    Students are also admitted at other times, such as an engineering pre-course (summer course). Those concerned will receive information directly from the study administration.

FEIDE services

This information applies to USN user accounts where you select the University of South-Eastern Norway as an affiliate when logging in via Feide.

One important site that gives you useful information about Feide is https://innsyn.feide.no/.
This site is great for testing that everything is fine with your Feide account. 

In the “My info” tab, you will find all the information registered about you in ITs user database. 

The “Consent” tab gives you an overview of the Feide services you have logged into and accepted the transfer of data to. You can also withdraw consent for one or more services in this tab if you no longer need to log in to them. 

The “Services” tab provides an overview of the Feide services USN subscribes to.

 

If you want access to a Feide service that USN does not subscribe to, send an inquiry to it-support@usn.no. Feel free to send with the link to the login page on the relevant service as this simplifies the processing of your request.

 

During 2023, USN will introduce strong authentication (two-factor login) on some Feide services. We started with Nettskjema on April 25. After the usual Feide login, an additional login window appears with two choices - Azure AD and ID-porten. Anyone can use Azure AD. This is the Microsoft account you use at USN, i.e. <username>@usn.no. Here you will occasionally be told to confirm login with the Authenticator app, such as when logging in to MS365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, etc.). To be able to use ID-porten, you must have a Norwegian social security number and a BankID, MinID or Buypass ID. If you know that the Feide service you are going to log into requires strong authentication, then you can save some time by logging in directly via Azure ("Use work or school account") or ID-porten at the bottom of the first Feide login window. NB! If you have both an active student user account and an employee user account, you cannot use ID-porten when logging in to Feide!
