Covid-19

Updated 16 February

For the second time around, we are glad to return to relatively normal operations following the government's decision to lift all national Covid-19 measures. 

• Students and employees no longer need to keep a distance or wear a face mask when moving around on campus.
• Students no longer need to register if they are infected with Covid-19.
• Teaching is carried out in the classroom without restrictions.

Please note that the following still applies:

• Stay home if you are sick or have symptoms of Covid-19
• Keep good hand hygiene and cough etiquette. Hand sanitizers will remain available on campus.
• Self-test kits and face masks will be available in the reception on all campuses as long as the stock lasts.

Updated 16 February

Campus is open and BI will now offer physical teaching on campus without any restrictions. All lectures will still be available via live stream or Zoom.

Full-time programmes:

• The lectures will run with 100% capacity in the classroom.
• Students no longer need to register for participation.
• Some courses will continue as digital only. These will appear as “Zoom lecture” in the schedule.

Executive/Corporate programmes:

• The lectures will run with 100% capacity in the classroom.
• There will be specific arrangements for the different courses and programmes. Students must pay attention to the information provided by their course coordinator.

FHI will allow students to vaccinate in the city they study in, regardless of their nationally registered address. In addition, students will have the opportunity to get the two vaccine doses set in different cities.

We advise our students to register their request for vaccination in the city they are staying in. The registration will not place you forward in the queue for vaccination, but is especially important for those that are staying in a different city than the one they are nationally registered in.

Oslo

• Register request for vaccination on the city of Oslo's web pages

The city of Oslo offers drop-in for both the first and second dose for all students living in Oslo. 

• The first vaccine dose is offered as a drop-in at the municipality's vaccine centers or by booking an appointment here: https://www.helseboka.app/checkin/staff/922006/login
• If you have received the first vaccine dose in another city, but want the second dose in Oslo, you can register your interest  here: https://www.helseboka.app/checkin/staff/2858577/login
• International students who do not have a Bank-ID or Norwegian identity number need to call the corona helpline at 21 80 21 82 to register their request for vaccination.
