For degree programmes established under Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, a student loses their university student status if they have not passed any exams for a number of years equivalent to twice the programme’s official duration.

Student status is also revoked if university tuition fees have not been paid for a period exceeding three consecutive academic years. This provision does not apply to students who have completed all required coursework and are only missing the final degree examination.

In the year in which the thesis is discussed, the student must be up to date with the payment of enrolment fees. In the event of unpaid fees from previous years, the legally required reinstatement fee will also apply.

Thesis Regulations

By the deadlines specified for each thesis session (no extensions are permitted), students must submit their thesis discussion request online via Esse3Web. Information regarding the related fee can be found in the second part of the Academic Regulations.

At the time of applying for the thesis, students must have paid all required tuition fees and dues.

The thesis discussion request will be provisionally accepted by the Student Administration Office, which will verify compliance with the relevant requirements.

Before the graduation session date, students must have obtained all ECTS credits required by their programme of study.

Each student is responsible for regularly checking the ECTS credits they have earned. If the Student Administration Office finds that some credits have not been obtained, 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 request for thesis discussion and pay an additional fee (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Any changes made by university governing bodies will be announced 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 of the certificate holder, subject to submission of a self-certification declaring 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 of the original, the damaged certificate must be returned to the Student Administration Office.

For students who are not included in specific agreements between the University and other institutions and who carry out documented employment activities in Italy, the following opportunities are available:

• admission to the category of working students, either at the time of enrollment or later during their university career
• evaluation of any previous university career with recognition of exams already completed
• recognition of previous documented professional training or work experience carried out with public or private entities, provided it is consistent with the content and learning objectives of the degree or master's degree program of enrollment. Requests must be submitted to the University’s Career Guidance Service. Recognition of such experience results in the awarding of the ECTS credits relating to internships/placements
• the same number of exam sessions and on the same dates as full-time, on-campus, non-working students, with the possible option to sit the exam at the beginning of the session to reduce waiting times, subject to agreement with the course instructor

Working students may indicate their intention to be included in this category both at the time of enrollment and when renewing their registration, by submitting documentation certifying this status, which will be evaluated by the Student Office.

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

Working students are entitled to a €100 reduction on the final installment (see second part of the Student 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 1st, 2012, public administrations and providers of public services are no longer permitted to request or accept certificates from private individuals that have been issued by other public offices.

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

The failure by public administration bodies and providers of public services to accept such declarations constitutes a breach of official duties.

On the “forms” page of this website, it is possible to download templates for self-certification, statutory declarations, and prior university career statements.

All students can log in to Esse3web to download a self-certification regarding their completed exams.

Certificates

Certificates remain valid and may be used in relations between private individuals and/or for international purposes.

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

Requests for certificates must be made directly by the applicant. In the event of their unavailability or inability to collect, a third party may be delegated to do so, provided they present the Degree Programmes Office with a written authorization (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 a document that complements the official qualification obtained. It was developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe, and UNESCO/CEPES with the aim of providing transparent and internationally comparable information on qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc.), thereby facilitating fair academic and professional recognition.

The Diploma Supplement is issued free of charge to students and is drafted in both Italian and English. It is available only to graduates of first and second cycle programmes governed by Ministerial Decree 509/1999 and to graduates of bachelor's and master's degree programmes governed by Ministerial Decree 270/2004.

According to Article 2 of Law 148/2002, “the competence for the recognition of cycles and periods of study completed abroad, as well as foreign academic qualifications for the purposes of access to higher education, continuation of university studies, and award of Italian university degrees, is entrusted to the Universities and Institutes of higher education, which exercise it within their own autonomy and in accordance with their respective regulations, without prejudice to any bilateral agreements in the field.”

Students are required to submit their ISEEU.
The University does not offer any assistance in calculating the ISEEU and recommends contacting authorised centres or associations (CAF, tax consultant, etc.).

The contribution bracket for students (regular/over the standard duration) is determined based on the ISEEU value, as indicated in tables G, H, and I below. For the amounts for the TRIN Master’s Degree programme, please refer to Table L.

The 2017 Budget Law (Law 232/2016 and subsequent amendments including Ministerial Decree 1014 of 03/08/2021) has introduced the “No Tax Area” (for students who are either within the standard duration or one year over, with University ISEE up to €22,000.00) and the “Low Tax Area” (for students within the standard duration or one year over, with University ISEE between €22,000.01 and €30,000.00).

In the first case (No Tax Area), students in degree programmes who jointly meet the following requirements are exempt from paying the COA and only need to pay the first instalment for enrolment/registration:

1. have submitted a “University” ISEE certificate equal to or less than €22,000.00
2. are enrolled for a number of academic years equal to or less than the standard duration of their programme plus one additional year
3. if enrolling in the second academic year, have obtained at least 10 ECTS credits by 10 August of the first year
4. if enrolling in subsequent years beyond the second, have obtained at least 25 ECTS credits within the twelve months preceding 10 August prior to the relevant registration

International students and Italian students residing abroad may be eligible for partial waivers of the all-inclusive contribution fee (COA), provided that the relevant ISEEU (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator for University) is available and duly documented at INPS. If the student does not authorize the University to directly obtain the ISEEU from INPS, or if the ISEEU is not available at INPS, the following procedure will apply to this category of students:
   Should it be impossible to determine the applicable contribution band and the related amounts due, the University may, in specific and exceptional cases, directly use the ISEEU simulation available through the INPS website at www.inps.it, or through equivalent simulation tools provided by other reputable associations or entities. For this purpose, the student is required to submit the following documentation, which will be considered valid for the legal duration of the study program.
   
   Documentation
   Documentation for partial COA waivers must be issued by the competent authorities in the country where income was generated, translated into Italian, and legalized. Such documentation must be submitted to the Student Registry by 26 February 2027.
   
   If the student arrives in Italy with documents only in the original language and without translation or legalization by the Italian diplomatic authorities in their home country, the student must:

• have the income documents certified 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, it may also be requested from foreign diplomatic representations in Italy and legalized by the competent Italian Prefecture.
  For students coming from countries without Italian diplomatic representation and where obtaining documentation is difficult, documents already in the student's possession will be accepted if compliant with current regulations, or those issued by UN International Agencies or recognized NGOs.
  
  The following documentation must be provided:
• certificate of family composition
• evidence of income earned abroad by all family members
