Fees
Application fees and admissions

- There is no general application fee for students applying from Sweden, from Nordic countries, or for applicants whose home municipality pays for their place; applicants in these categories pay no tuition or application charge.
- International applicants (students with foreign compulsory‑school education) are accepted into IBDP1/IBDP2 without a separate application charge, but expenses for IB examinations are invoiced to the student and added to the final invoice.

Tuition fees by programme / year group (per academic year and term)

- National Swedish programmes (all standard gymnasieprogram): No tuition is charged to students; the education is provided without tuition fees for eligible students.
- IB (International Baccalaureate) students with Swedish or Nordic schooling: No tuition fee is charged. Examination costs for IB are handled via the school's invoices when applicable.
- IB students with a foreign (non‑Nordic) compulsory‑school background: No routine tuition is charged for admission, but IB examination expenses and related IB costs for those students are charged and included on the final invoice. The school registers and invoices these IB examination expenses.

Specific exam / assessment fees

- Prövning (course re‑assessment/prövning): SEK 500 per prövning for gymnasie‑students; the fee is not refunded in case of cancellation or no‑show.
- IB candidate / retake fees: When a candidate is registered for retake exams or for IB assessment services the candidate is responsible for the IBO subject and core fees; Mora Gymnasium invoices these charges. Examples of IBO fees listed for 2026 retake registrations (charged per relevant component) include: Subject fee EUR 92; Extended Essay EUR 70; TOK EUR 36; CAS EUR 8. These IBO charges are payable by the candidate and will be invoiced by the school for retake/registration services.
- If a candidate requests an IBO remark/enquiry upon results, the IBO charges per‑subject fees for that service; the candidate/legal guardian pays those fees. Mora Gymnasium will forward the request but does not add an extra fee for sending it.

Boarding and student accommodation fees

- Mora Gymnasium Campus (school‑administered student housing): Rent varies and is typically in the range SEK 3,400–3,900 per month; rent is billed and paid 11 months per year. Rent includes heating and electricity; students are responsible for other costs such as home insurance and broadband.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Student housing rent (Mora Gymnasium Campus): Rent is paid 11 months per year. Specific invoicing timing is administered through the landlord (Morastrand) and the housing coordinator.
- IB examination charges and other school‑administered charges: IB examination expenses and other program‑specific charges are invoiced by the school; examination expenses for international IB entrants are added to the final invoice for the programme.
- Payment terms for housing billed by the landlord (Morastrand): standard invoicing is used and payment terms are 30 days net for invoices sent to the tenant or to invoicing parties. Morastrand accepts electronic invoicing channels (PEPPOL/EDI) and provides an email channel for PDF invoices under specified conditions; invoices must include required references and details.
- Municipal invoicing rules (for invoices to Mora municipality or invoices issued by municipal units) use e‑invoicing/PEPPOL channels; payment practices and invoice requirements follow the municipality's e‑invoice rules (payment due typically 30 days).

Other costs and recurrent charges

- Utilities included in campus rent: Heating and electricity are included in the campus rent; students remain responsible for home insurance and broadband subscriptions.
- Personal study materials and equipment: Candidates (especially retake or IB candidates) must provide their own required materials when indicated (for example calculators, textbooks or course materials for retake sessions); such costs are the responsibility of the student.

Refund information

- Prövning fee (SEK 500): non‑refundable in the event of cancellation or absence from the scheduled prövning.
- Housing termination and refunds: tenancy terms (including notice periods and move‑out procedures) follow the landlord's rental contract. For Morastrand student rentals the standard notice procedure and final inspection regime apply (three calendar months' notice from the month after the notice is received); any refund of deposit or adjustments is governed by the rental contract and inspection results.
- IB / IBO examination and service charges: the IBO charges for examinations, retakes, remarks and related services are billed to the candidate and handled via the school's invoicing; specific refund or cancellation rules for IBO charges follow IBO policy and the invoicing procedures used by the school/municipality. Mora Gymnasium invoices IBO charges to the candidate as required.

