All applicants – except those permanently residing in Norway – are required to submit a health certificate from a medical doctor upon admission to the ISS. A special health certificate form will be sent out together with the letter of admission.

With the exception of participants aged 67 and above, all participants (if fees due have been paid) will be covered by a Norwegian Group Insurance Policy during the six-week Summer School session. This policy covers actual expenses incurred in the Schengen area for sickness or accident up to a maximum amount of EUR 30,000.

The regular premium for health insurance is included in the Basic Fee. It should be understood that while every effort will be made to protect the health and safety of students while in Norway, the University of Oslo cannot accept any responsibility for accident or illness. Those intending to travel before returning home may secure extended coverage for up to 30 days under the regular insurance policy by paying an additional premium. Contact the ISS Office for further information.

Dental work is not covered unless made necessary by an accident occurring during the stay of the insured party in Norway. Dental accidents incurred while eating are not covered. Obstetric care, chronic illness, illness without objective symptoms and illness that has shown symptoms during the preceding twelve months are likewise not covered by this insurance.
