As a student at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration (NHH) you must each semester pay a fee to the Student Welfare Organization in Bergen (SiB). In the first semester, a giro form for the semester fee is included in your welcome folder. Please remark that a giro form is issued only the first semester – in future semesters you will be able to access the payment information yourself in StudentWeb.
If you for some reason have taken a break from your studies at NHH, you will not automatically receive this giro form/payment information. In such situations you have to order a new giro from the Office for Academic and Student Affairs (Studentekspedisjonen).
The semester fee is p.t. NOK 440. This amount includes a semester fee of NOK 400, NOK 20 to NHH Aid and NOK 20 to the Norwegian Student’s and Academic’s International Assistant Fund (SAIH). The semester fee is fixed by SiBs general board, based on a recommendation from the Welfare Assembly (Velferdstinget). The fee covers expenses related to SiB’s welfare services (kindergartens, sports facilities, psychical and social services, refunds in connection with medical care and health refunds). Approx. one third of the fee (excluding the NSU fee (the Norwegian students’ union)) is used on supporting student democracy activities. When the semester fee has been paid you can make use of all the services provided by SiB. For more information please visit their website.
The suopport to NHH Aid and SAIH is voluntary. If you do not wish to support their work, you can have the payment refunded using the following webforms:
