Application fees
- There is no application fee for admission to Frederik II videregående skole. Applications are submitted through the national admission system (VIGO) and do not carry a charge.
Tuition fees by year group (Vg1, Vg2, Vg3, etc.)
- Frederik II is a public upper secondary school. There are no tuition or school fees for ordinary students at any year level (Vg1, Vg2, Vg3) for the 2026/27 academic year; tuition is NOK 0 per term and NOK 0 per year for all standard programmes. Public videregående opplæring follows the national "gratisprinsipp" (free education) so no annual or term tuition is charged.
Mandatory charges and typical additional costs (per year / per term where applicable)
- Standard public tuition: NOK 0 per year / per term for all year groups (Vg1–Vg3).
- Elev‑PC (standard model): an annual own contribution of NOK 1 427 per school year when ordered through the county's Elev‑PC scheme. Payment is made as an annual ‘‘egenandel'' for each year the student attends; three payments for 3‑year programmes, two payments for 2‑year programmes (max three payments total). This is billed once per year (see billing schedule). Optional higher‑spec machines or Macs are available only with a single up‑front payment; example prices listed under the scheme are NOK 12 431 (kraftig PC), NOK 16 413 (MacBook Air 13 M5) and NOK 18 838 (MacBook Air 15 M5) for one‑time purchase.
- Programme‑specific individual equipment: students may be required to provide individually necessary equipment for certain study programmes (for example training/competition clothing for idrettsfag or specific small tools/equipment for vocational subjects). These individual equipment costs are separate from tuition and may vary by programme and by student choice.
- School activities and curricular trips: activities and trips that are part of the formal education and curriculum are not charged to students. Voluntary or non‑curricular activities organised outside the official programme may involve cost contributions, but participation must be voluntary and the school must ensure inclusivity in line with the free‑education rules.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Elev‑PC annual own contributions are invoiced in November each year and are billed to the student (not to parents by default). The annual invoice is issued by the county IT service (FRID IKS). Payment covers one annual own contribution; timing and number of annual contributions depend on the length of the study programme (2 or 3 years). One‑off purchases (non‑standard PC/Mac) require an up‑front single payment to the supplier.
Boarding / accommodation fees
- Frederik II does not operate a school boarding/overnight residence where tuition or boarding fees are charged as part of the school fee schedule. If a student needs accommodation (hybel or internat) because of distance or study arrangements, the student/parents pay for that lodging themselves; the county can assist in finding accommodation but lodging costs are the responsibility of the student/family. Transport/school‑travel rules (skoleskyss) handle eligibility for free daily transport; lodging is treated separately and is not covered as a boarding fee by the school.
Other costs or recurring fees (examples)
- Textbooks and core digital learning resources: provided without charge to pupils in public videregående opplæring; schools/fylkeskommunen supply required printed and digital læremidler.
- Consumables, small tools and personal items: where training or vocational courses require individually necessary items (sports clothing, calculators, small hand tools, specialist clothing), students are normally expected to provide these themselves; many such costs can be partly offset by the national equipment stipend from Lånekassen.
- Optional extra‑curricular trips or optional programme extras: may carry separate fees when they are clearly voluntary and outside the formal curriculum; the school must ensure no student is excluded for financial reasons.
- Uniforms: there is no school uniform requirement listed for Frederik II. For programmes that require specific clothing (for example sports clothing for idrettsfag), those items are treated as individual equipment rather than a mandatory school uniform fee.
Refund information
- Elev‑PC purchases through the county's supplier follow standard consumer withdrawal rules: there is a right of withdrawal (angrerett) after purchase (50 days for the supplier arrangement stated) and returns/cancellations are handled via the supplier's return procedure. For the annual own‑contribution, the invoice is for the instalment year; procedures for cancellation/refund on withdrawal from the programme or returned hardware are governed by the county's Elev‑PC scheme rules and the supplier's terms. Curricular trip payments are not required; for voluntary paid activities, refund and cancellation terms depend on the organiser's stated terms for that activity.
Fee payment options
- Elev‑PC annual invoices are delivered and can be paid by eFaktura, Vipps or as a paper invoice (postal). The invoice sender for the Elev‑PC own contribution is FRID IKS. One‑off purchases of non‑standard machines are paid as a single upfront payment to the supplier under that supplier's payment methods. Other ad hoc charges (voluntary trips, optional extras) are billed according to the organiser's stated method and timing; the county/school commonly uses eFaktura, Vipps and paper invoices for student billing.
Summary (short)
- Tuition/application: NOK 0 (no application fee, no tuition fees for Vg1–Vg3) for public enrolment in 2026/27.
- Known payable item administered by the county: Elev‑PC standard own contribution NOK 1 427 per year (annual invoice in November); optional higher‑spec machines require single upfront payment (price examples provided in the Elev‑PC scheme).
If you list these items in your external database, record tuition and application fees as NOK 0 for all year groups and include the Elev‑PC scheme items as separately billable optional/own‑contribution items (annual NOK 1 427; one‑off higher‑spec prices where applicable). Additional costs may occur for programme‑specific individual equipment and voluntary extras; those are billed separately when required.
