical training, cf. the University and College Act § 10-5 (only in Norwegian).

The facilitation must not constitute a disproportionate burden for the institution, or lead to a reduction of the academic requirements set in the subject.

In order to have a practical subject assessed as passed, the requirement for attendance in practice must be met.

It is not possible to obtain exemption from or reduction of hours in practice.

It is not possible to apply for exemption from the working hours scheme at the practice site.

The study is considered the student's main occupation. Work, research or financial conditions do not provide a basis for facilitation in practice.

Do you have a health problem or a disability that creates challenges during the exam? Then you can apply for exam accommodations such as extended exam time or the use of a dictionary. You can read more about exam accommodations once you have become a student with us on My Page.

If you have challenges that give you reduced reading ability, you can borrow audiobooks, e-books, and Braille books from Tibi – the library for adapted literature.

The offer is free, and you can apply to become a borrower here: Sign up - Tibi (only in Norwegian)

If you need to take a break from your studies, you can apply for a leave of absence or extended study period. You can find more information about this on My Page (login required).

You can explore accessibility on campus in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger in the digital map MazeMap. Here you can see, among other things, the location of elevators and disabled toilets.

At VID Oslo, VID Bergen and VID Stavanger, we have quiet rooms that students can use regardless of religious affiliation.

In the quiet rooms, you can retreat to pray, meditate, rest and be alone. The rooms are equipped with Bibles, Korans and Islamic prayer rugs.
