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

Student status is also lost if university fees have not been paid for more than three consecutive academic years. Loss of student status does not apply to those who have passed all the required exams for their study programme and only need to complete the final degree exam.

In the year the thesis is discussed, the student must be up to date with the payment of tuition fees. In the event of missed payments in previous years, the required reinstatement fee must also be paid.

By the deadlines specified for each thesis session (extensions are not permitted), students must submit their online application to defend their thesis by accessing Esse3Web. Information regarding the applicable fee is available in the second part of the Academic Regulations.

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

The thesis defense application will be provisionally accepted by the Registrar’s Office, which will verify compliance with the necessary requirements.

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

Students are responsible for regularly checking the ECTS credits they have earned. If the Registrar’s Office finds that any credits are missing, the student will not be permitted to defend their thesis.

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

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

The final degree certificate (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, or deterioration of the parchment, and payment of a fee (see the second part of the Student Guide).

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 Registrar’s Office.

Students who are not included in specific agreements established by the University with other institutions and who are engaged in documented employment in Italy are offered the following opportunities:

• the possibility to be classified as working students, either at the time of enrolment or subsequently during their academic career
• assessment of any previous university studies, with recognition of exams already passed
• recognition of prior professional training or documented work experience carried out at public or private institutions, provided it is consistent with the content and educational objectives of the enrolled bachelor's or master's degree programme. The request must be submitted to the University’s Guidance Service. Recognition of such experience results in the awarding of ECTS credits related to internships/traineeships
• the same number of exam sessions and exam dates as are scheduled for full-time, non-working, on-campus students, with the possibility to take the exam at the beginning of the session in order to reduce waiting times, subject to agreement with the relevant instructor

Working students may indicate their request to be included in this category at the time of enrolment or re-enrolment by providing the required supporting documentation, which will be assessed by the Student Registry Office.

The same rules and procedures outlined in the Academic Regulations for full-time students apply, including the possibility of partial tuition exemptions based on income, according to the ISEEU (see Part II of the Academic Regulations).

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

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

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is a document that complements the official academic qualification obtained. It was developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe, and UNESCO/CEPES to provide transparent and internationally comparable data on qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc.), facilitating fair academic and professional recognition.

The Diploma Supplement is issued in both Italian and English free of charge to students, and is available only to first-cycle and second-cycle graduates under Ministerial Decree 509/1999 and to first-cycle 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 completed 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, is assigned to universities and higher education institutes. These institutions exercise this authority autonomously and in accordance with their own regulations, subject to any relevant bilateral agreements.

• have the income-related 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, the documents may be requested from the foreign diplomatic representations in Italy and legalized by the relevant Italian Prefecture.
