Student ID on your mobile phone
For a valid semester receipt in the student ID app you must:
- have registered as a student in Studentweb?and
- have paid the semester fee to SiO at UiO or be an exchange student at UiO
- be admitted to
- a study program
- or to a course, with exam registration.
The picture in the app is the same as you have on your access card. It will be sent automatically to the app. Read more?about?the access?card and how to obtain it.?Do you not have an access card? You can still use the student ID app, but in that case together with valid identification.
You can find the app as Student ID+ in the App Store and Google Play. Information about the new app from the developers at Sikt.
European Student Card
You can also use the Student ID app as a European Student Card (ESC) if you have a Norwegian ID number?(not a Norwegian D number), but not if you are a single course student or a PhD-candidate. This means that University of Oslo programme students with the app can use their student ID across Europe to get student discounts and possibly other student benefits. Read more about the ESC on the European Commission's website. You must consent to the transfer of your data in Studentweb.
The student ID is valid
- until 31 January in the autumn semester
- until 31 August in the spring semester.
Is the app not showing the current semester? Touch the three dots / gearwheel in the upper right in the app and select "Update" (requires internet access). In the digital student ID app, the semester receipt for autumn is visible from 1 July, and the semester receipt for spring is visible from 1 January.
If you don't have a smartphone, you can order a semester receipt on paper that together with the access card is an alternative student ID. Contact Knutepunktet - International Student Reception to order. Be aware that Ruter does not acknowledge this alternative student ID.
