How to register for the semester
Log in at Studentweb
- The first time you log in, you must choose Norwegian ID number and PIN (not Feide!) at the login page.
- Choose Send new PIN to your email and enter your UiB registration number:
- The UiB registration number consists of 11 digits and is normally divided by a white space (6 + 5) when communicated to our students. When you use the number, you must make sure that you use it as an 11 digit number with no white space dividing it.
- Your PIN is used to log in at Studentweb, open a user account, and as the access code with your student card.
- Log in with your UiB registration number and PIN.
When you have opened a UiB user account, you can also choose to log in with your username (format xxx000) and personal password instead (using Feide).
