Diploma
Diplomas are issued to students who complete a degree or vocational training programme. Diplomas contain the student’s grades and a description of the study programme.
In the spring of 2022, Nord University introduced digital diplomas to our graduating students. The diploma will be available in the Diploma Registry.
If you are an international student, you will receive a paper diploma. Read more under Paper Diplomas below.
In the
Diploma Registry, you will find your results achieved at higher education institutions in Norway. Here you can share your results digitally with other educational institutions, potential employers and other parties. From the registry, you can print and share your diploma. The service is free of charge.
Access to the Diploma Registry:
To gain access to the Diploma Registry, former students must have a Norwegian national identity number or
D number. If you have a D number, you are advised to obtain an electronic ID, for example MinID.

Unfortunately, not all results are recorded in the registry. In that case, contact your educational institution and request a transcript of records or confirmation of your degree.
In the spring of 2022, Nord University introduced digital diplomas to our graduating students. Students will find their diplomas and confirmation of grade in the Diploma Registry. However, international students will still receive a paper diploma.

If you move from Norway, you need to send an e-mail to exam@nord.no with the address to which you want the diploma sent to.
