Deadline for applications

1 March is the ordinary application deadline for those who are applying to upper secondary school.

1 February is the application deadline if you have special needs.

You must apply within 1 February if you

• have an individual decision about special language education.
• are applying for preferential rights or individual treatment.
• have recently arrived in Norway.

Application for preferential rights

Some groups of applicants may be prioritized first for admission to upper secondary school.

This applies to you who are

• entitled to special education and at the same time have special needs that mean that you have to take a specific education programme in order to complete your education.
• very reduced functional ability and need adaptation.
• entitled to instruction in and through the medium of sign language.

Application for individual treatment

Your application will be treated individually, without regard to points, if you

• have had special education in primary and lower secondary school and lack a grade in more than half the subjects.
• have had strengthened language education in primary and lower secondary school and lack a grade in more than half the subjects.
• must be treated individually for other, especially weighty reasons.

You are entitled to admission to one of the three education programmes you applied to, but you are not necessarily entitled to admission to a specific education programme.
