The University of Maribor has officially announced the availability of 2,520 subsidized accommodation spots for students during the academic year 2026/2027. The Ministry of Education, Science, and Sport has published the call for applications, which allows students to apply for either admission into or extension of their stay in university dormitories. This announcement marks a significant step in ensuring housing options for incoming and continuing students throughout the upcoming academic term.
Applications can be submitted electronically via the eVŠ portal starting on July 1, 2026, and will remain open until April 30, 2027, for first-time applicants seeking admission. For current residents wishing to extend their stays, the application period runs from July 1 to August 18, 2026. Students must use their digital identity—either through qualified electronic signature, SMS-PASS, or other verified methods—to submit their requests. It is crucial for applicants to ensure they provide an active email address that remains valid after September 1, 2026, as this will be used for communication regarding their application status.
Upon submission, successful applicants will receive confirmation via the email address they provided. If no confirmation is received, the application was not accepted. A priority list of candidates who meet the criteria for housing will be prepared and published by September 18, 2026, on the official website of the University’s Student Dorms. Those who submit their applications before August 18 will be placed on the first priority list, increasing their chances of securing a spot. Applications submitted after this date will be listed under the October or later priority list.
The decision on whether an applicant meets the conditions for subsidized housing and the invitation to move into a dormitory will be sent directly to the student's eVŠ account and the email address they provided during application. A detailed schedule of move-in dates will also be posted on the university’s dormitory website. Technical support for submitting and completing the application form is available through the Unified Contact Center, reachable via email and phone, as well as the Office for Student Dorms in Maribor.
Eligibility requirements include being a citizen of Slovenia or an EU member state, or a foreign national with permanent residence in Slovenia. Applicants must be enrolled in regular or part-time study programs, excluding distance learning. They should not be employed or engaged in self-employed activities, nor registered as unemployed individuals or business directors. Additionally, the average monthly gross income per family member in the previous year must not exceed 150% of the average gross salary in Slovenia, which amounts to approximately €3,804.05.
The Student Dorms of the University of Maribor offer a variety of living arrangements, including single and double rooms, apartments, and garrets, catering to both individuals and families. Special accommodations are available for couples, young families, and persons with disabilities. The dorms also provide recreational facilities such as fitness centers, sports courts, and swimming pools, along with social activities organized by the student council. Transportation is conveniently accessible, with bike rental stations and public transport stops nearby, ensuring easy mobility around the city. The dorms aim to create a welcoming environment where students can thrive academically and socially.
