Plan your study program at Unicollege

Select your courses for Fall 2026 / Spring 2027. Standard load is 15 US credits per semester (each course = 3 US credits). Please rank at least 10 courses in order of preference — Unicollege will enrol you in the courses that fit your target credit load (15 or 12). The extra courses serve as backup in case any first-choice section is full or cancelled.

Step 1 of 3

How many credits will you take?

Choose your target credit load. Most students take 15 credits per semester. A 12-credit load is permitted only with formal approval from your home university.

Before choosing a 12-credit load, verify the following with your home institution:
  • Written authorisation — the signed approval from your Education Abroad Office must be uploaded to the application file before enrolment.
  • Visa requirements (NON-EU students) — the Italian D-Type student visa requires a minimum of 12 credits per semester. Below this threshold the visa cannot be issued.
  • Federal financial aid (US students) — most US Title IV programs require 12 credits to maintain full-time status. Confirm with your home Financial Aid Office before reducing the load.
  • ECTS recognition — 12 US credits = 24 ECTS. The standard European semester is 30 ECTS; some partner universities require 30 ECTS for full transfer recognition.
  • Tuition is calculated per credit — 12 credits × €300/credit = €3.600 (vs €4.500 for 15 credits). Application and processing fees are also lower in the 12-credit bracket. Housing and meal plan are charged on a full-semester basis regardless of credit load.

All amounts are estimates in euros. Final invoice issued by Unicollege upon acceptance. Tuition is calculated on your target credit load (15 or 12), not on the size of your backup pool — you only pay for the credits you actually enrol in. Field trip (€200) and internship (€300) supplements apply only to courses you are actually enrolled in, so the figures above are a maximum case based on your ranked selections. Housing assignment is confirmed by the Housing Team based on availability on a first-come, first-served basis — your preference is indicative and may be reassigned to ensure all students are housed. Bed sheet and towel deposits (€50 each) are refundable upon return in good condition and are not included in the total.
