For study programmes established under Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, a student is considered to have forfeited student status if they have not passed an exam for a number of years equal to twice the official length of the degree programme.

Student status will also be forfeited if university tuition fees are not paid for more than three consecutive academic years. This forfeiture does not apply to those who have passed all the required exams for their programme and only have the final degree exam remaining.

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

Thesis Regulations

By the indicated deadlines (no extensions will be granted) specified for each thesis session, students must submit their online application for thesis defense by logging in to Esse3Web. Information regarding the applicable fee can be found in the second part of the Study Guide.

At the time of the thesis application submission, students must have settled all required tuition fees and charges.

The application for thesis defense will be provisionally accepted by the Student Office, which will verify compliance with all applicable requirements.

Prior to the official graduation session date, students must have completed all ECTS credits required by their degree program plan.

Each student is responsible for regularly monitoring their acquired ECTS credits. If, upon review by the Undergraduate Studies Office, any credits are found to be incomplete, the student will no longer be eligible to defend the thesis.

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

Any changes resulting from decisions of the University bodies will be communicated on this website.

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

In case of loss, destruction, or theft of the original diploma, a duplicate may be issued upon the holder’s request, subject to 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 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 Registry Office.

Students who are not part of specific agreements between the University and other Institutions and who have documented employment in Italy are offered the following opportunities:

• enrolment in the working student category, either from the time of initial registration or later during their university studies
• assessment of any previous university studies with recognition of exams already passed
• recognition of previous documented professional training or work experience carried out with public or private organisations, provided it is consistent with the content and learning objectives of the relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme. This request must be submitted to the University Guidance Service. Recognition of this experience results in the awarding of the corresponding ECTS credits for internships/work placements
• the same number of examination sessions and dates provided for full-time, non-working, on-campus students, with the possibility of taking exams at the beginning of the session to reduce waiting times, subject to agreement with the course lecturer

Working students may indicate their intention to be included in this category during enrolment and when renewing their registration, by submitting documentation proving their status, which will be assessed by the Student Administration Office.

The same rules and procedures set out in the Academic Regulations for full-time students apply, including the possibility of partial exemptions for income based on 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 November 12, 2011, from January 1, 2012, public administrations and providers of public services can no longer request or accept certificates issued by other public offices from individuals.

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

Failure by public administration bodies or providers of public services to accept such declarations constitutes a breach of official duties.

On the “forms” page of this website, you may download templates for self-certification declarations, statutory declarations, and self-certification of previous university studies.

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

Certificates

Certificates remain valid and may be used in dealings with private entities and/or for international purposes.

According to current regulations, certificates issued are subject to a €16.00 stamp duty; certificates on plain paper can only be issued in cases expressly permitted by current legislation (Presidential Decree 642 of 26/10/1972 and subsequent provisions); in such cases, the student must explicitly specify the intended use of the certificate in their request.

Certificate requests must be made directly by the applicant. If the applicant is unavailable or unable to attend in person, collection may be delegated to a third party, who must appear at the Degree Programme Student Office with written authorization and a valid identity document.

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

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is an official academic record issued alongside the degree certificate, developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe, and UNESCO/CEPES to provide transparent and internationally comparable information about qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc.), thereby enabling fair academic and professional recognition.

The Diploma Supplement, prepared in both Italian and English and offered free of charge to students, is issued exclusively to first and second cycle graduates governed by Ministerial Decree 509/1999 and to first and second cycle graduates under Ministerial Decree 270/2004.

According to Article 2 of Law 148/2002, “responsibility for the recognition of cycles and periods of study undertaken abroad, as well as foreign academic qualifications, for the purpose of access to higher education, continuation of university studies, and the attainment of Italian university degrees, is assigned to Universities and University Institutes. These institutions exercise this responsibility autonomously and in accordance with their own regulations, except in cases covered by bilateral agreements.”

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 procedures apply for this student category:
   Should it prove impossible to determine the appropriate contribution bracket and the corresponding amounts due, the University may, in specific and highly exceptional cases, use a simulated ISEEU calculation obtained by connecting to the INPS website www.inps.it or similar simulation systems provided by other reputable Associations or Entities. For this purpose, the student must submit the documentation specified below, which will be considered valid for the standard duration of the study program.
   
   Documentation
   The documentation required to obtain partial exemptions 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 Registry 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 documents endorsed and translated at their Embassy or Consulate General in Italy
• have the documents legalized at a Prefecture
  
  For countries where it is particularly difficult to obtain such documentation, the documents may be requested from the relevant foreign diplomatic missions in Italy and legalized by the competent Italian Prefecture for the local area.
  For students coming from countries without Italian diplomatic representation and where it is difficult to obtain official documentation, any documents already in the student's possession will be accepted, provided they comply with current regulations, or alternatively, documents issued by UN International Agencies or recognized NGOs.
  
  Specifically, the following supporting documentation must be provided:
• proof of family composition
• evidence of income earned abroad by all members of the family unit
• the area (in square meters) and property value of residential real estate owned abroad by members of the family unit. If the family lives in a rented property, documentation of the annual rent due as stipulated in the rental contract must be provided

2. Pursuant to art. 13 of DPCM 9/04/2001, for international students from particularly poor countries, also considering a low human development index, as annually defined by Decree of the MUR in agreement with the MAECI, the assessment of economic condition is carried out on the basis of certification issued by the Italian representation in the student's country of origin, attesting that the student does not belong to a high-income or high social status family. Certification may also be issued by Italian institutions authorized to provide guarantees of 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 lowest contribution bracket but are still required to pay the Regional Tax, Stamp Duty, and are subject to adjustment of the COA based on merit.
   
   For the academic year 2026-2027, pursuant to Ministerial Decree no. 166 of 3 March 2025, the following countries are considered particularly poor and developing:

3. Students recognized as political refugees in Italy must attach the certificate 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 lowest contribution bracket, but are still required to pay the Regional Tax, Stamp Duty, and are subject to adjustment of the COA based on merit.
