Enrolment Procedure for Asylum-Seeking Students

Servizi

Following a resolution adopted by the Academic Senate on 28 July 2026, asylum seekers in Italy may enrol in degree programmes at the University of Verona.

Enrolment is granted on a conditional basis until international protection status is obtained. At the time of registration for the final degree examination, the student must hold one of the legal statuses expressly provided for under Article 39 of the Italian “Testo Unico per l’Immigrazione”. Otherwise, access to the final examination will not be permitted and the student's academic record will be closed.

To proceed with enrolment, prospective students must:

  • Contact the Welcome, Admissions and Student Recruitment Office (admissions@ateneo.univr.it) if they hold a foreign qualification, for the assessment of the eligibility for admission to higher education studies.
  • Send their personal details to mui@ateneo.univr.it (MUI - Manifesto Università Inclusiva), stating their intention to enrol as an asylum seeker and specifying the degree programme of interest. This will also allow them to receive information on the services and benefits provided by the University to asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection.
  • Once confirmation of the validity of their qualification has been obtained, register in Esse3 and complete the enrolment procedure. In the section relating to the residence permit, applicants must select the option “Asylum Application” and upload either:
    • their most recent valid residence permit certifying their status as an asylum seeker/applicant for international protection; or
    • the declaration of intention to apply for asylum, together with any documentation issued by the Police Headquarters concerning the asylum application submitted.
  • Pay the first instalment of tuition fees and contributions through PagoPA and wait for the email confirming successful enrolment. Confirmation of enrolment may take several days.
Important: Admission to a restricted-access degree programme is subject to successful completion of the relevant selection procedure. For more information on the different types of degree programmes, please consult the University’s programme catalogue.
