Accepted Answer

Emergency incidents

If you experience emergency incidents in your student housing such as vandalism, water leaks, electrical problems, insecurity, noise, or similar during SiS opening hours, contact the student housing office (51 83 33 00) as soon as possible.

Emergency incidents (After hours)

Contact Securitas (22 97 10 76) if you experience insecurity, noise, graffiti, vandalism, water leaks, electrical problems, or similar outside of SiS opening hours.

To report non-emergency faults and deficiencies in your student housing, use inquiries on Your Page at Uni Alltid. See how to report faults and deficiencies here.

Question 2

Fire and safety in student housing

Accepted Answer

Here you will find informational videos about the fire routines for our student housing. We have divided it into three categories:

What to do if there is a fire

What to do if there is a false alarm

How to avoid triggering the fire alarm

Fire instructions for SiS housing

To ensure fire safety in our residences, it is important that you, as a resident, familiarize yourself with this description. Failure to respond to alarms/fire, use of non-approved equipment, etc., may result in legal liability or financial responsibility. Only approved electrical equipment should be used. See the house rules and lease agreement for further information.

It is extremely important to avoid frequent unwanted alarms, as this contributes to a lack of response in the event of a real fire.

Fire instructions

In the event of an alarm, a message is automatically sent to the fire department, which will respond immediately.

Emergency number for fire tel. 110

Help others - try to extinguish if possible. (Where the alarm is triggered is shown on the display at the fire control panel)
Close doors and windows.

Wheelchair users: If you cannot get help, stay in your room or on the balcony, call the fire department at tel. 110 and wait for assistance.

Residents gather outside the building at the meeting point sign.

In the event of a false alarm – wait for instructions to return to the building.

If the alarm is triggered accidentally (steam, cooking fumes, showering, etc.):

Call the fire department – tel. 110 – report the false alarm, even if they are already on their way.

Reset the alarm at the fire control panel (see instructions at the main entrance)

Meet the fire department.

Firefighting equipment

Fire extinguishers are located in each residence/apartment and in common areas. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with their locations.

Escape routes

In the event of a fire, it is crucial for evacuation that residents are familiar with the applicable escape routes from the residence. Remember that the elevator does not operate during a fire. Escape routes and emergency exits must always be clear, in case of evacuation. This is a non-negotiable requirement from the fire department, and SiS may pursue violations of clear escape routes in relation to financial responsibility for property damage and loss of life and health. (This means it is not permitted to leave garbage bags, shoes, boxes, etc., in corridors and stairwells)

How to avoid alarms in the residence

Never leave the stove unattended when cooking

Use pots that are the right size for the burner, and remember the lid

Turn off the stove after use

Always use the exhaust fan when cooking. When using electronic equipment such as waffle irons, toasters, kettles, rice cookers, etc., always place them under the exhaust fan.

Keep ovens and stovetops clean. Burnt food residues can trigger the alarm.

Dismantling or covering smoke detectors can be life-threatening and will incur a fine

If irresponsibility is proven or the fire department responds due to a false alarm, costs will be charged to the resident according to the current price list.

Fire control panel

Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the panel. Feel free to contact SiS housing if you feel further training is necessary.
The fire control panel, along with instructions on how it works, can be found at the main entrance to the residence. In the event of an alarm, the panel shows where there is a fire or where an unwanted alarm has been triggered. This is important for extinguishing fires and especially for evacuation. Remember that the house manager has a master key.

In case of a false alarm

Did you trigger the fire alarm by mistake?

Then YOU must call 110 within 90 seconds to stop the fire department from responding.

We are billed 10,000 kroner for an unnecessary response. If you do not call in time, you will have to pay the bill.

Stove guard

If the cooktop and/or stove is not working, remember to check that the stove guard has not been activated. You can check this by pressing the sensor (white box) on the wall above the cooktops. It will beep before the power returns. If the stove still does not work, you must report the fault via Uni Alltid.

Question 3

Inquiries / report an error

Accepted Answer

Do you have questions about:

Living environment

Rent/contract

Faults in the residence

Use inquiries on Your Page at Uni Alltid.

See how to report faults and deficiencies here.

Question 4

Internet

Accepted Answer

Internet is included in the rent. To connect, you need a wireless router or network cable. There are two outlets in the wall, but only one is connected to the network. If you can't connect, use the other outlet.

If you have problems:

Check the internet access using a cable – not a router

Check with your neighbor. If he or she has Internet, the issue is likely with your device

Check the housing Facebook group on your mobile to see if others have the same problem

SiS housing requires no password or username for connection. If you are asked for this, you have connected to the wrong network

Ensure that wireless connection is turned on if you are using a laptop

If nothing above works, you canreport the issue on the housing page.

Question 5

Keys

Accepted Answer

Keys can be picked up at the student housing office on the third floor of the SiS student house. Remember to bring your admission proof and receipt for the paid semester fee.

If you lose your keys outside the student housing office's opening hours, Securitas (22 97 10 76) will assist you with unlocking. This costs NOK 1,250.

When moving out outside the student housing office's opening hours, you can leave the key in the slot outside the SiS student house on the UiS campus Ullandhaug. You will find this on the pillar outside the entrance facing the SiS sports center parking lot. Remember to place the key in an envelope marked with your name and housing address. Envelopes can be found next to the slot.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Insurance

Accepted Answer

Remember renter's insurance when moving in with us – you are not covered by SiS's renter's insurance. You can check if you are insured through your parents' insurance, an organization you are a member of, or possibly purchase your own.

Why renter's insurance? If unforeseen events occur, such as fire, water damage, or burglary in your home or storage unit, this can lead to expenses and losses for you as a resident. You can use renter's insurance to limit your own financial loss in such cases.

To find these, use the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association's overview of fast chargers on their website or app.

Decommissioned cars or other vehicles not in weekly use should not be parked in our parking spaces. These will be removed at the owner's expense.

Bjergsted

The residence is not recommended for residents with cars.

Residents with children in family apartments are offered parking but must have a valid permit. Parking permits can be collected at the student housing office on the third floor of the SiS student house. Even with a valid permit, capacity may be limited.

We ask you to thoroughly familiarize yourself with signage and current parking regulations for the area.

Question 17

Power outage

Accepted Answer

If the power is out in your student housing but all other residences in the area are unaffected, check the fuse box in the common hallway. Contact us if you need assistance.
