The first thing you need to do as a new student is create a Feide account and password in the activation portal. After you have completed registration, your Feide account will give you access to most of our online services, such as StudentWeb and the online learning platform Canvas.
- In order to create a Feide account, you must have accepted your offer.
- It may take up to 24 hours from you accept your offer until you have access to activate your account. If you receive an error message, wait a few hours before trying again.
We recommend using a laptop rather than mobile or tablet, to ensure that you see all the checkboxes on your screen.
- Go to the activation portal.
- Enter your surname and date of birth.
- Provide your e-mail address (the same as you used in your application for admission) so that we can send you an activation code.
- Enter the activation code that you receive via email.
- Enter a new password, at least 8 characters in length with both numbers and capital/lower case letters.
- Your Feide-account is now activated. Your username is your student number (provided in your welcome letter) and your password is the one you entered in step 5 above.
- You can now proceed to registration in StudentWeb, see below.
All students studying at Nord University, except exchange students from other partner institutions, must pay the semester fee. If you are an exchange student go directly to step 3.
Semester fees cover general administrative costs and are not tuition fees. If you are an degree student with citizenship outside the EU/EEA/Swiss area you will need to pay tuition fees.Log in to StudentWeb

Semester ID?
You need to be able to show that your student card is valid for the current semester. There are two ways of doing this.Option 1: Download digital student ID
Download the app from App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) or Windows Store (Windows).
Log in with the username and password you created when you activated your account. If you have paid the semester fee and registered, this information will show up in a yellow box at the bottom of the page.
Check that a photo of you is registered in the app. If you have ordered your student card, and taken a photo in the photo box, this should appear in the app. If you do not have a photo registered in the app, you will need to use another form of photo ID when you show your semester ID.
The semester receipt is saved in the app itself, so you do not need to be connected to the internet to show semester ID.
