On Tuesday, Euroclass, Kirkeibyen, AKBU and Nærværket will also participate.
All students are expected to attend Sunday worship at the church where they have their service internship.

During the year, the school organises a series of conferences and events, which are held at the school premises. On these occasions, students will have a unique opportunity to serve and participate. Students are expected to participate in most of the events.
All students are assigned an official email account belonging to the school, which is an important communication tool for the school. Students are required to check their email regularly so that they receive all important messages. Students are not allowed to send "mass emails" to everyone at the school without prior permission.
In addition, a Facebook group is created each year for internal messages between students and staff.
Weekly timetables including information on changes and special events are posted on the intranet (you will have access to it at the beginning of the semester) as well as on a bulletin board outside the offices, on the first floor.
The school facilities are also used by Euroclass (an annual programme for teenagers), the offices of the AKBU and the Apostolic Church, the social café Nærværket and Kirkeibyen. We urge all students to respect the other organisations in the building and cooperate when their activities take up the use of the common areas. It is carefully assessed how the premises can best be used both in relation to the students and in relation to the other services in the house. In addition to the mentioned ones, there are others who have rented themselves into the building.
Facilities and services are available to everyone in our extended community.
We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave the school grounds for any reason and at any time. If any of the students suspect that something illegal or unpleasant is taking place in the form of suspicious guests on the school grounds, it is their duty to immediately inform the on-call officer.
All drinks (coffee, tea, etc.) must be covered if they are enjoyed in the building, except in the dining room. A to-go cup with a lid is good to have. All facilities are non-smoking areas.
In the library, students must be able to read and work in quiet surroundings. Please respect your fellow students.
The lounge is a place where students can enjoy themselves together. There is a projector and many board games etc. The lounge is on the 2nd floor.
Although the school serves many meals, there is also the possibility for students to cook for themselves. The student kitchen is located on the ground floor, next to the rear entrance, and there is a fridge and shelves for the food.
The gym can be used by students, teachers and staff. Close family members of teachers and staff can also use the room. Children under 16 years of age must be supervised. Users are themselves responsible for the use of the equipment.

Every day, three main meals are served in the dining room. It is expected that all students will meet exactly for the service. Personal items must not be left in the dining room (books, clothes, etc.). I want everyone to wear shoes in the dining room. You can only stay in the kitchen if you have any work to do there.

Most tasks are done in a matter of hours a week. The house coordinator is responsible for the delegation of the tasks and for their proper execution.

Local fire measures require that the hallways be kept free of blocking objects (e.g. waste containers and furniture).
Tampering with firefighting equipment and/or fire extinguishers is a major violation. Everyone has to take part in the fire drills.
In case of fire, or a fire drill, everyone should immediately leave the building and wait at the flagpole outside as well as await instructions.
The hours from 22:30 to 7:00 are called "Quiet Hours". During this time, students must not use the elevator or cause noise and other sounds that might prevent others from reading or sleeping. During these hours, you need headphones if you want to listen to music. If music can be heard from the aisles or from other rooms, it is too loud. If you talk, it has to be done quietly. Please respect the desire for calm.

Since the students are not covered by the school's home insurance, it is the responsibility of each student to take out insurance themselves.

Please note that the first trip may take place during the second week of the course.
