Using your UiO e-mail UiO has an online based e-mail client called Outlook Web Access. You can log on at mail.uio.no. It is a student obligation to read your e-mail from UiO (or you may miss out on important information). Though we do not recommend it, you can set up forwarding to your other e-mail address if this is what you prefer

Printing Computers at campus There are smaller computer labs connected to most departments spread across campus. The best facilities are however in Sophus Bugges . You will find a designated computer lab on the ground floor, and there are also a lot of desks with computers in the library on the 2nd floor. Paying for prints At the beginning of each semester each student has a quota of 100 NOK at their disposal. Printing a page costs 0.8 NOK, to a total of 125 pages. A page that has both sides printed, will cost the same as if only one side has been printed. When you suspect that you are running low on prints, you should refill before you run out completely. 11. april 2011 Ny Powerpoint mal 2011
