The student is required to contact the Administration Office of the receiving University in advance to enquire about the possibility of being accepted for transfer.

Transferred students cannot return to the University for Foreigners before one year has elapsed from the submission of their application, except in cases of particular hardship, which will be assessed by the relevant University offices.

They are only possible during the period 1 August 2026 - 28 February 2027.

The student must first contact the Student Administration Office of their home University to request authorisation; the application will be finalised only after checks by the Degree Programme Student Administration Office of this University.

Reinstatement is subject to payment of a fee (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

It is not possible to reinstate student records for degree programmes that are no longer active, except in cases where the student only needs to complete the final examination (see Art. 5.3), or for degree programmes no longer active but whose course units are still offered by the University.

Students may withdraw from their studies at any time by submitting a Withdrawal from Studies application (using the form available on the "forms" page of this website).

For degree programmes established pursuant to Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, student status is revoked for those who have not passed an exam for a number of years equal to twice the official duration of the degree programme.

Student status is also revoked if university fees are not paid for more than three consecutive academic years. Revocation does not apply to students who have completed all required exams except for the final degree examination.

In the year in which the thesis is discussed, students must be up to date with the payment of the enrolment fee; if there are any outstanding payments from previous years, the required reinstatement fee must also be paid.

Thesis Regulations

By the specified deadlines (no extensions permitted) indicated for each thesis session, students must submit their online thesis discussion request by logging in to Esse3Web. Information regarding the relevant fee can be found in the second part of the Student Guide.

At the time of submitting the thesis application, students must have paid all tuition fees and any other required charges.

The thesis discussion request is provisionally accepted by the Student Administration Office, which will check compliance with the established criteria.

Before the graduation session date, students must have earned all the ECTS credits required by their Degree Programme study plan.

All students are responsible for regularly checking the ECTS credits acquired. If, following the Student Administration Office’s review, there are missing credits, the student will not be permitted to defend the thesis.

If the thesis defence is postponed to a session in subsequent academic years, students must submit a new thesis discussion request and pay an additional fee (see the second part of the Student Guide).

Any changes decided by the University authorities will be announced on this website.

The final degree certificate in paper format (parchment) will be issued after the thesis defence date.

In the event of loss, destruction or theft of the original diploma, a duplicate may be issued to the holder upon request, following submission of a self-certification attesting the loss/destruction/theft/deterioration of the parchment and payment of a fee (see the second part of the Student Handbook).

The new document will include a statement indicating that it is a duplicate of the original diploma. If the replacement is due to deterioration of the original certificate, the latter must be returned to the Student Administration Office.

Students not included in specific agreements concluded by the University with other institutions, and who are undertaking documented employment activities in Italy, are offered the following opportunities:

• placement in the category of working students, either from enrolment or later during their academic career
• assessment of any previous university career, with recognition of examinations already passed
• recognition of prior documented professional training or work experience carried out at public or private organisations, provided it is consistent with the content and learning objectives of the enrolled Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree Programme. Applications must be submitted to the University Guidance Service. Recognition of such experience will result in the award of the corresponding ECTS credits for internships/placements
• the same number of exam sessions and dates as full-time, non-working, on-campus students, with the possibility, by prior agreement with the relevant lecturer, to take the exam at the start of the session in order to reduce waiting times

Working students may declare their intention to be placed in this category during enrolment and annual registration renewal, attaching supporting documentation for assessment by the Student Administration Office.

The same rules and procedures outlined in the Academic Regulations for full-time students apply, including the possibility of partial fee waivers based on income according to the ISEEU (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Working students are granted a reduction of €100.00 on the final instalment (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Pursuant to Article 40 of Presidential Decree 445/2000, as amended by Article 15 of Law no. 183 of 12 November 2011, from 1 January 2012, public administrations and providers of public services can no longer request or accept certificates issued by other public offices from private individuals.

Information relating to status, personal qualities and facts must be provided by means of a self-certification (Art. 46 of Presidential Decree 445/2000) or a statutory declaration (Art. 47 of Presidential Decree 445/2000).

Refusal by public administration bodies and providers of public services to accept these declarations constitutes a breach of official duties.

On the “forms” page of this website, it is possible to download templates for the self-certification declaration, the statutory declaration, and the self-certification of previous academic records.

Each student, by accessing Esse3web, may download self-certification for examinations passed.

Certificates

Certificates remain valid and may be used for transactions between private individuals and/or for use abroad.

According to current regulations, certificates issued are subject to a €16.00 stamp duty. Certificates on plain paper may be issued only in those cases expressly provided for by current legislation (Presidential Decree 642 of 26/10/1972 and subsequent amendments); in such cases, the student must indicate the intended use of the certificate when submitting the request.

Certificate requests must be made directly by the applicant. In cases of unavailability or inability, another person may collect the certificate on the applicant’s behalf by presenting a simple written authorisation and valid identification to the Student Administration Office for Degree Programmes.

The certificate may also be sent to the address provided in writing by the applicant.
The University accepts no responsibility for any postal delivery issues.

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is a document that complements the official qualification obtained, developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES to provide transparent and internationally comparable information on qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc.), thus enabling fair academic and professional recognition.

The Diploma Supplement, issued in both Italian and English and provided free of charge to students, is available only to graduates of first and second cycle Degree Programmes as per Ministerial Decree 509/1999 and to graduates of first and second cycle Degree Programmes as per Ministerial Decree 270/2004.

Pursuant to Article 2 of Law 148/2002, responsibility for recognising cycles and periods of study completed abroad, as well as foreign qualifications for the purposes of access to higher education, the continuation of university studies and the awarding of Italian university qualifications, lies with Universities and Higher Education Institutes. This authority is exercised within their autonomy and in accordance with their respective regulations, without prejudice to existing bilateral agreements.

Should the student fail to authorise the University to directly acquire the ISEEU from INPS, or should the ISEEU be unavailable at INPS, the following provisions shall apply for this category of students:
   If it is not possible to determine the applicable fee band and corresponding amount due, the University may, in particular and exceptional cases, use a simulation of the ISEEU calculation, which can be verified through the INPS website at www.inps.it or similar simulation systems from other reputable associations or institutions. For this purpose, the student must submit the documentation listed below, which shall remain valid for a number of years corresponding to the official duration of the selected degree programme.
   
   Required Documentation
   Documentation for obtaining partial COA waivers must be issued by the competent authorities of the country where the income was earned, translated into Italian, and legalised. Such documentation must be submitted to the Student Administration Office by 26 February 2027.
   
   If the student arrives in Italy with original documents only, without translation or legalisation by the Italian diplomatic authority in their country of origin, they must:

• have the income documents authenticated and translated at their Embassy or General Consulate in Italy
• legalise the documents at the Prefecture
  
  For countries where it is particularly difficult to obtain such documents, requests may be made through the relevant foreign diplomatic representations in Italy, with legalisation by the competent Italian Prefecture.
  For students from countries without an Italian diplomatic representation and where it is difficult to obtain the required documents, documentation already in the student's possession, if compliant with current regulations, or documentation issued by UN International Agencies or recognised NGOs will be accepted.
  
  Specifically, the following documentation must be provided:

This certification may also be provided by Italian bodies authorised to guarantee financial coverage or, exceptionally, by diplomatic representations in Italy of the student’s home country. These students are automatically classified in the lowest fee band, but remain subject to payment of the Regional Tax, Stamp Duty, and possible COA adjustment based on academic merit.
