November 4: Physical sessions on session-based study programmes in 2020 are cancelled
Nord University follows the national and local advise for infection control. Based on an overall assessment of national advise and an increasing number of COVID-19 infections, the university has decided to cancel on-campus sessions on all session-based study programmes. This applies from November 9th and throughout 2020.
The faculties will consider alternative teaching activities that can or should be arranged for the students affected to be able to achieve the expected learning outcome in their studies and receive the necessary follow-up.
Students will receive further information from their faculty about how alternative teaching activities will be carried out.

Outbound exchange students: On Saturday evening, Nord University requested that all exchange students and joint degree students return to Norway, on the basis of advice from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises that Norwegian citizens consider returning to Norway in a calm and safe manner, in cooperation with their airline/travel agent.
Clarification: The Norwegian Government has closed the borders to foreign nationals with no pre-existing grounds for entering Norway. All Norwegian citizens, as well as foreign nationals with valid grounds, such as residency, will be permitted to return. The airports are as such not entirely closed.
>> NB: We ask that all Nord staff and students follow updates relating to students on the website of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (currently in Norwegian only).
