Period of notice at NTNU
Different periods of notice apply, depending on the employment duration in both permanent and temporary positions. The notice period runs from date to date, not from the 1st of the following month.
If you wish to resign from your position
If you as an employee want to resign from your position, you have to send your resignation through the Self-Service Portal. See guidance: Resignation (dfo.no). The form goes via the Service Centre before it is received by your manager in the Self-Service Portal.
Note that you should not submit a form for termination in the Self-Service Portal if
- you have an hourly contract or you are a student assistant with a monthly contract (then you notify your unit that sends a case to the Service Center in NTNU Help)
- you are moving to another position internally at NTNU

In most cases, temporary employments are terminated on the date given in the employment contract, without prior notice of termination.
