All documents are
required both in their original language and in English or Italian. If the
documents are not issued by the school/university in English or Italian, they
should be legally translated.

Once you have
submitted the application through the Universitaly Portal, the Admissions
Office will verify the information you entered:

• In case some of
  the required documents are missing or your personal data are incorrect, you
  will be required to integrate the pre-enrollment application with the missing
  information and re-submit it.
• In case the information entered and the
  documents uploaded are correct, the application will be "validated".

Once the
application has been validated, it will be sent to the Italian Authority you
selected as in charge of your visa procedure. After this step, you will receive a
confirmation from the system and you will need to get in contact with the same
Italian Authority for further information on how to proceed with your
pre-enrollment and your visa appointment.

We strongly
recommend that you get in contact as soon as possible with the competent
Italian Authority to complete the pre-enrollment procedure. As a matter of fact,
the student visa procedure does not consist only in the application on
Universitaly, but it includes further steps to be completed at your
Embassy/Consulate.

With reference to the need of providing a Declaration of
Value (DoV), please refer to your own admission result and notifications in
your enrollment application to verify if you have been asked to provide such
document. Through your application on the Universitaly Portal, the Admissions
Office will inform the Italian Authority in charge of your procedure on whether
or not a DoV is requested. We remind you that as alternative to DoV, the
Statement of Comparability issued by CIMEA is also accepted.

As soon as you
receive your student visa, please upload a copy in the dedicated section in
your enrollment application. The upload is compulsory to finalize your
enrollment.
Without such document your enrollment will remain under “reserve”.

IMPORTANT: for technical assistance on Universitaly, please
contact the Help Desk at https://www.universitaly.it/support_jira.php

Within 8 working
days from your arrival in Italy holding a valid student visa, you must apply for a permit of stay
for study purposes ("Permesso di soggiorno per motivi di studio").

The application
for the permit of stay must be submitted at a competent Post Office. After the
application, you will receive 1 or 2 payment receipts and a sheet with the date
of your appointment at the local Police Office “Questura - Ufficio Stranieri”.

Further guidance
about this procedure will be provided during the Welcome Days at the end of
August 2023.

Please note that, after the
application at the Post Office, you are required to upload the receipts and the
sheet with the appointment date at “Questura” in the dedicated section in your
enrollment application. These documents are compulsory to finalize your
enrollment.
