Year Plustop
What is Year Plus?
Year Plus enables foreign students to improve their academic performance by re-enrolling in the first year due to the reason of insufficient knowledge of the Slovenian language in which the study process takes place.
Year Plus for the purpose of re-enrolment in the 1st year of study must obtain at least 24 ECTS credit points from the study obligations of the programme in which they are enrolled, plus at least 6 ECTS credit points from the Slovenian language exam. Students must accumulate a total of at least 30 ECTS.
Target group of Year Plus
Foreign students who do not speak Slovene or whose knowledge of the Slovenian language is inadequate, are eligible to enrol in Year Plus provided that they are enrolled for the first time in one of the study programmes of UP FAMNIT conducted in the Slovenian language. They must be enrolled in the study programme before enrolling in Year Plus.

In the first year of study, students must pass the exam of the Slovenian language course with at least 6 ECTS credit points. In addition to the Slovenian language course, they must complete other study obligations in the curriculum of the study programme in which they are enrolled, in the amount of at least 24 ECTS credits (in total 30 ECTS). Any remaining study obligations from the first year may be completed by students in the next academic year, when they are still enrolled in the first year of the same study programme.
Rights of a student enrolled in Year Plus
Students enrolled in Year Plus will be allowed to re-enrol in the 1st year at the end of the current academic year (extension of student status) provided that the student has obtained at least 30 ECTS credits, including at least 6 ECTS credit points from the Slovenian language exam.
Enrolment in Year Plus
In order to use Year plus, the student has to submit a request in ŠIS under the section Enrollment requests and choose Extenstion of student status in the 1st year (Year plus - foreign students). A student will be informed via e-mail about the opened enrollment paper if the criteria for use of Year plus are met and has to follow the enrollment instructions.
