ISEE and other documentation for tuition fee exemptions

Check and prepare the documents to be submitted in good time in order to apply for total or partial exemption; it may take several weeks to obtain them.

To be eligible for full or partial exemption from tuition fees, you have to submit an ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) certificate in relation to the right to higher education: the tool for assessing your family's economic situation. 

You can only submit an ISEE certificate without indicating your family's income/assets if:

• you have been living away from your family for at least two years (in accommodation not owned by a family member);
• you have had an income of €9,000.00 or more per year for at least two years (2023 and 2022).

1. Request an ISEE certificate free of charge from INPS (Italian National Pensions Institute), a CAF (Tax Assistance Centre), or your municipal offices; it may take several weeks to obtain it. To speed up the process you can also access the so-called "pre-filled ISEE" on the INPS online services.  
2. Make sure that the certificate contains no errors and/or omissions. If the Revenue Agency finds omissions, your certificate will be 'annotated'. In this case, we recommend that you to redo it before the end of the year and, if the omissions still persist, you will have to submit additional documents in the manner and within the deadlines that will be communicated to you at your university email address (name.surname@studio.unibo.it).
3.
