Student status also lapses if university tuition fees have not been paid for more than three consecutive academic years. Forfeiture does not apply to students who have passed all required exams for their degree programme and have only the final graduation exam remaining.

In the year of thesis defence, students must be up to date with the payment of their enrolment fees. If there are any outstanding payments from previous years, the prescribed reinstatement fee must also be paid.

The thesis discussion request is provisionally accepted by the Student Office, which will verify compliance with the stipulated requirements.

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

All students are required to regularly check their acquired ECTS credits. If the Student Office finds that any credits have not been obtained, the student will not be permitted to defend the thesis.

In the case of postponement of the thesis defence to sessions in subsequent academic years, students must submit a new thesis discussion request and pay an additional fee (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

Any updates or changes established by university bodies will be communicated on this website.

The final degree certificate (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 holder, following submission of a self-certification attesting to the loss/destruction/theft/damage 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 replacement occurs due to damage to the original certificate, the latter must be returned to the Student Office.

Students not covered by specific agreements between the University and other Institutions, who carry out documented work activities in Italy, are offered the following opportunities:

• placement in the working student category, either at the time of enrolment or subsequently during their academic career
• evaluation 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 institutions, provided that it is consistent with the content and learning objectives of the relevant bachelor's or master's degree programme. Requests must be submitted to the University’s Guidance Service. Recognition of such experience will grant the corresponding ECTS credits for internships/traineeships
• the same number of exam sessions and on the same dates as full-time, non-working, on-campus students, with the possibility, subject to the lecturer's agreement, of taking the exam at the beginning of the session in order to reduce waiting times

Working students may, during enrolment and re-enrolment, state their intention to be included in this category by submitting a document proving their status, which will be evaluated by the Student Office.

The same rules and procedures established in the Study Guide apply to full-time students, including the possibility of partial fee exemptions based on income as determined by the ISEEU (see the second part of the Study Guide).

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

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

The failure by public administration bodies and public service providers to accept such self-declarations constitutes a violation of their official duties.

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

Each student, by accessing Esse3web, can download their self-certification for the exams taken.

Certificates

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

Requests for certificates must be made directly by the student. If the student is unavailable or unable to attend in person, a third party may be delegated to collect the certificate at the Degree Programme Student Office. The delegate must present a written authorization (on plain paper) and a valid form of identification.

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

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is an additional document accompanying the official qualification awarded, 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.), facilitating fair academic and professional recognition.

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

According to Article 2 of Law 148/2002, “the authority for the recognition of study cycles and periods completed abroad, and of foreign qualifications, for the purposes of access to higher education, continuation of university studies, and the awarding of Italian university degrees, is vested in Universities and Higher Education Institutes, which exercise this authority within their institutional autonomy and in accordance with their respective regulations, without prejudice to any relevant bilateral agreements.”

The ISEEU (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator for Universities) is used in Italy to measure the economic situation of families, taking into account income, assets (both movable and immovable), and household characteristics (size and composition).

This assessment is valid exclusively for the academic year of reference for enrolment and re-enrolment in successive years after the first.

Pursuant to Legislative Decree 68/2012, Art. 10, and INPS Circular 73/2015, the University will directly verify the existence of the ISEEU with INPS. The absence of verifiable data at INPS will result in assignment to the highest contributory bracket.

Students are required to submit their ISEEU.
The University does not provide any assistance in calculating the ISEEU and recommends consulting the authorised bodies or associations (CAF, accountants, etc.).

The student contribution bracket (for both regular and extended duration students) is determined based on the ISEEU value, as indicated in tables G, H, and I below. For amounts relating to 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) introduced the “No Tax Area” (for university students within the standard duration of studies or one year beyond, with ISEE Università up to €22,000.00) and the “Low Tax Area” (for students within or one year beyond the standard duration of studies, with ISEE Università between €22,000.01 and €30,000.00).

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

1. have submitted an ISEE “Università” statement equal to or less than €22,000.00
2. have been enrolled at the University for a number of academic years no greater than the normal duration of their degree programme plus one
3. for enrolment in the second academic year, have earned at least 10 ECTS credits by 10 August of the first year
4. for enrolment in subsequent years beyond the second, have earned at least 25 ECTS credits in the twelve months preceding 10 August prior to the respective re-enrolment

2. Working students or non-affiliated workers
   For students not covered by agreements and who provide documentation of employment in Italy, a partial exemption of €100.00 is applied to the fifth installment. If the fifth installment is less than this amount, the available amount will be deducted and any remaining balance will not be refunded.
3. High-achieving students enrolled for more than one year
   For students enrolled in years after the first, merit is calculated based on the following parameters: average grade achieved and number of credits earned from first enrollment up to 31 October 2026.
   Suitability tests, exams not graded out of thirty, and validated or waived exams are excluded from this calculation.

Merit Assessment

Students eligible for this reduction are those who, with an average grade of at least 27/30, have earned all curriculum credits (CFU) required by their statutory study plan between matriculation and 31 October 2026.

1. International students and Italian students residing abroad may be eligible for partial exemptions from the all-inclusive tuition fee (COA), provided that the relevant ISEEU certificate is available and documented with INPS. If the student does not authorize the University to directly obtain the ISEEU from INPS or if there is no ISEEU available with INPS, the following provisions will apply to this category of students:
   Should it be impossible to determine the tuition bracket and the related amounts to be paid, the University may, in particular and highly exceptional cases, use a simulated ISEEU calculation, which can be verified through the INPS website at www.inps.it or through similar 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 the legal duration of the degree program.
   
   Documentation
   The documentation required to obtain partial COA exemptions must be issued by the competent authorities of the country where the income was generated, 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 or not translated and legalized by the Italian diplomatic authority in the country of origin, the student must:

• have their income documents certified and translated by their Embassy or General Consulate in Italy
• have the documents legalized at a Prefecture
  
  For those countries where there are significant difficulties in issuing such documentation, it may be requested from the foreign diplomatic representations in Italy and legalized by the competent Italian Prefecture for the relevant territory.
  For students coming from countries where there are no Italian diplomatic representations and there are difficulties in obtaining documentation, documentation already in the student’s possession will be accepted if it complies with current regulations, or alternatively, documentation issued by United Nations international agencies or recognized NGOs.
  
  Specifically, the required documentation includes certification of:
• the composition of the household
• income earned abroad by all household members
• the surface area, expressed in square meters, and property value of residential real estate owned abroad by household members. If the household resides in rented accommodation, documentation regarding the annual rent specified in the rental agreement must be provided
• the amount of movable assets (deposits, current accounts) held by the student's household.

2. Pursuant to Article 13 of DPCM 9/04/2001, for foreign students from particularly poor countries, including those with a low human development index, as established annually by Decree of the Ministry of Universities and Research in agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the assessment of the economic condition is based on a certificate issued by the Italian representation in the country of origin stating that the student does not belong to a high-income or high social standing family.
