Preferential rate

Housing assignment
 

at PREFERENTIAL RATE
 

The preferential rate for the accommodation service can only be applied to students who are in need but deserving and who meet the requirements (in terms of merit and income) for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship for the Right to University Education. 

For the preferential rate, 3 different fee levels based on the ISU brackets (1st, 2nd and 3rd ISU bracket) are foreseen, depending on the values indicated on the ISEE/ISEEU Parificato Certificate submitted at the moment of the application.

For all other students the full rate is applied.

Through the "Renewal" and the "New admission" application, rooms for the standard assignment period (late August 2024 — June 2025) will be assigned; this period meets the academic needs of most students.

Through the "Open reservation — recovery session" application, rooms at preferential rate will be assigned for the period January-June 2025.

Throughout the period in which the student is a resident in a Bocconi residence hall, room changes are not permitted. Instead, it is the right of Bocconi University to transfer the student, even during the year, to another residence hall at the rate provided for the new residence.

2) MERIT REQUIREMENT

For the purpose of eligibility to use the accommodation, the rules established in terms of merit requirements and detailed on the dedicated webpage for the different types of housing applications apply.

Before your arrival at the residence for a.y. 2024-25 you will have to pay the housing 1st installment and complete the online check-in procedure: the deadline for both will be August 5th, 2024. You will see the MAV form for the payment on your you@B once you'll have completed your enrollment for a.y. 2024-25

Fees, deadlines and methods of payment a.y. 2024-25
It is specified that the possibility of seeing the MAV form for the housing 1st installment will be open to all students who will result assignees of a room as of early July 2024, regardless of their personal situation with respect to the merit or the enrollment requirement (please see paragraph 5). In fact, the verification of the requirements needed to use the accommodation can happen only at a later stage, after the deadline for payment.

It will therefore be the student's responsibility to
verify that he/she has reached or is about to reach the merit and enrollment
requirements. Failure to meet the requirements will in no way result in the
cancellation of the amount due.

The University grants the right to leave the accommodation early and to withdraw from the commitment to such payment, exclusively in the foreseen cases of renunciation of the accommodation, proven by the specific academic reasons required for the acceptance of the renunciation request, and withdrawal from the accommodation, according to what detailed on the website pages dedicated to renunciation, withdrawal, cancellation and revocation.


Students
assigned housing for whom it is subsequently determined that they did not
regularly enroll for the a.y. 2024-25 or did not meet the merit requirements
will lose their right (eligibility) to use the Housing Service for the a.y.
2024-25. The assignment will be cancelled by the office and
students will be required to leave the assigned accommodation immediately. It
is specified that the payments due will remain the responsibility of the
student even in the event of cancellation of the assignment. For this reason,
before submitting a housing application, students are invited to pay particular
attention to the provisions regarding the cancellation of the housing
assignment, specified on the dedicated webpage.

If for a.y.
