Transferred students may not return to the Università per Stranieri before one year has passed since the application was submitted, except in cases of particular seriousness, which will be evaluated by the relevant University bodies.

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

The student must first contact the Student Registry Office at their home university to request authorization. The application will be finalized only after verification by the Degree Program Office of this University. Any requests for exam recognition will be evaluated by the relevant 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 cases of:

• participation in civil service during the same academic year
• serious personal or family reasons, which will be evaluated by the appropriate university offices

Suspension may be granted only once and for no more than the number of years remaining to complete the standard duration of the program. Suspension is not granted in the case of:

The student 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).

No further academic activities may be undertaken, and any fees already paid will not be refunded.

For degree programmes established before the university reform pursuant to Ministerial Decree 509/1999, a student is considered to have lost their university student status if, despite being regularly enrolled as an out-of-course student, they have not passed any exams with a positive outcome for eight consecutive years.

For degree programmes established under Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, a student is considered to have lost their status if they have not passed an exam for a period of years equal to twice the standard duration of the programme.

Student status is also lost if university fees are not paid for more than three consecutive academic years. This does not apply to students who have passed all required exams for their programme and only owe the final graduation exam.

In the year of the thesis defence, the student must have paid the enrolment fee; if there are outstanding fees from previous years, the required reinstatement fee must also be paid.

Thesis Regulations

By the specified deadlines (no extensions will be granted) indicated for each thesis session, students must submit their online thesis defense application through Esse3Web. Details regarding the relevant fee are provided in the second part of the Academic Regulations.

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

The thesis defense application will be provisionally accepted by the Registrar's Office, which will verify compliance with all applicable criteria.

Before the graduation session date, students must have obtained all the ECTS credits required by the curriculum for their degree program.

Each student is responsible for regularly checking their acquired ECTS credits. If the Registrar's Office finds that not all required ECTS credits have been earned, the student will not be permitted to defend their thesis.

If the thesis defense is postponed to sessions in subsequent academic years, the student must submit a new thesis defense application and pay an additional fee (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Any changes made by university authorities will be published on this website.

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

In the event of loss, destruction or theft of the original diploma, a duplicate may be issued upon request by the holder, following 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 Academic Regulations).

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

Students who are not covered by specific agreements between the University and other institutions, but who carry out documented employment in Italy, are offered the following opportunities:

• inclusion in the working students’ category, either from the time of enrolment or at a later stage during their university studies
• assessment of any previous university career with possible recognition of exams already passed
• recognition of previous documented professional training or work experience undertaken with public or private entities, provided that it is consistent with the contents and learning objectives of the bachelor’s/master’s degree programme in which the student is enrolled. Applications should be submitted to the University’s Orientation Service. The recognition of such experience results in the awarding of the ECTS credits relating to internships/placement.
• the same number of exam sessions and dates as those available to on-site, non-working, full-time students, with the possibility to take the exam at the beginning of the session period upon agreement with the relevant lecturer, in order to reduce waiting times

Working students may request to be included in this category during enrolment or at the time of re-enrolment, by submitting a document certifying this status, which will be evaluated 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 exemptions based on income according to ISEEU (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Working students are entitled to a €100.00 reduction on the final tuition installment (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 November 12, 2011, from January 1, 2012 public administrations and providers of public services may no longer request or accept certificates issued by other public offices from private individuals.

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

Failure by public administration bodies or public service providers to accept these forms constitutes a violation of official duties.

On the “forms” page of this website, you can download templates for self-certification, statutory declaration, and self-certification of prior university records.

Each student may download a self-certification of completed exams by accessing Esse3web.

Certificates

Certificates remain valid and can be used in relations between private individuals and/or for use abroad.

According to current legislation, certificates issued are subject to a €16.00 stamp duty. Certificates may be issued on non-stamped paper only in cases explicitly provided for by the current legislation (Presidential Decree 642 of 26/10/1972 and subsequent provisions); in this case, the student must make a specific request indicating the intended use of the certificate.

