Withdrawing from your studies

Withdrawing from your studies is irrevocable and involves terminating the university career and losing student status.

You can withdraw at any point of the academic year, but please bear the following in mind:

• If you withdraw between 1 January 2023 and the expiry of the second instalment, you must pay 250 Euro (but you must pay the second instalment if it amounts to less than 250 Euro);
• If you withdraw after the expiry of the second instalment but before the third instalment expires, you will have to pay the second instalment, but you will not be asked to pay the third one;
• If you withdraw after the third instalment has expired, you will be required to pay the second and third instalments.

In addition, if you withdraw from studies:

1. you must be up-to-date with payment of the university fees and contributions for all the academic years of enrolment;
2. you must not make use of any benefits offered by the Right to Study Service (scholarships, canteens and housing), nor must you owe any outstanding amounts to the same service (parts of scholarship amounts to be refunded, parts for housing or catering still to be returned);
3. you must not be in possession of books or other materials belonging to the University libraries.

The procedure is available in the personal page for students up-to-date with payment of the university fees and contributions, who are attending courses belonging to university systems regulated by Ministerial decree 509/99 or 270/04.

Differently, students that owe fees or contribution amounts and / or are enrolled in degree courses belonging to the old university system (prior to Ministerial Decree 509/99) should write to [email protected]

If you logged in with SPID, pay the stamp duty virtually via the PagoPa procedure available in the payments section.
If you are logged in with your credentials:
1) upload in the attachments section a copy of the printed and signed withdrawal application (the document is generated at the end of the process), along with the  front/back copy of your identity document;
2) pay the stamp duty virtually using the PagoPa procedure available in the payments section.

NB The date of payment of the stamp duty determines the closing date of your career.

Warning: in the event of withdrawal from studies presented at the end of the calendar year, payment of the revenue stamp must be made no later than 31 December 2022.

If you have withdrawn from your course of studies, you can enrol again in any course you wish to attend following the methods and rules established by the regulations in force for the chosen course.

If you are not a European Union citizen and you reside abroad (outside the EU), when you present the “Declaration of withdrawal from studies" you forfeit the requisites needed to remain on Italian territory.
If after withdrawing you ask to enrol once again in the same or another University, you cannot use the permit to stay which was released during the previous university career. You must instead carry out pre-enrolment again, contacting Italian Representations in the foreign state of residence.
