Upon request, payment of the 2nd and 3rd instalment (if its amount is of € 600 or higher) can be split each into two further instalments of a same amount, which must be paid by:

15th November 2019and 17th December 2019 (2nd Instalment)

The request must be submitted online on www.unipr.it from 9th October 2019 and by 14th November 2019.

If you do not see the MAV charged on your personal page, contact the Student Registry Office of your degree course by the set deadlines and in due time to process your payment within the same deadlines.
Delayed payments of tuition fees after the established deadlines will be charged a further € 50 fee. Furthermore, you will not be able to take any exams until you are up to date with your payments. We highly recommend you not to pay the tuition fee instalments on the last days near the deadline indicated: in fact, the date taken into account for the payment is when the money are received by the University, not when you pay the sum. If you pay the money on the last days, the University could receive the money later than the set deadline due to the different times of bank operations (including home banking and online payments), openings to the public, holidays, etc.: consequently, you might be charged an extra fee of € 50 for delayed payment.
ER:GO will verify the truthfulness of the statements according to current legislation. Should you provide a false statement, you will:

be charged an amount which is triple the correct one;
lose all rights to other benefits and/or reductions on tuition fees during your whole career;
risk incurring other penalties.

Even students who submit their application through a CAF recognized by ER.GO are required to send their original notarized documentation stating their family’s economic and financial condition by the same deadline, or the application shall be considered invalid.

All documents must be sent to ER.GO. with acknowledgement of receipt.

Exemption from and reductions on tuition fees

TOTAL EXEMPTION FROM TUITION FEES

Students are entitled to total exemption from tuition fees (2nd and 3rd instalments) if they are:

· Students eligible for or benefiting from a scholarship from ER.GO. for a.y. 2019-2020: if they are enrolling to the second or a higher year of course (provided they are not out of course), they are exempted from payment of tuition fees; they will only pay the Regional tax of 140 € and the virtual stamp duty of 16€. To obtain this reduction, it is necessary to complete the online ER.GO. application form by 31st October 2019.

Contributi, Diritto allo studio e Benessere Studentesco.

REDUCTIONS ON TUITION FEES

The parameter of seniority to obtain the benefits is different from the one used to calculate the Personalised University Tuition Fee: as regards the benefits, seniority is calculated from the 1st year of enrolment in any Italian University. Transferring to a different course or University does not reset seniority.

For students who have interrupted their studies, whose career has expired or for those who are enrolling once again, the year of first enrolment is dated back proportionally according to the number of course year they are admitted to.

The following reductions apply automatically, thus you do not need to fill in any request form:

- For First-year students:

Students enrolling on the first year of a First Cycle Degree Course or a Single Cycle Degree Course will get a reduction of € 250 if they obtained a high school final grade equivalent to Italian top grade of 100 or 100 with merit;
Students enrolling on the first year of a Second Cycle Degree Course will get:
a) a reduction of € 250 if they obtained a First Cycle Degree with the highest final grades equivalent to Italian 110 or 110 with honours;
b) a reduction of € 150 if they obtained a First Cycle Degree with final grades equivalent to Italian 109 or 108.

- For students enrolled from the 2nd year and beyond:

Students enrolled from the 2nd year and beyond within the regular duration of the course will get reductions on tuition fees on the basis of ranking lists. Reductions for merit go from a minimum of €150 to a maximum of € 300.

Reductions can add up to the total amount of the personalised University Tuition Fee already paid and/or to be paid (except from the regional tax and the virtual stamp duty, which must always be paid).

Further information on the requirements for benefits eligibility is published on the “Manifesto degli studi” a.y. 2017-2018.

Asking for a refund

You can ask for refund for fees not due or paid twice if :

you graduate in the last session available (extra session) of a.y. 2018/2019 and you have already paid the 1^st instalment of tuition fees for a.y. 2019-2020 but you have not submitted any application for enrolment on a.y. 2019-2020;
if you have already paid a non-due fine;
if you have submitted a non-due payment after your career expired;
if you have transferred to another University in the same academic year.

The Regional Tax and the Virtual Stamp Duty cannot be refunded.

The form to request a refund must be filled in exclusively online at this link: https://www.idem.unipr.it/secure/rimborsi

YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL IN THE FORM FOR REFUNDS IF YOU ARE ENTITLED TO AUTOMATIC REFUND

PLEASE NOTE:

The refund is paid by the University accounts office within 60 days from the date of issuing of the decree authorizing the refund.

The refund of tuition fees can be paid as follows:

by direct credit on your student card
by direct credit into your bank account (the student must either own the account or have it in common with another person).

If the student does not inform the University accounts office how he/she prefers to be refunded, the University cannot proceed with the refund until it receives the necessary information from the student.
