Update in Norwegian forms
We would like to inform you about an important adjustment to one of the questions in our standard reference check templates.
Why are we updating the templates?
We have noticed that the translation of one of the standard questions in Refapp is somewhat unclear. We will adjust this to ensure that the question cannot be misunderstood by referees.
What will be changed?
After consulting with the Equality and Anti-Discrimination Ombud (LDO), we have revised the question below to clarify it in our standard templates.
The original question in Bokmål and Nynorsk was:
"Er det noe å anmerke når det gjelder fravær eller andre uregelmessigheter?"
"Er det noko du vil nemne når det gjeld fråvære eller andre kritikkverdige forhold?"
After the revision, the question will read as follows in Bokmål and Nynorsk:
"Er det noe å anmerke når det gjelder ugyldig fravær eller andre uregelmessigheter?"
"Er det noko du vil nemne når det gjeld ugyldig fråvær eller andre kritikkverdige forhold?"
You don't need to take any action
There is no need for you to do anything for the change to take effect. The question will be automatically updated in all your templates.
Timeline and contact
The change will be implemented on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
If you have any questions, please contact your Refapp representative or send an email to support@refapp.no.
