• You have been registered at the same level before. This also applies if you without further notice never showed for the course or dropped out.
• You registered after the deadline.
• You are a native speaker of Swedish or Danish.

Note that students under the Quota Scheme and some other students on international master's degree programs may not be allowed to take Norwegian courses in their first semester of study.  Please contact the study administrator for your master's program to find out if this applies to you.
