Special status acquisition:
In ensuring the special status, the Faculty acts in line with the Rules on the SSN of the University of Ljubljana and our Rules on the rights and responsibilities of students.
Upon enrolment, each student can apply for a special status by submitting an individual application, which includes an explanation of special needs and the interest in the selected study programme. The application for special status acquisition can be submitted on the prescribed form that is part of the annex to the Rules on the rights and responsibilities of students or on the faculty website (link to the Rules and forms >>).
In the application, the student is to define his/her disability and reasonable adjustments in the study programme implementation. The student is to enclose proof of disability or obstacles, in particular medical reports (issued by health care institution or hospital) on chronic or long-term illness or injury, the decision on the status of disabled person, the opinion of disability commission or commission for guidance of children, adolescents and young adults with physical and mental disabilities or the decision on child with special needs status (statement on guidance or classification). At the first-cycle studies, the granting of the status is subject to a decision by the FA Commission for Undergraduate Studies and at the second or third cycle studies, by the Commission for Master’s Studies. The student is to claim adjustments in line with the decision of the Commission.
The student with special status is to inform (immediately after receiving the decision on special status granting) the lecturer or the holder of course of the adjustments and agree on the manner of their implementation in due course.
