All students who have completed a degree will automatically receive a digital diploma, which will be available in the Diploma Portal and in Studentweb. The diplomas will be produced in June and will be available before the deadline for submitting additional documents when applying for admission to other studies. If you complete the program at a different time, you can order the diploma by contacting the examination office.
You will not receive a diploma after completing a one-year program, but it will be reflected in the Diploma Portal that you have completed the program.
Transcripts
You can order a transcript of records in StudentWeb, but you can also share your results from the Diploma Registry.
Diploma supplement
The Diploma Supplement is an English, official document accompanying the diploma which gives a supplementary description of the obtained qualification. It is useful when applying for jobs or recognition of qualifications, as well as in connection with further studies abroad. Please note that the DS is only a supplement to the diploma, concerning one specific degree obtained by one individual graduate, which is valid only together with the specific diploma.
Paper version
Your digital diploma is an original document that follows an international standard. However, if you are applying for admission to a foreign educational institution or for work outside Norway, and there is a requirement for paper copies of your diploma and Diploma Supplement, you can order it by sending an email to the Examination Office. The documents will be sent to the home address you have registered in Studentweb, and the processing time is normally three weeks.
Note! A diploma is final, and it is not possible to have any grade improvements added to a diploma that has already been issued. We also do not issue a new diploma in connection with a name change. The name on the diploma should reflect the name the student had when completing the program.
