For study programs established before the university reform under Ministerial Decree 509/99, a student is considered to have lost their university student status if, although regularly enrolled as an out-of-course student, they have not passed any exams for eight consecutive years.

For study programs established under Ministerial Decrees 509/1999 and 270/2004, a student is considered to have lost their university student status if they have not passed a single complete exam for a number of years equal to twice the legal duration of the program.

Furthermore, student status is lost if university fees are not paid for more than three consecutive academic years.

This status loss is interrupted if a student requests and obtains a transfer to another undergraduate or graduate program within the University.

This loss of status does not affect those who have passed all the required exams in their program and only owe the final degree exam.

In the year the thesis is discussed, students must be up to date with the payment of the registration fee, and if any payments are missing from previous years, the required reunification fee will also need to be paid.

Thesis Regulations

Within the stated deadlines (extensions are not allowed) specified for each thesis session (see graduation session calendar), students must submit their thesis discussion request online by accessing Esse3web.

For information about the relevant fee, refer to the second part of the Handbook.

When submitting the thesis application, students must be up to date with the payment of all required fees and dues.

The request for thesis discussion is accepted provisionally by the Registrar's Office, which will verify compliance with the required criteria.

Before the graduation session date, students must have earned all the credits (CFU) required by their curriculum.

Each student is responsible for periodically checking the credits (CFU) they have earned.

If, upon review by the Registrar's Office, it is found that required credits (CFU) have not been earned, the student will not be able to discuss their thesis.

If the discussion is postponed to sessions in subsequent academic years, students must submit a new request for thesis discussion and pay an additional fee (see the second part of the Handbook).

For the thesis discussion session in case of reinstatement, refer to the second part of the Handbook.

Any changes decided by the university authorities 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, upon request of the holder, a duplicate will be issued following submission of a self-declaration stating the loss/destruction/theft/deterioration of the parchment and payment of a fee (see the second part of the Manifesto).

The new document will bear 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 Registrar’s Office.

Students who are not covered by specific agreements signed by the University with other institutions and who carry out documented work activity in Italy are offered the following opportunities:

• inclusion in the category of working students starting from enrollment
• assessment of any previous university career with recognition of exams already passed
• recognition of previous documented professional training or work experience carried out at public or private institutions, provided it is consistent with the content and educational objectives of the bachelor’s/ master’s degree program enrolled in. The request must be submitted to the University’s Orientation Service. Such recognition determines the awarding of the credits (CFU) related to internships/traineeships
• the same number of exam sessions and on the same dates as scheduled for full-time, on-campus students who do not work, with the possible option to take the exam at the beginning of the session to reduce waiting times, subject to agreement with the course professor

Working students may declare their intention to be included in this category during enrollment and registration renewal, attaching documentation proving this status, which will be assessed by the Registrar’s Office.

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

Working students are granted a reduction of €100.00 on the last installment (see second part of the 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 produced by other public offices from private individuals. Information relating to personal status, personal qualities, and facts must be provided in the form of a self-certification declaration (Art. 46 D.P.R. 445/2000) or a statutory declaration (Art. 47 D.P.R. 445/2000).

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

On the "forms" page of this website, it is possible to download forms for the self-certification declaration, the statutory declaration, and the self-certification of previous university career.

Every student, by accessing Esse3web, will be able to download the self-certification of the exams passed.

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 in order to provide transparent and internationally comparable information on qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc.), allowing for fair academic and professional recognition.

The issuance of the Diploma Supplement, drafted in Italian and English and free of charge for students, is provided only for graduates of bachelor's and specialized degree programs pursuant to Ministerial Decree 509/99 and for graduates of bachelor's and master's degree programs pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/04.

According to Art. 2 of Law 148/2002, "The responsibility for recognizing study cycles and periods completed abroad and foreign qualifications, for the purposes of access to higher education, continuation of university studies, and the awarding of Italian university degrees, lies with the Universities and University-level Institutes, which exercise this authority within the framework of their own autonomy and in accordance with their respective regulations, without prejudice to any bilateral agreements on the matter."

Documentation to be submitted

The ISEEU (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator for University) is used in Italy to assess the economic situation of families, taking into account income, assets (movable and immovable), and the characteristics of the family unit (size and type).

This status is valid only for the academic year of reference for enrollment/registration and renewal of registration for years beyond the first.

