Special Needs and Absence

Candidates with disabilities or health problems that cause significant disadvantages in an exam situation are entitled to apply for special accommodation.

Students have equal rights but different prerequisites and needs in order to participate in the learning process. You can apply for accommodations in your study everyday life if you have a disability, illness, or specific needs.

You may require leave of absence some time during your studies. Leave of absence must have a minimum duration of one semester, and can be permitted for up to a maximum of one academic year or two consecutive semesters.

The Norwegian Library of Talking Books and Braille (NLB) produces and lends academic literature in audiobook format. The library caters for students with dyslexia, impaired vision, ADHD or other reading difficulties.

Have you completed courses at other institutions, or fulfilled credit requirements through approved seminars or classes outside the Norwegian Academy of Music? There are two transfer credit options.

You may apply for an exemption if you have already completed an equivalent course at the Norwegian Academy of Music or another institution. You should submit your application at the start of the semester.
