Special arrangements during exams
If you need special arrangements during examinations, you can apply for this within the given deadlines. If your need is permanent, the arrangements you receive will apply for the entire period you are a student at HiMolde. The need for facilitation must be documented in English or Norwegian, for example by a medical certificate.
Mentoring
Mentoring is an offer for students who have a special agreement with the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV). If you wish to have a mentor, you must talk to your counselor in NAV about this offer.
A mentor is a fellow student who offers you support during your studies. You can discuss topics connected to your studies and do exercises with a mentor. A mentor helps you with motivation and contributes in planning your daily study routine. A mentor can also help you socialise with other students.
Dyslexia
Lingdys and Lingpilot are software programmes that assist students with dyslexia. You can apply to use Lingdys and Lingpilot during your exams at HiMolde (see special arrangements of exams). Our computer labs have machines with the software installed.
If you need Lindys and Lingpilot installed on your own machine, and can document dyslexia, you can contact the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) to have expenses covered for installing the progamme on your machine.

Syllabus as an audiobook
Combining reading the syllabus yourself or having the syllabus read out load for you may help if you have reading and writing difficulties, visual impairment or difficulty concentrating. You can apply for a loan or production right yourself at the The Norwegian Library of Talking Books and Braille (NLB).
Aids
