Who can apply?

• Other weighty reasons beyond your control

How to apply?

The application for postponed study start must be sent to postmottak@khio.no within 3 weeks of receiving the offer of a study place. The application must be documented. Valid documentation can be a medical certificate, birth certificate, or confirmation of pregnancy, proof of military service, etc. Documentation containg sensitive information should be delivered or sent by regular mail to the following address :

How do you begin your studies after a postponed start?

When you have been granted a postponed start of studies, you can start the study programme at the ordinary start of studies in the semester to which you have been granted a postponement. 

You need to reapply through the application portal Søknadsweb within the application deadline. You do not need to upload documentation again, only a copy of the email/letter you received from KHiO. Leave a comment in Søknadsweb that you have been guaranteed a study place. You will receive an admission offer when the admission process is finalized. Remember to accept the offer within the deadline.

You are guaranteed a spot as long as you follow the regular admission procedures.
