Visiting student

National guest arrangement among student welfare organizations 

When you have paid a semester fee to your student welfare organization (studentsamskipnad), you are also eligible for large parts of the services from other student welfare organizations around the country.

The guest arrangement may e.g. be relevant if you take a subject, write a thesis or you are stationed as a trainee/practicant somewhere other than where you usually study.