Requests for certificates must be made directly by the applicant. If the applicant is unavailable or prevented, a third party may be delegated to collect the certificate by presenting themselves at the Degree Programmes Office with a written delegation on plain paper and a valid identity document.

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

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is an additional document to the official academic qualification, developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe, and UNESCO/CEPES, with the aim of providing transparent and internationally comparable data on qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc.), thereby ensuring fair academic and professional recognition.

The Diploma Supplement, issued in both Italian and English and free of charge for students, is available only to graduates of bachelor’s and specialist degree programmes pursuant to Ministerial Decree 509/1999, and to graduates of bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/2004.

Pursuant to Article 2 of Law 148/2002, the competence for the recognition of academic cycles and periods of study completed abroad, as well as foreign qualifications, for the purposes of access to higher education, continuation of university studies, and the award of Italian university degrees, lies with the Universities and Higher Education Institutes. These bodies exercise this authority autonomously and in accordance with their respective regulations, without prejudice to existing bilateral agreements in the matter.

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

For recognition of qualifications for professional purposes, participation in public competitions, or equivalence in general, please consult the website www.cimea.it.

1. International students and Italian citizens residing abroad may be eligible for partial waivers of the all-inclusive fee (COA) provided that the relevant ISEEU is available and documented by INPS. If the student does not authorize the University to directly access the ISEEU from INPS, or if the ISEEU is not available at INPS, the following provisions will apply for this category of students:
   Should it be impossible to determine the appropriate contribution bracket and the corresponding amounts to be paid, the University may, in specific and exceptional cases, use the ISEEU calculation simulation available through the INPS website www.inps.it or through similar simulation tools provided by other reputable Associations or Entities. 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.
   
   Documentation
   The documentation required to obtain partial COA waivers 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 and not translated or legalized by the Italian diplomatic authority in their country of origin, they must:

• have the income-related documents certified and translated at their Embassy or Consulate General in Italy
• have the documents legalized by a Prefecture
  
  For countries where obtaining such documentation is particularly difficult, the documents may be requested from the foreign diplomatic representations in Italy and legalized by the competent Italian Prefecture for the territory.
  If students are from countries without Italian diplomatic representations and where there are difficulties in obtaining the required documents, documentation already in the student's possession—if compliant with current regulations—or documents issued by UN International Agencies or recognized NGOs, will be accepted.
  
  Specifically, the following documentation must be provided, certifying:
• the composition of the family unit
• the income earned abroad by all members of the family unit
• the size (in square meters) and property value of residential real estate owned abroad by members of the family unit. If the family resides in rented housing, documentation of the annual rental amount as stated in the lease agreement is required
• the amount of movable assets (deposits, current accounts) belonging to the student’s family unit.

2. Pursuant to Article 13 of DPCM 9/04/2001, for international students from particularly poor countries, also considering the presence of a low human development index, as defined annually by Decree of the MUR in agreement with the MAECI, the assessment of economic status is made based on certification from the Italian representation in the country of origin, stating that the student does not belong to a high-income or high social status family. This certification may also be provided by Italian Entities authorized to guarantee economic coverage or, in exceptional cases, by the diplomatic representations in Italy of the student’s country of origin. These students are automatically placed in the first contribution bracket but remain liable for payment of the Regional Tax, Stamp Duty, and COA adjustments based on merit.
   
   For Academic Year 2026-2027, according to Ministerial Decree No. 166 of 3 March 2025, the following countries are considered particularly poor and developing (see the list below):
   Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, BurkinaFaso, Burundi, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia.

3. Students recognized as political refugees in Italy must submit the certification issued by the Italian Ministry of the Interior. Stateless students must attach a copy of the official documentation issued by the competent Italian Civil Court. These students are automatically placed in the first contribution bracket, but are nevertheless required to pay the Regional Tax, the Stamp Duty, and COA adjustments based on merit.

The total fee for enrollment/registration in the University’s Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree Programmes is to be paid in five installments according to the following deadlines within the academic year:
