StOr
Student Union (StOr) represents all the 7500 students at UiS. Its focus is on students’ welfare and rights, culture and political issues as well as the overall quality of education. It is organised on different levels according to the different activities at the University. The highest level is the student parliament with a total of 15 student members. The President and Vice-President work full time, so that the students can have a better experience at UiS. StOr also fights for the individual students to ensure their rights. StOr is an umbrella organisation of The National Union of Students in Norway (NSU).
At the beginning of the semester in August, StOr arranges Fadder, the mentor programme for all new students at UiS. The mentor programme is important for a good introduction to student life. This programme gives the opportunity to get to know new students and previous students at UiS and to become familiar with the University campus. As a great deal of information is given during this week, it is essential that new students arrive in time to participate in the entire programme.

International Student Union (ISU)
ISU-Stavanger is a branch of ISU Norway, a non-profit organisation run by and for international students. On a national level, ISU works in co-operation with NSU.
ISU is a democratic organisation. Every international student who has a student ID-card and has paid the semester fee is qualified to be a member or a supporter of ISU. Those studying at PhD programs are also included. ISU-Stavanger welcomes any Norwegian student at UiS who is interested in joining the organisation as well. All members have the right to run for office and to vote.
The main aim of the ISU is to ensure that the rights and interests of all international students are suitably represented and protected. ISU identifies the problems faced by international students and tries to find solutions. The second important aim of ISU is to provide and organise international students’ social life.
