• If you were unable to complete your study obligations, you may, for justified reasons, submit one of the following requests: Re-enrolment in the same year and enrolment in a higer year in exceptional cases, and extension of student status for justified reasons. Justified reasons include, for example: pareting, prolonged illness of the student, exeptional family or social circumstances, recognised status of the student with special needs, active participation in top-level professional, cultural, or sports eventrs, and active involvement in university bodies.

For all the above types of enrolment, you must meet specific conditions outlined in the Rules of Enrolment in a Higher Year and Repeating a Year in Exceptional Cases, and on the Extension of Student Status.

11. FOREIGN STUDENTS and YEAR PLUS

How can I claim the ECTS credits obtained within the Year Plus module?

The ECTS credits obtained within the Year Plus module can be used for two types of benefits:

1) Within your study programme, in 2nd or 3rd year, you may use the obtained credits as part of the selection and recognition of general elective courses.

In the STUDIS system, on your enrolment sheet, select the course GENERAL ELECTIVE COURSE FROM ANOTHER FACULTY, submit the enrolment sheet electronically, and then send an email to: referat@fri.uni-lj.si stating that you wish to claim the courses Slovene as a Foreign Language - Language Course 1 and 2. (The Faculty of Arts must also send your certificate of completed courses by email, as the grades are not entered auromatically.)

2) For the right to an exceptional one-year extension of student status.

If you were enrolled for the first time as a foreign citizen in the first year at FRI at the time you were completing the Year Plus module, and if you meet the reguired conditions, you may submit a request for an exceptional extension of student status based on Year Plus. This right cannot be transferred to later enrolments in higher years.

How does participation in the Year Plus module allow me to extend my student status?

Participation in the Year Plus module allows you to extend your student status in your first year of studies, provided that you meet the requirement of obtaining at least 24 ECTS from compulsory first-year courses.

The criteria you must meet are: 

- A minimum of 6 ECTS from the course Slovene as a Foreign Language - Language Course. This means you must successfully complete courses Slovene as a foreign language - Language Course 1 (3 ECTS) in the winter semester and Slovene as a Foreign Language - Language Course 2 (3 ECTS) in the summer semester.

- You must obtain the remaining 24 ECTS from the first-year courses of your study programme.

If you wish to claim the right to an exceptional extension of student status based on Year Plus, you must submit a request in the STUDIS system for extension of student status for justified reasons.

When submitting the request under Year Plus, the grades for Slovene as a Foreign Language - Language Course 1 and 2 must already be recorded in the STUDIS system.

12. How many courses and credits are required to repeat 1st year? 
To repeat the 1st year, you must obtain at least 30 ECTS credits.

13. How can I take courses in advance?

First- and second-cycle students who meet the conditions for repeating a year and are enrolled in study programmes coordinated by FRI are allowed to take a certain number of higher-year courses of the same programme in the following academic year.

If a student is repeating the year in the programmes BUN-RI, BVS-RI, and BM-RI, they select the courses in advance directly on the enrolment sheet. Students of the interdisciplinary programmes BUN-RM and BM-MM must submit a request through the STUDIS system (type of request: Request to take courses in advance).

Students with student status who have already completed part of their obligations upon enrolling in the 1st year may take:

• 30 ECTS of 2nd-year courses, if they have already completed 48 ECTS from 1st year,

• 18ECTS of 2nd-year courses, if they have already completed 42 ECTS from the 1st year,

• 6 ECTS of 2nd-year courses, if they have already completed 36 ECTS from the 1st year.

Students with student status who have already completed part of their obligations upon enrolling in the 2nd year may take:

• 36 ECTS of 3rd-year courses, if they have already completed 108 ECTS from the 1st and 2nd year combined,

• 24 ECTS of 3rd-year courses, if they have already completed 102 ECTS from the 1st and 2nd year combined,

• 18 ECTS of 3rd-year courses, if they have already completed 96 ECTS from the 1st and 2nd year combined.

For students in interdisciplinary study programmes not coordinated by FRI, the study regulations of the coordinating faculty apply.

The number of enrolments in an individual course in a given academic year may be limited according to the faculty's spatial and stuff capacity. This criterion also applies to repeating students who did not complete their obligations in a course during their regular coursework (if the quota for a previously selected course is already full at the time of enrolment, the student must choose a different course). No special timetable adjustments are made for students taking courses in advance.

Students are also responsible for selecting courses in advance that will be compatible with thier study programme in the future (e.g., module-specific courses), as the study information system does not guarantee advance, they commit to completing it in order to finish their studies (even if the course later becomes incompatible with thier subsequent choices).

In accordance with Article 4 of the FRI UL Study Regulations, during their studies in a study programme, a student may change elective courses no later than by Friday of the 3rd week of the course’s delivery, when they attend the course for the first time, or in exceptional cases (e.g., the course is not offered).

The request for a course change is submitted through the STUDIS system (Type of request: Request to change an elective course).

27. How many times can I take an exam?

A student who does not pass an exam may repeat it three times, and once at the third-cycle (doctoral) level. The competent body of the faculty may, upon the student’s well-justified request, exceptionally allow a fifth attempt, and on the doctoral programme a third attempt.

For the 5th attempt of an exam, the student must submit a Request for the 5th (final) exam attempt via the STUDIS system no later than 30 days before the exam date (and attach a completed and instructor-signed request form as an attachment).

The student is required to pay the costs of the fourth and fifth exam attempts, as well as the third attempt in third-cycle studies, in accordance with the valid University price list. The provisions of the new UL Statute regarding exam attempts apply to all students who enrolled for the first time in any year of their study programme in the 2017/2018 academic year. In the case of re-enrolment in a year, it is considered that the student is taking each exam of that year for the first time, regardless of how many unsuccessful attempts they had during their initial enrolment in that year. If the student has not yet passed exams from a year in which they were previously enrolled, they take those exams under the old UL Statute, even if it is their first attempt.

Example: A student is enrolled in the 3rd year in the 2017/2018 academic year and still needs to pass some exams from the 2nd year. Exams from the 2nd year are taken under the old UL Statute (up to 6 attempts), while exams from the 3rd year are taken under the new UL Statute.
