Semester course
Half-year courses are available on some lines. Half-year courses cost 50% of the price for full-year courses.
This includes:
- All travel, all teaching materials, food and rooms - and really everything you need as a student at school except pocket money.
- You pay NOK 2 in registration fee when you confirm that you accept the school place. This is included in the total price, but you will not get this back if you give up your place.
Bank fees are additional.

Elverum FHS costs less - and you get more!
A year at Elverum Folkehøgskole costs an average of NOK 89, when you deduct NOK 55 in grants.
Here you get "everything included": food, electricity, Wi-Fi, rent and transport to activities with the school.
In addition, you get mainstream subjects, elective subjects, social programmes, materials and access to classrooms, equipment and study trips!
Not least, you get committed teachers who follow you up and work to ensure that you experience mastery and development.
You will receive a diploma for the completed school year, and two additional points for further education.
Extraordinary circumstances
Route plans, school plans and study tours may be changed if natural disasters or other external and extraordinary circumstances occur that are beyond the school's control and which significantly affect the implementation. In the event of changes, no financial compensation is normally given. We will do our best to work out good alternative solutions if a trip or a plan cannot be carried out.
