How to read this page

You're either an incoming exchange student or an international master's student. Most steps are the same, but a few differ — we've noted which is which.

Remember the practical things you must arrange — semester fee, registration, student card and more. You'll find your checklist in UiBtreet, UiB's student portal.

1. Get started

Do these first. The rest of the practical steps are in your checklist in UiBtreet.

Activate your UiB user account. You'll get an email explaining how. Do it as soon as it arrives, and set up two-factor login.

Log in to UiBtreet. Your checklist is there: semester fee, registration, student card and the student ID app.
