You must get an appointment at the police station to register and request your residence card. NHH usually gets a joint appointment for our students.
Please note that it may take several months before you get all the practicalities in order, and full access to your Sammen deposit.
Sammen may provide you with a maximum of two 9500 NOK-cash cards which you may use for day-to-day expenses while you wait for the refund of your deposit.
When you receive the first tuition invoice from NHH, you may forward it to Sammen and request that they pay it from your deposit, on your behalf.

Tuberculosis test
Students from countries with high occurence of tuberculosis are required to undergo a tuberculosis test shortly after arrival.

The test is free of charge.
