New: Digital student card in the 2025/26 academic year

On 9 August 2025, the new Higher Education Act came into force. Under this Act, from the 2025/2026 academic year onwards, the official proof of student status will be the digital student card, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation. The digital student card will thus replace the existing physical student card. Student cards issued by the University of Maribor will remain valid only until the end of the 2024/2025 academic year (30 September 2025).

From 1 October 2025 onwards, students will only be able to prove their status with a digital student card!

Additional information related to the digital student ID card will be published on our website.
