If a student does not enroll in the current academic year, they lose access to the student services provided through AIPS.

Upon receipt of the request, the validity of the services will be extended until October 5 of the following academic year. 

The extension of student services for students without status is charged in accordance with the applicable UM price list, under the item Contribution for extending the validity of student services for persons without student status. After submitting the application, the student receives an invoice at their home address. 

If a student wishes to change an elective course after enrolling in a higher year, they submit a request to change the elective course in person to the Student Affairs Office of the MF UM or send it by email to referat.mf@um.si no later than September 20 of the current calendar year.
