What are the most important financial or study-related conditions: tuition, funds, insurance, full-time study, attendance or equivalent?
Permits are only granted for full-time studies. Maintenance must be secured, e.g. through sufficient own funds (UDI may require a set amount transferred to a Norwegian bank and partly or fully blocked for a period) or a student loan or grant of sufficient size. The official source does not state the required amount, tuition or insurance conditions.

How long does the status last, how is it renewed, and what officially documented post-study work or residence possibilities exist?
A student permit may be granted for up to three years if consistent with the study plan and maintenance is secured for the whole period; renewal requires satisfactory progress in the studies. The permit does not form a basis for permanent residence. The official source does not state any post-study job-seeker option.
