Kjeller and Sandvika campuses closed
OsloMet's campuses at Sandvika and Kjeller are still closed. OsloMet is working with SiO, the welfare organisation for students in Oslo, to establish corona testing at Kjeller so that campus Kjeller can be opened.
Updated 15 April at 4 pm:
The Government has decided that libraries and study areas at campus Kjeller can be opened to students, provided that the students are tested regularly for the coronavirus.
Kjeller will also open for students who are dependent on experiments or skill training that cannot be completed digitally, and where it is necessary to maintain study progression. These students must also be tested for the coronavirus regularly.
OsloMet is working together with SiO to put such testing in place. Campus Kjeller will open as soon as this is done. Until then, campus Kjeller is closed.
More information for students and employees at Kjeller to come.