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

Students are required to submit the ISEEU to INPS.
The University does not offer any assistance in calculating the ISEEU and recommends contacting the appropriate entities or associations (CAF, accountant, etc.).

Based on the value of the ISEEU, the contribution bracket for students (regular or out-of-course) is determined, as indicated in the following tables G, H, and I. For information regarding the TRIN master's degree program, refer to table L.

The 2017 Budget Law (Law 232/2016 and subsequent amendments, including DM 1014 of 03/08/2021) introduced the "No Tax Area" (for university students in their regular years and those one year out-of-course with a University ISEE up to €22,000.00) and the "Low Tax Area" (for university students in their regular years and those one year out-of-course with a University ISEE between €22,000.01 and €30,000.00).

In the first case (No Tax Area) students enrolled in degree courses who jointly meet the following requirements are exempt from paying the COA and are only required to pay the first installment for enrollment/registration:

1. have submitted a "University" ISEE certification equal to or less than €22,000.00
2. be enrolled in the University for a number of academic years equal to or less than the normal duration of the type of degree program attended, plus one
3. in the case of enrollment in the second academic year, have obtained at least 10 university credits by August 10 of the first year
4. in the case of enrollment in years beyond the second, have obtained at least 25 credits in the twelve months preceding August 10 before the relevant enrollment

For first-year enrollment, the only requirements to be met are those in points a) and b).

In the second case (Low Tax Area), students enrolled in degree programs who have submitted a "University" ISEE certification between €22,000.01 and €30,000.00 and meet both requirements in points b) and c), are required to pay a COA graduated according to table G.

For first-year enrollment, the only requirement is to have submitted a "University" ISEE certification between €22,000.01 and €30,000.00.

Applicable only for the first year of enrollment in the course of the last family member enrolled, and applies to both family members. Eligible students must be part of the same household. A 20% discount is applied to the COA amount according to their contribution bracket.

b) Working students or non-contracted workers
For students not included in agreements and who can prove they carry out work activities in Italy, a partial exemption of €100.00 is granted on the fifth installment. If the fifth installment is less than this amount, the available amount will be deducted and there will be no reimbursement of any surplus.

c) Meritorious students already enrolled for more than one year
For students enrolled in years after the first, the assessment of merit is based on the following parameters: the average grade achieved and the number of credits earned from enrollment up to October 31, 2025.
Eligibility tests, those not graded out of thirty, and validated or waived exams are excluded from the calculation.

Merit Assessment

Students benefit from this reduction if, with an average of 27/30 or above, they have earned all the required credits (CFU) outlined in the official study plan between enrollment and October 31, 2025.

1. International students and Italian students residing abroad may obtain partial exemptions from the all-inclusive contribution (COA) provided that the relevant ISEEU is available and documented at INPS. If the student does not authorize the University to directly acquire the ISEEU from INPS, and in the absence of ISEEU at INPS, the following applies for this category of students:
   If it is not possible to determine the relevant contribution bracket and the corresponding amounts to be paid, the University may, in specific and entirely exceptional cases, use a simulated calculation of the ISEEU, which can be checked via a link with the INPS website www.inps.it or with similar simulation systems provided by other reputable Associations or Bodies. For this purpose, the student must submit the documentation specified below, which will be considered valid for a number of years equivalent to the legal duration of the study 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 Registrar's Office by February 28, 2026.
   
   If the student arrives in Italy with only documents in the original language and not translated or legalized by the Italian diplomatic authority in their home country, they must:

• certify and translate the income documents at their Embassy or Consulate General in Italy
• legalize the documents at a Prefecture
  
  For those countries where it is particularly difficult to obtain such documentation, it may be requested from the foreign diplomatic offices in Italy and then legalized by the relevant Italian Prefecture.
  For students coming from countries without Italian diplomatic representation and where it is difficult to obtain documentation, any documentation already in the student’s possession will be accepted if compliant with current regulations, or documentation issued by UN International Agencies or recognized NGOs.
  
  Specifically, documentation must be provided certifying:
• the composition of the family unit
• the income received abroad by all members of the family unit
• the area, expressed in square meters, and real estate value of properties for residential use owned abroad by members of the family unit. If the family lives in rented accommodation, proof of the annual rent specified in the lease agreement must be provided
