Enrollment

Applications are open year-round

Candidates may apply at any time, subject to course availability and session dates.

Recommended Timeline

Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply at least 5 months in advance, with a minimum of 90 days required to complete registration procedures and, where applicable, visa processing.

Visa Information for International Applicants

As program stays are shorter than 90 days, international participants may be eligible for visa-free Summer Sessions. Applicants are responsible for verifying whether their nationality allows visa-free entry and stay in Italy for the duration of the program.

How to Apply

To begin the application process, candidates must request an Application Form by contacting the Study Abroad Office at francesca.serra@unicollege.eu.

Application Form Details

The Study Abroad Office will provide the official Application Form, which includes:

• academic information, including the level of proficiency in Italian where applicable;
• course selection;
• housing options;
• logistical details;
• deadlines;
• payment information.

The completed form must be filled out by the candidate and approved by the home university, where required.

Submission and Review

Once completed and approved, the Application Form is submitted to Unicollege, which will review and process the application.

Confirmation of Mobility

Applications are typically processed and confirmed within 7 working days. Upon confirmation, participants officially secure their place in the program.

Payment of First Installment

After confirmation, participants are required to submit the first non-refundable installment. All details regarding installments, deadlines, and payment methods are clearly outlined in the Application Form. The published rates are on the costs page.

Check-in

Housing check-in usually takes place three days prior to the start of the session, for example on the Friday before a program beginning on Monday.

Course Structure

Summer Session courses are intensive and typically meet both in the morning and afternoon until the required contact hours are completed. A standard course carries 45 academic hours for 3 US/Canadian credits.

Program Completion and Transcripts

Upon completion of all courses, participants may depart. Official transcripts, equivalent to U.S. academic standards and suitable for direct recognition, will be issued after the end of the program.
