Tuition fees by school year (VG1, VG2, VG3)

- Tuition: NOK 0 per term / NOK 0 per year for VG1, VG2 and VG3. Public videregående opplæring is provided without tuition charges.

- Yearly IKT (school computer) lease: Bjørnholt offers a school loan PC/Mac scheme. Students who borrow a device pay an annual lease equal to the lowest annual equipment stipend (utstyrsstipend) from Statens Lånekasse; the school issues the invoice after semester start in the autumn. The lowest equipment-stipend band for 2025/2026 is NOK 1,398 per year, so the annual IKT lease charge is NOK 1,398 (per year while the device is on loan). Students who pay the lease for three years may be offered to take over the device without further charge under the school's terms.

- Summary by year group (applicable charges):
- VG1: Tuition NOK 0 per term / NOK 0 per year. IKT lease (if loaned): NOK 1,398 per year (invoice sent after autumn semester start).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school sends an invoice for the annual IKT lease after semester start in the autumn. The invoice will specify payment deadline and payment details. If a student does not return a borrowed device, the school issues an invoice for the lost device. All invoiced amounts must be paid to the school as stated on each invoice.

- Other routine charges (examples): charges for optional study trips, subject-specific consumables or protective clothing for vocational subjects, and purchases in the canteen are handled separately and are not tuition. The school operates a canteen where students purchase food at set prices. The school also runs a free daily school bus service for students and staff.

Boarding fees

- Not applicable. Bjørnholt videregående skole is a day school in Oslo and does not operate boarding/internat facilities.

Other costs or fees

- School meals: Students buy food from the school canteen; these are pay-as-you-go purchases (no mandatory meal plan).

- Subject-specific equipment and clothing: Students on certain programmes may need to supply or pay for specialised clothing or equipment (for example vocational protective gear). Many students can apply for the Lånekassen utstyrsstipend to cover such costs. The Lånekassen equipment stipend ranges by programme; for 2025/2026 the band is NOK 1,398 to NOK 7,202 depending on programme.

- Optional school trips and extracurricular activity fees: Where activities incur direct costs (travel, accommodation, entry fees), students or parents are asked to pay those costs; such activities are separate from compulsory tuition. (Costs vary by activity and will be stated in the activity's information and invoice.)

Refund information

- Since there is no tuition or application fee, refund rules for tuition do not apply.

- IKT equipment: if a borrowed device is not returned or is lost, the school issues an invoice for the replacement/lost equipment. Ownership transfer conditions (for example overtake after three paid lease years) are handled according to the school's IKT agreement.

Fee payment options

- IKT lease and other school invoices are issued by the school; payment is made according to the invoice details (the school issues the invoice after semester start for IKT lease). Specific payment methods (bank transfer, invoice reference, e‑invoice, AvtaleGiro, credit card, Vipps) are given on each invoice or payment request from the school. For fundraising and some school collections the school accepts direct bank transfer and Vipps.
