The purpose of this guide is to help you understand how to find the information you need to register for classes, i.e. course title, code and exam date. You will also need to know when and where the classes are given and where the lecture halls are located. Hopefully this guide will make it easier to find out what you need to know.

1. MAKE A LIST OF YOUR COURSES

WHICH COURSE? Make a list of the course codes for courses you listed on your application and which you were approved for.

For example:
TDT4230 Visualization
POL1003 Environmental Politics

• If you do not remember, please contact the Office of International Relations.
• If you want to take a course for which you were not previously approved then you must contact the department/faculty for approval. (Suggestion: Prepare a list of the courses you would like to take, but which you had not previously received permission to take. Ask the departmental advisor to sign and stamp next to the course they are approving. Submit this list when you submit your registration form,. This way the Office of International Relations can see that you have obtained permission to take the course(s) you have listed.)

Course information:

• The on-line catalog provides an English description of the courses being offered at NTNU. (Notice search options to the left!)
• The Norwegian on-line catalogs provide the most up-to-date information of what is offered. You will find the Norwegian catalogues quite useful even if you don't know a word of Norwegian.
• If you are taking courses on graduate level you might also be interested in checking the catalog for the International Master's programs . Click HERE for the catalog.
• Here you will find an overview of all courses offered in English (pdf)
• Hard copies of the catalogues are available in the Main Library or International House (but they may not be taken home). They can also be purchased from university bookstore run by SiT .

2 . CHECK THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT COURSE CODE

CORRECT COURSE CODE? Course codes sometimes change. To check if you have the correct code you should first check the English on-line catalog . If you don't find what you need there then check the Norwegian course catalogs. If you are having trouble, please ask at the faculty office or the Office of International Relations .

You can find out which faculty/department a given course "belongs" to by using the list www.ntnu.no/international/departments.

3. FIND WHEN AND WHERE THE COURSE IS GIVEN

WHEN? To find out when and where the course is given (lecture times and location) please see the course schedule (TIMEPLAN). The list is alphabetical by course code. Click on the course code for information on the time and place the course will be taught and who is teaching it.

In some cases it may say:"Spørsmål om undervisning og timeplan rettes til instituttet som gir undervisning i emnet." Basically this means if you have questions about the course or the schedule go to the department offering the course and ask.

In order to understand the course schedule (TIMEPLAN), you will need to know a few Norwegian terms:

NORWEGIAN	ENGLISH
Timeplan	Course schedule
Tid	Time
Uke	Week (These are the weeks the course is given.) Example 2-11, 13-18: means that lectures are given weeks 2-11, no lectures week 12, lectures weeks 13-18
Sted	Place
Lærer	Teacher
Planlagt	Who the course is designed for
Forelesning	Lectures
