What your contribution pays for

The semester fee is NOK 700 per semester (June 2026). The money is used to develop and fund student welfare services. Decisions about how the money is spent are made by the students through the Student Welfare Councils in Gjøvik, Ålesund and Trondheim.

The semester fee primarily funds welfare services such as:
