Full degree students and students participating in shorter programmes are obligated to pay their semester fees. International students participating in exchange programmes are exempt from the payment of semester fees. 

All students generate their semester fee invoice in Studentweb. For detailed information on how to do so, please view our semester registration webpage.

An application for a refund of paid fees must be sent to INN University within September 1st for the fall semester and February 1st for the spring semester. The application can be sent by email to giro@inn.no

Have you paid the semester fee at an other Norwegian university or University of applied science?

If you have paid a semester fee to another Norwegian university or university of applied sciences, you can send us documentation of this. The best documentation is a print screen from your Studentweb or Student ID app, proving you have paid and are an active student at that other institution. We will then withdraw the semester fee to the Student Association, but you still have to pay the Kopinor and ICT-fees for your studies at INN University.
