Other resources
Canvas
Once you have completed the semester registration in Studentweb, you should access Canvas. Canvas is the e-learning platform NIH uses. All courses have their own course page, where information regarding the course is posted and assignments are published.
Once the course page for the course you have registered for is published, you will gain access to this. Course pages should be up and running by the beginning of the semester (August or January). You can see all course materials and modules for a specific course on the course page.
Follow the guide on how to change the language settings and where to find your courses.
Wiseflow
Wiseflow is the online examination system NIH uses. Your final exam for your courses must be submitted via this system.
You can find more information regarding Wiseflow under our Exam and counselling pages. Prior to every exam you will receive and email from the examination office that your "flow" (exam) is open and you can access it via the system. Once the exam opens you will find the actual exam.
When you have completed your exam, you must upload the document (must be a .pdf file) in Wiseflow. Requirements for the document is available under "Submission of Home Exams".
Normally the exam periods are during the following months:
- Fall semester courses (August to December): November/December
- Spring semester courses (January to June): April/May
Transcript
NIH no longer send out transcripts via post or email to institutions, due to GDPR regulations. Students completed courses at NIH must download the transcript themselves and share it with their own institution.
The Norwegian government created an online portal (Vitnemålsportalen) where all grades from courses completed in Norway is available for students, partly as a measurement so students can share their results with their home universities. The transcripts have a digital signature. This digitally, signed transcript is a valid transcript, that can be verified for its authenticity by clicking on the stamp/signature on the bottom of the page.
It is important that students download their transcript before their active student status expires. You can find this information under "Studies" in Studentweb.
