How to make a request
To abandon your studies, go to your Online Services > Career data > Suspension or Withdrawal Requests, follow the procedure indicated in the appropriate application, completing the procedure with the payment of stamp duty/any back taxes. Attention: without payment of stamp duty, it is non possible to apply for withdrawal.
Payment of the stamp duty and any back taxes, necessary to complete the application for withdrawal from studies, can be made at the end of the presentation of the application, choosing between immediate payment by prepaid credit card and subsequent payment by home banking.
Attention: the application for withdrawal from studies will be handled by the Registrar’s Office which will carry out the necessary checks for acceptance and definitive registration, in the meantime, please note that it is possible to SELF-CERTIFY (law DPR 245/2000) that you have submitted the application for renunciation online in case it is needed for access to other italian public universities.
For new students of the A.Y. 2024/2025 in the first semester of a degree programme, a master's degree programme or single programmes that apply by 18/11/2024 will receive reimbursement more or less by the end of March 2025.
For new freshmen of the A.Y. 2024/2025 in the second semester of a master's degree programme or single programmes that apply by 14/04/2025 will receive reimbursement approximately by the end of September 2025.
If you have withdrawn and subsequently decide to restart your studies, you will have to follow the procedure provided for students enrolling for the first time. The procedures to be followed in order to re-enrol following withdrawal from studies are illustrated in the section dedicated to Future students. Any recognition of the credits acquired is the responsibility of the relevant Study Programme Board, after verifying their validity.
If you are a foreign student already enrolled with an Italian university, you have abandoned your studies and want to request a new enrolment at the same or another university, you cannot use the specific residence permit for study issued when you previously enrolled.
Formalizing the withdrawal from studies determines the lack of the requisites required for the stay in the country and, consequently, the revocation of the authorisation (see article 5, paragraph 3, 4 and 5 of Legislative Decree 25 July 1998, no. 286 "Consolidated text of the provisions concerning the discipline of immigration and rules on the state of the foreigner" and subsequent amendments)." You will therefore need to get a new student visa.