Fee payment options and practical payment routes

- Invoicing and electronic payment: The primary payment route for housing and municipal/school invoices is via invoice/e‑invoice and bank transfer channels (municipal and landlord invoicing systems use PEPPOL/e‑faktura or standard invoice handling). Payment terms are typically 30 days net for landlord and municipal invoices.
- IB/IBO fees and school invoices: IB examination and IBO service fees are invoiced by the school to the student; the school issues an invoice which is payable through the municipality's invoicing/payment channels (electronic invoicing / bank transfer as per municipal practice).
- Credit card payments: no school‑level or housing credit‑card payment method is specified on the published housing or municipal invoicing pages; invoices are handled through e‑invoice/PEPPOL, EDI or standard invoice channels and paid by bank transfer or the municipality/landlord's accepted invoicing methods.

Admissions

Admissions
1) Pre-Diploma Year (pre-IB). The first year is a preparatory year for the Diploma Programme and no DP subjects are taught during pre-IB. Applicants apply to the IBDP at Mora gymnasium in the same way as for Swedish national programmes through Antagningen Falun. The requirements are the same as for entry to Swedish higher education: you must have completed compulsory school and have passing grades in English, mathematics and Swedish, plus twelve subjects in total; Mora gymnasium reviews each applicant individually and may grant exceptions. The English level expected for pre-IB is around CERF level B1.1, and for IBDP entry CERF B1.2 is needed; candidates from foreign education may require tests in English and mathematics before a decision is made.
2) IBDP1. Before entering IBDP1, the results from the pre-IB are considered by the IB-coordinator, guidance counsellor and IBDP teachers when advising subject choices. A parent-student meeting is held and students submit their DP subject choices with SL or HL levels. If a DP subject is not offered due to small group size, the student may need to adjust. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the chosen subjects meet university entry requirements; general IB information and higher education pathways are provided, and there is a staff meeting in March to review progress. At the end of IBDP1 there are no grades; status reports are issued via Managebac.
3) IBDP2. Before being registered for the final May examinations, students should be fully committed to their courses and the decision is based on teacher internal assessment. The deadlines for Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge must be met, and the CAS requirement must be completed to meet Diploma requirements. Candidates must act in a responsible and ethical manner and be in good standing at the time of examinations. If a student is not satisfied with their final mark, a remark can be requested; the IBO charges a fee for remarks, and Mora gymnasium does not charge an extra fee for sending the request.
4) Retakes. If a student is not satisfied with the May examination result, they may retake the subject(s) in the November or May session; Mora gymnasium only offers the May session. A November retake would require attending another school. The earliest a retake can occur is six months from the latest session, and changes in curriculum or assessment requirements must be followed if they apply to the subject.
5) International students. International students are admitted into the IBDP (IBDP1 or IBDP2, not pre-IB). Non-EU students may need a residence permit from the Swedish Migration Agency. Exchange students staying more than three months require a residence permit for studies, issued before travel. Some Swedish language requirements may apply for university entry; if Swedish A or Swedish as a second language is not completed, a TISUS test may be required unless SVA3 can be arranged (Mora gymnasium can organize SVA3 during the third year as a prövning).
6) Applicants with foreign education residing in Sweden. Applicants with foreign education equivalent to compulsory schooling may be admitted to the upper secondary level if eligible and places are available in the IBDP; Mora gymnasium reviews these applicants individually, and there can be exceptions in some cases, including Swedish language requirements.
7) WAoS. Mora gymnasium is WAoS-accredited and can offer IB sport as part of the Diploma Programme. The WAoS application follows the same process as other sport programmes; applicants may need to submit sport-related materials and participate in try-outs. Mora gymnasium specializes in ice hockey (men and women), floorball, cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski orienteering and football, but accepts students in all individual sports; requirements and information are described on the sports pages.
