Students with Special Needs
If you have a disability and need special arrangements, please contact the Faculty of Social Sciences by sending an email to the advice@svfa.uib.no as soon as possible. We can help you find solutions to support your learning environment experience.
Special Arrangments for Examinations
The special arrangements are meant to compensate for disadvantages such as illness, injury or disability, enabling candidates to be tested as equally as possible. You will find all the necessary information here.
Learning Agreement and Certificate of Arrival
We prefer to sign the Learning Agreement in the EWP (Erasmus Without Paper) Dashboard. If your home institution does not use this tool, you can send the Learning Agreement to our information centre via email, advice@svfa.uib.no, or or obtain a signature in person.
The certificate of arrival will be automatically issued once you have received your student card. The document can be downloaded from Studentweb, the course registration platform at UiB.
