You cannot expect NHH to provide examination support materials that you can borrow, or extra batteries/pens. Come prepared!

This is an unofficial translation from the Norwegian version of the Supplementary regulations for the Regulations for the full-time studies and is provided for information purposes only. Authenticity remains with the Norwegian version. In the event of any inconsistency, the Norwegian version shall prevail.

Permitted examination support materials must be stated in the course description.

  Referencing

  If written support material is permitted during an assessment, this must be clearly stated in the course description. Both the support material and the category it belongs to must be stated there.

  Written support material used in an assessment must be marked with the candidate's name.

  From the spring semester 2023 NHH divides written support material into three different categories based on the degree of permitted processing:

  I - no processing (for example dictionaries)

  II - processing in accordande with established regulations

  III - all written support material and all processing permitted

  Category I

  In this category, no type of input or processing is permitted. The copy must be as "clean" as it was acquired.

  This category includes, for example, dictionaries.

  Electronic dictionaries are not permitted.

  Category II

  This category typically includes collections of laws, as well as special editions of laws and regulations, where processing is permitted as stipulated here:

  • References to other permitted support material
  • References to published court decisions
  • Candidates are allowed to underline words or parts of sentences, and use highlighters in multiple colours. Horizontal and vertical lines in the margin are permitted. Marking individual letters in the text to form words is not permitted.
  • Errors in references in permitted support material may be corrected using correction fluid. Removing printed text from support material is not permitted.
  • Indexing (tabs etc.) is permitted. Such tabs may only indicate the name or abbreviation of the act, the year, number or chapter headings exactly as they appear on the page that is indexed. Names of mathematical formulas are also permitted.

  References should be given as follows:

  • References to acts and regulations may only contain the title and/or date (number, if applicable), chapter, section and/or subsection, sentence, number or letter. Including several sources in the same reference, for example multiple subsections, is permitted.
  • References to published court decisions shall follow the following format: RG or RT (year)-(page) or in the form published in Lovdata.
  • Common abbreviations (such as sktl., asl. etc.) are permitted. A reference may, for example, be written as follows: strl.ikrl. § 25, opph. v.l. 25/2-72 nr.3.
  • References can only be introduced with the following words: repealed (opph.), amended (endr.), see (jf./jfr.), confer (cfr./krf.) or compare (sml.).
  • The individual subsections of a section and sentences in subsections may be numbered in consecutive order.

  Electronic devices do NOT fall into this category.

  Category III

  In this category, all written support material and all processing of these are permitted.

  Electronic devices do NOT fall into this category.
