Certificates and Self-certifications

If you need to certify your degree or examinations to Italian public sector authorities (also abroad) or private Administrators of public services (e.g. legally recognised private Universities) by Italian law you can no longer use certificates issued by the University but self-declarations. Self-declarations are pre-filled and available in the university Online Services under the section “menu-home-certifications and changes to study plan”. It will be the Authority to which you submit your self-declaration that will eventually ask the University to confirm what you declared.

In the University Online Services, you can find:

• Self-declaration of years of enrolment
• Self-declaration of enrolment with examinations
• Self-declaration of qualification
• Self-declaration of qualification with examinations
• Self-declaration of qualification with years of degree course for redemption of social security contributions pertaining to the period of university study
• Self-declaration for abandoning/forfeiting studies
• Self-declaration for abandoning/forfeiting studies with exams

and PER YEAR DECLARATIONS OF PAYMENT OF FEES referred to the last two years.

For declarations relating to payments for years prior to the last two, contact the Ufficio carriere

Certificates issued by the University remain valid and usable to private parties and/or abroad.

The following certificates are available in Italian or English:

1. Enrolment

2. Enrolment with exams (Transcripts of records)

3. Graduation

4. Graduation with exams (Transcripts of records)

To request them you have to contact Ufficio carriere by email, and you have to indicate:

- type of certificate;

- use for which you are requesting the certificate; whom it is intended for;

- whether you need it for Italy or abroad;

- whether you need it in Italian or English.

Depending on the use indicated, except those cases expressly foreseen by law, a stamp duty of € 16,00 will be charged in the Online Services, under the section “payments”.
