Transferred students may not return to the Università per Stranieri until at least one year has passed since the application was submitted, except in cases of particular hardship, which will be assessed by the relevant University departments.

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

The student must first visit the Student Registry Office of their home university to request clearance. The application will be finalized only after verification by the Degree Program Office of this University. Any request for recognition of examinations will be assessed by the appropriate offices.

An interruption occurs when a student does not renew their enrollment for at least one academic year, while a suspension is a formal request submitted by the student in the case of:

• participation in civil service during the same academic year
• serious personal or family reasons, subject to evaluation by the competent university offices

Suspension may be granted only once and for a number of years not exceeding the remaining legal duration of the study program. It cannot be granted in the case of:

During periods of interruption or suspension, students are not permitted to undertake any academic activities. To resume studies, students must submit a specific request (using the form available on the “forms” page of this website), which will be reviewed by the Student Office for Degree Programs. Reinstatement requires the payment of a fee (see the second part of the Student Guide).

It is not possible to reinstate academic records for degree programs that are no longer offered, except in cases where the student needs only to complete the final thesis (see Art. 5.3), or for programs no longer active but whose courses are still included in the University’s academic offerings.

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

No further academic actions can be taken and any fees already paid will not be refunded.

For degree programmes established before the university reform under Ministerial Decree 509/1999, a student loses their status as a university student if, even though officially enrolled as an out-of-course student, they have not passed any exams for eight consecutive years.

For degree programmes established pursuant to Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, a student loses their university student status if they have not passed any exam for a period equal to twice the legal duration of the programme.

Student status is also lost if university tuition fees are not paid for more than three consecutive academic years. This rule does not apply to students who have completed all the required examinations of their programme and have only the final degree exam remaining.

In the year of the thesis defence, the student must be up to date with the payment of the enrolment fee; in addition, if there are outstanding fees from previous years, the required reinstatement fee must also be paid.

Thesis Regulations

By the stated deadlines (extensions are not permitted) specified for each thesis session, students must submit their thesis discussion application online by accessing Esse3Web. For information about the relevant fee, please refer to the second part of the Student Handbook.

When submitting the thesis application, students must have paid all required tuition fees and charges in full.

The thesis discussion application will be provisionally accepted by the Student Administration Office, which will verify that all requirements have been met.

Before the scheduled graduation session, students must have earned all ECTS credits required by the study plan of their degree programme.

Students are responsible for regularly checking their acquired ECTS credits. If the Student Administration Office finds any missing credits, the student will not be permitted to defend their thesis.

If the thesis discussion is postponed to a session in a subsequent academic year, the student must submit a new thesis discussion application and pay an additional fee (see the second part of the Student Handbook).

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

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

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

The new document will state 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 Registrar's Office.

Students who are not covered by specific agreements entered into by the University with other institutions and who carry out documented employment activities in Italy are offered the following opportunities:

• designation as working students either from the moment of enrollment or subsequently during their academic career
• assessment of any previous university experience with recognition of exams already passed
• recognition of prior documented professional training or work experience, undertaken at public or private organizations, provided it is consistent with the content and learning objectives of the enrolled bachelor’s or master’s degree programme. Requests must be submitted to the University’s Student Guidance Service. Recognition of such experience will result in the awarding of the relevant ECTS credits for internships/work placements
• the same number of exam sessions and dates as provided for on-campus, non-working, full-time students, with the possible option to take exams at the beginning of the session to reduce waiting times, subject to agreement with the course instructor

Working students may declare their intention to be included in this category during enrollment or when renewing registration, attaching documentation verifying this status, which will be assessed by the Student Office.

The same rules and procedures as set out in the Academic Regulations for full-time students apply, including the possibility of partial tuition waivers based on household income as determined by the ISEEU (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Working students are granted a €100 reduction on the last installment of tuition fees (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 public service providers can no longer request or accept certificates issued by other public offices from private individuals. 

Information regarding personal status, personal qualities, and facts must be provided in the form of a self-certification (Article 46, Presidential Decree 445/2000) or a statutory declaration (Article 47, Presidential Decree 445/2000). 

Failure by public administrations or public service providers to accept such declarations constitutes a violation of official duties. 

On the “Forms” page of this website, you can download templates for self-declaration, statutory declaration, and previous university career self-certification. 

Each student, by accessing Esse3web, can download the self-certification of the exams passed. 

Certificates

Certificates remain valid and usable in relations between private individuals and/or for use abroad. 

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

Certificate requests must be submitted directly by the applicant. In case of unavailability or impediment, collection may be delegated to a third party, who must present themselves at the Degree Programme Student Office with a simple written authorization and a valid identity document. 

The certificate may also be sent to the address specified in writing by the applicant.
The University assumes no responsibility for any postal delays or errors.

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

The Diploma Supplement, issued free of charge to students and written in both Italian and English, is available only to first- and second-cycle graduates under Ministerial Decree 509/1999 and first- and second-cycle graduates under Ministerial Decree 270/2004.

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

For more information, please visit: http://www.studiare-in- italia.it/studentistranieri/

For the recognition of qualifications for professional purposes, participation in public competitions, and equivalence in general, it is advisable to consult the website www.cimea.it.

1. International students and Italian students residing abroad may be eligible for partial exemptions from the all-inclusive fee (COA), provided that the relevant ISEEU documentation is available and recorded with INPS. If the student does not authorize the University to acquire the ISEEU directly from INPS—or if no ISEEU is available at INPS—for this category of students, the following procedure will apply:
   Should it be impossible to determine the applicable income bracket and related payment amounts, the University may—in specific and exceptional cases—directly utilize an ISEEU calculation simulation, obtained via the INPS website www.inps.it, or equivalent simulation systems provided by other reputable Associations or Organizations. For this purpose, the student must submit the documentation specified below, which will be considered valid for a number of years equal to the legal duration of the study program.
   
   Required Documentation
   The documentation necessary to obtain partial exemption from the COA must be issued by the competent authorities in the country where the income was earned, translated into Italian, and legalized. This documentation must be submitted to the Student Office by 26 February 2027.
   
   If the student arrives in Italy with documents only in the original language—not translated or legalized by the Italian diplomatic authority in their country of origin—they must:

• have income documents verified and translated at their Embassy or General Consulate in Italy
• have the documents legalized at a Prefecture
  
  For countries where there are particular difficulties in issuing this documentation, it may be requested from the relevant foreign diplomatic representations in Italy and legalized by the competent Italian Prefecture.
  For students from countries without Italian diplomatic representation, or where it is difficult to obtain the required documentation, documents already in the student's possession will be accepted if they comply with current regulations, or those issued by UN International Agencies or recognized NGOs.
  
  Specifically, the student must provide documentation certifying:
• the composition of the family unit
• income earned abroad by all members of the family unit
• the size, expressed in square meters, and property value of any residential properties owned abroad by members of the family unit. If the family unit lives in rented accommodation, documentation must be provided for the annual rent amount stated in the lease contract
• the amount of movable assets (deposits, current accounts) held by the student’s family unit.

Pursuant to Article 13 of DPCM 9/04/2001, for international students from particularly poor countries, with a low human development index as defined annually by Decree of the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) in agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), the assessment of economic status is based on a certificate issued by the Italian representation in the country of origin. This certificate must confirm that the student does not belong to a family with high income or social standing. The certificate can also be issued by Italian entities authorized to guarantee financial coverage, or, in exceptional cases, by the diplomatic representations in Italy of the student's country of origin. Such students are automatically placed in the first contribution bracket, but must still pay the Regional Fee, the stamp duty, and remain subject to COA adjustments based on academic merit.
