Once the transfer application has been submitted, students are not permitted to take any examinations. The completion of the administrative transfer process will be communicated in writing to the student concerned and, for information, to the destination university. 

The student must first contact the Registrar’s Office of the destination university to inquire about the possibility of being accepted for transfer. 

Transferred students are not allowed to return to the Università per Stranieri until one year has passed from the date of application, except in particularly serious circumstances as assessed by the relevant university bodies.

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

The student must first go to the Student Registry Office at their home university to request authorization. The application will be finalized only after checks by the Degree Program Student Office of this University. Any request for recognition of exams will be evaluated by the relevant departments.

Interruption occurs when a student does not renew their enrollment for at least one academic year, whereas suspension is a formal request made by the student in the following cases:

• performing civil service during the same academic year

During periods of interruption or suspension, students may not carry out any academic activities. To resume studies, a specific application must be submitted (using the form available on the “forms” page of this website), which will be assessed by the Degree Programme Office. Reinstatement requires the payment of a fee (see the second part of the Student Handbook).

It is not possible to reinstate records for study programs that are no longer active, except in cases where the student only needs to take the final degree examination (see art. 5.3) or for discontinued programs whose courses are still offered by the University.

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).

Once the withdrawal is submitted, no further academic actions will be possible and any fees already paid will not be refunded.

For degree programmes established prior to the university reform introduced by Ministerial Decree 509/1999, students are considered to have forfeited their university student status if, although still formally enrolled as extended-term students, they have not passed any examinations for eight consecutive years.

For degree programmes established under Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, students are considered to have forfeited their student status if they have not passed any examination for a period of years equal to twice the official duration of their degree programme.

Student status is also forfeited if university tuition fees are not paid for more than three consecutive academic years. Forfeiture does not apply to students who have passed all required examinations for their programme and only have their final degree examination outstanding.

In the year in which the thesis is discussed, students must be up to date with their enrolment fee. If there are outstanding payments from previous years, the reconsolidation fee must also be paid.

Thesis Regulations

By the specified deadlines for each thesis session (no extensions are allowed), students must submit their thesis discussion request online via Esse3Web. For information about the applicable fee, please refer to the second part of the Study Guide.

At the time of submitting the thesis application, students must be up to date with payments of all required tuition fees and administrative charges.

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

Students must have obtained all ECTS credits included in their study plan before the degree session date.

Each student is responsible for regularly verifying their accumulated ECTS credits. If the Student Office finds that not all required credits have been earned, the student will not be allowed to defend their thesis.

If the thesis defence is postponed 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 Study Guide).

Any changes issued by university authorities will be communicated on this website.

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

In case of loss, destruction, or theft of the original diploma, upon request by the holder, a duplicate may be issued upon submission of a self-certification stating 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 declaring that it is a duplicate of the original diploma. If the replacement is due to deterioration of the original certificate, the original must be returned to the Student Administration Office.

The following opportunities are offered to students who are not part of specific agreements established by the University with other Institutions and who carry out documented work activities in Italy:

• enrollment in the working students category, either at the time of registration or subsequently during their university career
• assessment of any previous university studies, with recognition of exams already passed
• recognition of prior documented professional training or work experience carried out at public or private entities, 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 Orientation Service. Recognition of such experience results in the awarding of the corresponding ECTS credits for internships/placements
• the same number of exam sessions and scheduled dates as full-time, on-campus students, with the possible option to take the exam at the beginning of the session to reduce waiting times, subject to agreement with the relevant instructor

Working students may indicate their intention to be assigned to this category during registration and renewal processes by attaching a document proving their status, which will be reviewed by the Student Office.

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

Working students are granted a €100 reduction on the final installment (see the second part of the Academic Regulations).

In accordance with Article 40 of Presidential Decree 445/2000, as amended by Article 15 of Law No. 183 of 12 November 2011, since 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-certification (Article 46, Presidential Decree 445/2000) or a statutory declaration (Article 47, Presidential Decree 445/2000).

Failure by public administration bodies or public service providers to accept such self-certifications constitutes a breach of official duties.

On the “forms” page of this website, you can download templates for self-certifications, statutory declarations, and previous university career declarations.

Every student can download a self-certification of their examinations via Esse3web.

Certificates

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

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

Certificate requests must be submitted directly by the applicant. If the applicant is unavailable or unable to collect the certificate in person, a third party may be authorised for collection by presenting a simple written authorization and a valid ID at the Degree Programmes Office.

The certificate may also be mailed to the address indicated in writing by the applicant.
The University assumes no responsibility for any postal delays or issues.

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

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

Pursuant to Article 2 of Law 148/2002, “the authority for the recognition of cycles and periods of study undertaken abroad, as well as foreign qualifications, for the purposes of admission to higher education, continuation of university studies, and the awarding of Italian university degrees, lies with Universities and Higher Education Institutes, which exercise this authority within their own autonomy and in accordance with their respective regulations, subject to any bilateral agreements in the matter.”

If the student does not authorize the University to directly obtain their ISEEU from INPS, or if no ISEEU is available at INPS, the following procedures will apply for this category of students:
   Should it be impossible to determine the appropriate contribution bracket and the corresponding amounts payable, the University may, in specific and exceptional cases, directly use an ISEEU estimate calculated via the INPS website www.inps.it or similar simulation systems provided by reputable Associations or Entities. For this purpose, the student must submit the documentation specified below, which will remain valid for the legal duration of the study program.
   
   Required Documentation
   The documentation needed to obtain partial waivers of the COA must be issued by the competent authorities of the country where the income is generated, translated into Italian, and legalized. This documentation must be submitted to the Student Administration Office by 26 February 2027.
   
   If the student comes to Italy with documents only in the original language, not translated or legalized by the Italian diplomatic authority in their home country, they must:

• have their income documents endorsed and translated at their Embassy or Consulate General in Italy
• have their documents legalized at a Prefecture
  
  For countries where there are particular difficulties in obtaining such documentation, it may be requested from foreign diplomatic missions in Italy and then legalized by the competent Italian Prefecture.
  In the case of students from countries without Italian diplomatic offices, or where it is difficult to obtain the required documentation, 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.
  
  Specifically, you must submit documentation attesting to:
• 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 rents their accommodation, you must provide documentation showing the annual rent as stated in the tenancy agreement

This certification may also be issued by authorized Italian Entities providing guarantees of financial coverage, or, exceptionally, by the diplomatic missions in Italy of the student’s country of origin. These students are automatically placed in the first contribution bracket but are still required to pay the Regional Fee, Stamp Duty, and may have the COA adjusted based on merit.
   
   For the academic year 2026-2027, according to Ministerial Decree no. 166 of 3 March 2025, the following countries are considered particularly poor and developing:
   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.
