Suspension of Studies

Suspension of Studies

The suspension of studies interrupts the student's university career and can be requested exclusively for the following cases:

• to continue university studies at Italian Military Academies or Training Institutes (Military Academies or Marshal Cadet Schools), or at Foreign Universities, until obtaining the relative academic degree (studies carried out during the suspension period can be partially or totally recognized by the academic authorities, upon request by the interested student);
• for female and male students, for the birth year of each child;
• for female and male students who are forced to interrupt their studies due to serious and prolonged illnesses, duly certified;
• for enrollment in a Specialization School, a University Master's Degree or a PhD, until obtaining the relative qualification.

During the suspension period it is not possible to perform any career act and the payment of university tuition and fees is suspended.

The request for the benefit cannot be revoked during the academic year and must be submitted annually.

Return from the suspension of studies

At the end of the suspension period, the student, within the deadlines set for enrollment in subsequent years, must request the activation of enrollment for the current academic year at the Student Registry desks or through the INFOSTUDENTE service.

Rejoining studies following an interruption

Students who have interrupted their studies for at least two academic years, and who have not incurred the forfeiture of student status, can resume their studies by rejoining their career through the payment of a fixed contribution (recognition fee) due for each of the academic years of non-enrollment.

The recognition fee amounts to € 200.00 for each year of non-enrollment. Students who intend to request the application of the aforementioned benefit cannot perform any career act in the academic years of study interruption.

The request cannot be revoked during the academic year.

How to apply

To request the rejoining of the interrupted university career, through the payment of the recognition fee, you must:

• go to the Student Registry desks equipped with a valid identity document to ascertain the possibility of taking advantage of the aforementioned benefit, verifying, at the same time, your career status, with particular reference to the current provisions regarding the forfeiture of student status;
• deliver to the Student Registry desks the stamped application addressed to the Rector to request the rejoining of the interrupted university career;
• wait for the Student Registry to insert, in your university career, the debts corresponding to the recognition fees due for the academic years of interruption;
• by accessing the "Student Reserved Area", using your credentials, proceed with the payment of the recognition fee amounts;
• once the payments have been made, the Student Registry will proceed to activate the enrollment for the current academic year.
