2. (benefits) What financial benefits can I apply for?

Description
You might be eligible to apply for the following benefits: - university scholarships and grants; - student fees reduction based on the following: financial situation of the applicant’s family unit (determined based on the ISEE for University statement); type of degree programme; number of CFU gained; student status (normal duration, or enrolled beyond the normal duration of the degree programme); - benefits based on merit.



3. (benefits) What is an ISEE for University statement?

Description
The ISEE for University statement – a document that you must submit in order to apply for university benefits – is specifically mentioned in Art. 8 of Prime Ministerial Decree no. 159 of 5/12/13. For the purpose of determining the student’s ISEE for University statement, if the student does not live with their parents, the student is still considered a member of their parents’ family unit – in this case income and assets of all household members will be taken into account - unless both of the following conditions are true: a) the student has been living away from their parents’ home, in accommodation not owned by a family member,for at least two years before applying to enrol for the first time in their degree programme; and b) the student has had an employee or tax-declared income of at least €6,500 per year, declared under a family unit of one person, for at least the past two years.



4. (benefits) How can I obtain an ISEE for University statement?

Description
To request an ISEE for University statement, students must complete a Substitutive Declaration (DSU) – which contains information about their family unit and each family member’s income and assets – directly at the “online services” section of the INPS website (www.inps.it) or with the help of a Tax Assistance Centre (CAF) or qualified professional. Students will be provided with the ISEE for University statement by the CAF or by the INPS. Students who do NOT reside in Italy and students residing in Italy who are NOT independent and whose family unit resides abroad should request an ISEE Equivalent statement (“Indicatore Parificato Universitario”or “ISEE PARIFICATO”). To obtain the ISEE Equivalent statement, students need to make an appointment at one of the following Tax Assistance Centres (CAF): ACLI, CGIL, CISL, UIL.



5. (benefits) Do I really have to inform the University about the financial situation of my family at the time of enrolment?

7. (student fees) Why is there a negative amount in my online payment section in ESSE3?

Answer
If the online payment section of your student’s personal area on ESSE3 shows a negative amount, it means that you are entitled to a reimbursement. Please note: the “date of payment” is not the date when the payment will be made, but the date when the reimbursement procedure will start. If you have entered in the ESSE3 system your personal details (see next FAQ below), you will receive the payment in about two months’ time.



8. (student fees) How will the reimbursement be paid?

Description
In order to be reimbursed (in case of student fees reductions or incentives and exemptions for students), students must enter in the ESSE3 system the details of a bank account for which they are holders or co-holders (no bank accounts of third parties will be accepted). Please go to: https://univr.esse3.cineca.it/Start.do and log in using your username and password, then click on home – anagrafica and select dati rimborso (reimbursement details).

Should you have any doubts, please contact the Teaching and Student Services Unit of your area.



16. What if I don’t manage to graduate by March/April? Should I pay the late fee together with the first instalment of student fees for the new academic year?

Per il conteggio degli anni di iscrizione si contano il numero di anni di iscrizione (con esclusione degli anni di sospensione/ricognizione) e vengono conteggiate anche le iscrizioni da trasferimento in ingresso, mentre in caso di immatricolazione a seguito di riconoscimento carriera pregressa (rinuncia/decadenza/altro titolo/ecc.) gli anni di iscrizione della precedente carriera non vengono conteggiati.
Per il conteggio dei CFU vengono conteggiati tutti gli esami con data verbalizzazione (= data superamento) ricompresa nei “dodici mesi precedenti” il 10/08/2021. Contano anche i CFU di esami conseguiti in Erasmus, di esami svolti fuori dall’ateneo, se riconosciuti.

21. (checks) Will the University check that the applicants’ declarations are true?

Answer

Yes. The University normally performs checks and verifications on the truthfulness of students’ self-declarations when they apply for scholarships/grants. Through a memorandum of understanding, the University also sends students’ self-declarations of financial position to be further investigated by the Provincial Command of the Italian Finance Police (Guardia di Finanza) in Verona. These procedures are carried out in accordance with the Regulations for implementing checks on applications for university bursaries.




22. (sanctions) What if a declaration is found to contain untruthful information?

Answer

Following appropriate administrative and financial checks, if a declaration that was submitted is found to contain untruthful information, any benefits awarded will be revoked and sanctions will be applied. National laws on this matter are applicable, especially Art.s 75 and 76 of Presidential Decree no. 445/2000 and Legislative Decree no. 68/2012, which states: “Whoever [...] submits false statements [...] is subject to administrative penalties consisting of the payment of three times the amount made, or the value of services accessed incorrectly, and loses the right to receive other funds for duration of their course of studies, subject in all cases to the application of the penalties provided for in Art. 38(3) of Decree Law no. 78 of 31/05/2010, converted with amendments by Law n.122 of 30/07/2010, as well as the criminal laws for the acts that constituted the offence.”




23. (miscellaneous) What is a DUB and what is it for?

Answer

The ‘Benefits Application Form’ or DUB (‘Domanda Unica Benefici’ in Italian) is a declaration form which students complete and sign in order to apply for student benefits. Students must complete the DUB online by logging into their personal account in ESSE3 – SEGRETERIA (https://univr.esse3.cineca.it/Start.do). Only one DUB should be completed, also when applying for several benefits (scholarships, student fees reduction, part-time student collaborations). Once the DUB has been confirmed by the student, he/she cannot change it anymore: students are therefore advised to be careful when completing the form, and follow the instructions set out in the Call for applications.




24. (miscellaneous) When should I submit my ‘Benefits Application Form’ or DUB?

Answer

In order to apply for the benefits for students provided by the University of Verona, students must submit their ‘Benefits Application Form’ or DUB by the terms set out in the Calls for applications, which are normally published in July each year on the University’s website at: www.univr.it/benefici




25. (varie) È prevista la presentazione tardiva della domanda di riduzione della contribuzione studentesca?

Description
Sì, ma solo limitatamente agli immatricolati ai Corsi di Studio a ciclo unico a programmazione nazionale, entro 30 giorni dalla data di immatricolazione.



26. (varie) È previsto il rimborso della tassa regionale e dei contributi versati in caso di rinuncia agli studi?

Description
Non è previsto il rimborso della tassa regionale salvo in caso di doppio pagamento e non è previsto alcun rimborso degli importi versati (in prima, seconda e/o terza rata).



27. (varie) Cosa avviene in caso di rinuncia alla prosecuzione degli studi?

Description
La contribuzione è dovuta della/o studentessa/e per l’intero anno accademico per cui risulta iscritta/o.
Una/o studentessa/e può, in qualsiasi momento, rinunciare alla prosecuzione degli studi presentando apposita domanda, irrevocabile e incondizionata. Alla/o studentessa/e, che rinunci alla prosecuzione degli studi, sono precluse qualsiasi attività accademica e la fruizione dei servizi didattici e amministrativi, fatte salve le certificazioni. Con la rinuncia alla prosecuzione degli studi cessano, nei confronti dell’Università, gli obblighi contributivi con scadenza temporalmente successiva alla formalizzazione della rinuncia. A seguito di detta rinuncia, la/o studentessa/e non ha diritto alla restituzione delle tasse e dei contributi già corrisposti, mentre permangono gli obblighi di versamento delle rate maturate (scadute) prima della formalizzazione della rinuncia, nonché gli obblighi economici aventi natura sanzionatoria e quelli inerenti alla revoca di provvidenze economiche già erogate.
In nessun caso la mera omissione del pagamento della contribuzione equivale a rinuncia implicita agli studi.
