Students employed by the Public Administration
Students employed by the Public Administration who express their wish to enrol by paying to the subsidised all-inclusive contribution, the amount to pay is € 1,000, in addition to payment of the regional tax, stamp duty and insurance fee. The amount is fixed and not dependent on other career elements (ECTS %, payment of the all-inclusive contribution by instalments, exemption according to Law 232/2016 as amended and supplemented, further exemptions and special aid, etc.).
Those enrolled in the Online Computer Engineering (IOL) Laurea programme (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) paying the subsidised all-inclusive contribution are also required to pay € 1,000 for using the platform and the special tutoring service. The choice to pay subsidised all-inclusive contribution is renewed automatically for the following academic years, unless the student concerned expressly requests revocation.
1 - The weight of university educational credits (ECTS)
The all-inclusive contribution must be paid for the 100% of the amount only in case of Study Plans with a number of University Educational Credits (ECTS) between 46 and 74. For part-time students (ECTS less than 46) reductions are available; for students with a number of ECTS more than 74, an additional payment is provided.
2 - Partial or total exemption according to ISEE - Equivalent economic status indicator value (law 232/2016 - stability law)
The budget law 2017 (L. 232/2016), as subsequently amended and supplemented, provides the possibility to require the total or partial exemption of payment, only for the all-inclusive contribution (the other contributions - stamp duty, regional tax, insurances - must be paid in any case). For 1st year students, the exemption depends exclusively on the ISEE value. For students of subsequent years to the first one, it depends on the ISEE value and other factors (such as the credits obtained and the number of years of enrollment).
Non-EU students of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes with first-level qualification obtained abroad, admitted without any economic benefit, must pay the full all-inclusive contribution.
3 - Payment by instalments of the all-inclusive contribution with ISEE value
If you are not included in any of the exemption cases mentioned in point 2, you can make request for payment by instalments of the all-inclusive contribution, based on your ISEE value. As to say, the amount is calculated in relation to your income bracket. To obtain the payment by instalments, you must provide the ISEE declaration on your personal page, according to the procedures and deadlines provided, otherwise you must fully pay the all-inclusive amount.
