If you are eligible, you can reserve your place by paying the first instalment of university fees (€1,470) via the Enrolment Portal.
The reservation takes place in chronological order until places are exhausted and can take place until 15 December 2025.
In the event of an internal transfer, transfer, second degree or resumption of career, you must also pay the secretarial fees and upload the signed application form.
The place is reserved only after the validation of the documentation.
After graduating, complete enrolment within the deadlines.
At this stage, you will be asked for your baptismal certificate. If you do not have one, you can submit replacement documentation by choosing from these possibilities:
If you have been baptized but cannot find the original certificate, you can fill out a self-certification.
If you have not been baptized, you can make an appointment for an interview with the pastoral assistant on campus. After the interview, you will receive a valid certificate as replacement documentation. In case you have already made an appointment but are still waiting for the interview, you can temporarily submit a self-certification attesting to this situation.
Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI)
The Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI) is a compulsory test, included in the Admission Test, which serves to assess your starting level and support you in starting your university career.
Candidates who obtain at least 16/30 in the Admission Test pass the VPI.
Those who obtain a score of less than 16/30 receive an OFA (Additional Educational Obligation) in Knowledge of the Italian language and reading comprehension.
The OFA provides:
- a compulsory course with required attendance,
- a final skills test.
The course and the test must be completed and passed within the first year.
Any OFA assignment is communicated after enrolment on the personal iCatt page.

Finally, don't forget to enter your income data by the end of November, using the "Compila redditi" application, accessible from your personal iCatt page.
