Incoming ERASMUS, Nordplus/Nordlys and most bilateral exchange students do not have to pay a semester fee invoice, which includes the Kopinor fee and SAIH-contribution. They will automatically be registered with an exemption, and can receive a valid semester receipt in the digital student ID app/semester receipt on paper from UiO. They are able to take advantage of many of SIO's welfare offers.
Deadlines
- Autumn: 1 September
- Spring: 1 February
Payment info in Studentweb

Payment amounts
- Semester fee to SiO - the student welfare organisation: NOK 690
- Kopinor fee to UiO: NOK 220 (NOK 110 for defined part-time studies of 50% or less). The fee helps cover parts of UiO's expenses to Kopinor for the use of copyrighted materials for students.
- SAIH contribution: NOK 50. If you do not wish to support SAIH, subtract NOK 50 from the total invoice amount. If you have paid and want a refund, please see SAIH's online refund form.
Kopinor fee and Kopinor agreement
All active students must pay the Kopinor fee. This applies even if you are, for example, travelling on an exchange programme from UiO. (Note that incoming ERASMUS, Nordplus/Nordlys and most bilateral exchange students do not pay the Kopinor fee to UiO.)
Are you paying the semester fee to more than one student organisation? The Kopinor fee must be paid to UiO together with the semester fee, even if you also pay the semester fee and Kopinor fee to another student organisation.
Are you a single subject student? Your invoice for paying the Kopinor fee, NOK 110, will be available in Studentweb early in February for the spring semester and early in September for the autumn semester. You will receive an email when you can pay.
There is a difference between paying the Kopinor fee and purchasing prints.
Use and sharing of teaching materials
Through the Kopinor agreement, students and staff have a limited right to take paper copies, prints and digital copies of published material, without having to obtain permission from the rights holders. Read more about what this means for you as a student.
