Easily available help and support
Do you have any questions? Do you need someone to talk to about small or big things in life? Do you need help finding an association or something else to join? Is there something going on in the flat share you live in?
On campus, you can meet an easily accessible counsellor/coordinator who you can talk to about these things and much more. In short, most things that concern you as a student - in your life outside your studies.
If you are already involved in student volunteering, you can also get help and support with student association work. If you want to get in touch with the associations on your campus, the student relations advisor/coordinator is also the person to talk to!
👉 At the moment there is no counselor for student relations physically present at Campus Ringerike. Please contact us via the button and we will help you:

Students from EU/EEA countries or Switzerland:
Students from an EU/EEA country or Switzerland are entitled to necessary medical attention at treatment locations associated with the public health service. Upon presentation of a European Health Insurance Card they will be charged the same amount as Norwegians pay for the same health service.
Students from countries outside the EU/EEA:
Students from countries outside the EU/EEA are not entitled to coverage for costs of medical treatment from the Norwegian National Insurance scheme and are not entitled to get their medical expences compensated. Students in this category must pay the excess/fee when using GP services in accordance with the standard tariff for patients not covered by the National Insurance scheme for each appointment/consultation.
Additional services such as taking blood samples or other medical procedures/tests are not included in this example. Students from outside the EU/EEA must pay the full cost of GP visits and seek a refund from their private travel insurance policy.
