-Exams taken abroad at an embassy, consulate or higher education institution: NOK 1,000 per exam.
The fee does not apply to students studying abroad at another institution as part of an exchange programme, nor does it apply to students taking oral examinations online.
Students must also cover the fees (for exam invigilators, venue, administration etc.) required by the institution where the exam is taking place. You must pay this directly to the examination venue.
External students taking an exam at Østfold University College
Students from other university colleges/universities who are not registered as students at Østfold University College must pay NOK 1,000 per exam and additional costs relating to exam invigilators.
