Confirmations and verifications

In most cases where you need confirmation/verification, you can use your digital student ID or paper semester receipt, Diploma Registry, transcripts, diplomas or decision/admission letter.

You already have confirmation/verification of the following:

  • That you are a student - the semester receipt confirms that you are a student this semester and that you have paid the semester fee.
  • Start and end of the semester - you will find the academic calendar on our website.
  • Leave of absence - this is confirmed in your decision letter.
  • The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund will automatically be notified that you are registered as a student and which examinations you have taken.
  • From the Diploma Registry you can digitally share your results (subject, semester, credits and grades) with others. If you need the results on paper, you can order a transcript.
    • If you require verification for World Education Services (WES), please consult the "required documents" section (under Credential Evaluations) of the WES website to learn how to use the Diploma Registry to fulfill their requirements.
  • Degree - if you have received a diploma, you have confirmation of your degree.

When can you ask for confirmation/verification?

  • If authorities in Norway (e.g. NAV or Helsedirektoratet) or in your home country require additional documentation of your student status.
  • If you need to postpone military service. Confirmation can be sent to your conscription office together with your application.
  • It is your faculty which decides whether or not they can provide confirmation.
