Unfortunately this is not yet available at Campus Kongsberg.

In Bø, Notodden, Porsgrunn, Rauland, Ringerike and Vestfold the PIN is ready to use after a few minutes. 

In Drammen the PIN is ready to be used the day after you changed it. If you need to change the immediately, you must contact Securitas located in the reseption. You should also change the PIN at account.usn.no afterwards.

NB! When activating a USN user account, you should wait about an hour before setting your PIN code. If you set your PIN code before the system has had time to create your user information in the access control system (controls campus doors), the PIN code cannot be matched to the correct person.
