Although these organizations have the strategic responsibility for student facilities, the practical responsibility has been delegated to SiT. Our activities are subject to law, and the Ministry of Education and Research ensures that SiT's work is carried out according to regulations.
Some of the activities are financed by the semester fee, which all students are expected to pay to SiT. In addition, SiT runs a number of facilities for students, such as student housing, cafes and bookshops. We aim to provide essential services to students at the lowest possible cost - yet make enough profit to cover the expences. SiT is also involved in external, commercial activities such as a travel agency and an academic press. The profits from these operations also benefit students in Trondheim.
