On the day of presentation at the Police Headquarters, you will need to bring your photographs and be called to undergo photographic procedures and fingerprinting.  

In cases where the dossier/kit needs to be integrated with further documentation, you will be informed by the Police Headquarters at the contact details indicated in the kit.  

Upon presentation of the KIT, the Post Office will issue a receipt of delivery of the residence permit application , which is equivalent to the receipt of submission of the dossier produced at the Police Headquarters and which also serves as proof of authorized presence in Italy.

Subsequently, students will be supported in enrolling "conditionally" in the course of study until their previous academic career is recognized and they are enrolled in the year indicated in the agreement.

Students will be required to pay the fees agreed upon in the agreement.

After payments, students are assigned a student ID:
a unique numeric identification code required for all formalities (booking exams, taking exams, etc.).

The student ID number helps protect student privacy because it is used in public spaces (noticeboards and web pages) instead of student data.
An institutional email address is then generated (in the format [email protected] ), which must be used for communicating with the University.
