Students who enrolled in the A.Y. 2025/2026 are entitled to a refund of the 1st instalment (excluding the €16 stamp duty and €11.04 insurance) if they submit the waiver application by:
- 19 November 2025 for students who enrolled in the 1st semester
- 22 April 2026 for students who enrolled in the 2nd semester
Please note: applications for withdrawal submitted after 20 November 2025 (for first-semester first-year students) or 23 April 2026 (for second-semester first-year students) will be accepted without entitlement to a refund of the first instalment, and only after settling any outstanding balance of the annual all-inclusive tuition fee, calculated based on the ECTS credits included in the study plan and the Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE/ISEEU) valid at the time of withdrawal.
If you wish to reduce the amount of the all-inclusive fee, you may wait to submit your withdrawal request until after the study plan's semester modification period,
during which you can remove second-semester courses initially selected in September.
Please note that for the School of Design, there is no semester modification window. In this case, you must contact the Student Registrar’s Office before the start of the second semester.
Students enrolled on single courses with a number of ECTS greater than 32 shall be required to also pay the second instalment if they submit a withdraw request after 19 November 2025 (first semester) or after 22 April 2026 (second semester).
Students who have paid the first instalment without completing their enrolment may request withdrawal and a refund by contacting the Student Registrar’s Office.
The refund does not include the €16 stamp duty and € 11.04 insurance, and is not payable in the event that registration certificates with stamp duty have been requested and have been used.
All other students may request to withdraw at any time during the academic year, provided they are up to date with tuition payments for their last academic year of enrolment.
Important: students who have already paid the first instalment for the 2025/2026 academic year are not entitled to any reimbursement and must pay any remaining balance of the all-inclusive tuition fee, based on the ECTS credits included in the study plan and the Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE/ISEEU) valid at the time of withdrawal.
If you wish to reduce the amount of the all-inclusive fee, you may wait to submit your withdrawal request until after the study plan's semester modification period, during which you can remove second-semester courses initially selected in September.
Please note that for the School of Design, there is no semester modification window. In this case, you must contact the Student Registrar’s Office before the start of the second semester.
How to make a request
To abandon your studies, go to your Online Services > Career data > Transfer request, withdrawal, suspension, follow the procedure indicated in the appropriate application, completing the procedure with the payment of stamp duty/any back taxes. Attention: without payment of stamp duty, it is non possible to apply for withdrawal.
Payment of the stamp duty and any back taxes, necessary to complete the application for withdrawal from studies, can be made at the end of the presentation of the application, choosing between immediate payment by prepaid credit card and subsequent payment by home banking.
Attention: the application for withdrawal from studies will be handled by the Registrar’s Office which will carry out the necessary checks for acceptance and definitive registration, in the meantime, please note that it is possible to SELF-CERTIFY (law DPR 245/2000) that you have submitted the application for renunciation online in case it is needed for access to other italian public universities.
For new students of the a.y. 2025/2026 in the first semester of a degree programme, a master's degree programme or single programmes that apply by 19 November 2025 will receive reimbursement more or less by the end of March 2026.
For new freshmen of the a.y. 2025/2026 in the second semester of a master's degree programme or single programmes that apply by 22 April 2026 will receive reimbursement approximately by the end of September 2026.
If you withdraw and later decide to re-enrol, you must follow the enrolment procedure applicable to new students. To re-enrol following withdrawal, refer to the instructions in the section dedicated to Future students. Any recognition of the credits acquired is the responsibility of the relevant Study Programme Board, after verifying their validity.
If you are a foreign student already enrolled with an Italian university, you have abandoned your studies and want to request a new enrolment at the same or another university, you cannot use the specific residence permit for study issued when you previously enrolled.
Formalizing the withdrawal from studies determines the lack of the requisites required for the stay in the country and, consequently, the revocation of the authorisation (see article 5, paragraph 3, 4 and 5 of Legislative Decree 25 July 1998, no. 286 "Consolidated text of the provisions concerning the discipline of immigration and rules on the state of the foreigner" and subsequent amendments)." You will therefore need to get a new student visa.
