At Campus Bjergsted, you need your own key tag to get around inside the buildings.
Electronic key system
The Faculty of Performing Arts consists of several buildings in Bjergsted campus; the main building, building nr. 2 (new dance halls), as well as block 5, 6, 7 and 8. Access to the buildings is regulated by an electronic key system. At the start of studies, new students has to apply for a studentcard in Studentweb. When you recieve the student card you have to go to the administration at Campus Bjergsted to get it activated for the doors here.
To access the school facilities in Bjergstedparken, students use their personal student card as a key card. Our students need a physical student card—unfortunately, a digital card cannot be used.
It is therefore advisable for new students to obtain a student card as soon as possible. The student card can be ordered once the student payment has been completed.
Here’s what you need to do to get a physical student card:
After you have paid the semester fee and registered for the semester, send an email to drift@uis.no from your UiS student email (not a private email).
In the email, include your full name, student number, and mobile number, and upload a photo of yourself.
Note: The student card is produced at the Ullandhaug campus. If you want the card to be sent via internal mail to the Bjergsted campus, you must write in the email: “Send the card via internal mail to Bjergsted.” If you do not include this, you will have to go to Ullandhaug to pick up the card yourself.
You can collect your student card at the reception at Bjergsted campus. The card is activated at the same location to grant access to the buildings. The reception is usually open from 11:00 to 12:00 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but during week 33, we have extended opening hours:
Monday and Tuesday: 10:00 – 12:00
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday: 10:00 – 13:00
The student card is personal and must not be transferred to others. Violation of this rule may result in your student card being deactivated.
It is also possible to obtain a digital student card through the app Studentbevis. The digital card cannot be used as a key card but can be used in addition to the physical card.
The student crd is personal and must not be passed on to others. Violation of this rule may result in confiscation of the student card.

Upon completion of studies, an electronically completed reimbursement form together with keys and chip must be submitted to the expedition. Only then will the deposit be refunded.
