🔄 Incoming exchange students: how to change your courses after arrival

Note: As an incoming exchange student, you may only enrol in courses you have been admitted to. Any changes to your approved course selection must be approved by UiT and your home institution.

📅 Deadlines for course changes

• 1 February – Spring semester (January–June)
• 1 September – Autumn semester (August–December)

✅ When can you make changes?

You may request changes to your approved courses if:

• There is a timetable conflict between approved courses.
• A previously approved course is no longer offered by UiT.
• A course is not approved by your home institution.
• A course is taught in a different language than stated in the Course Catalogue.
• You are extending your exchange period (maximum two semesters).
