Transfer to another university

In an open access course

Students enrolled at the University of Genoa who intend to transfer to another national university in an open access course must present transfer application
The application requires the payment of a transfer fee of € 200 and a € 16 fee payable via the online procedure.
The transfer application can be submitted from July onwards and within the deadlines for ordinary enrolment, in order not to incur late fees. The student must also meet the deadlines in force at the university of destination.

In a numbered course

Students wishing to transfer to another university for a course with a maximum number of places, must check the availability of places at the university of destination, which may issue a so-called nulla osta (permission to transfer); this document must be attached to the transfer application to be submitted as described above.

The student must also be able to transfer to another university if he/she wishes to do so.

Transition to another course at the University of Genoa

Students enrolled in a course at the University of Genoa who have not withdrawn their studies may use the career they have already pursued in the event of transfer to another course (the career already pursued may be used for the new course or, in the event of transfer without validation of the previous career, it may be retained and used in the future, in the event of other enrolments).

To make the switch, you need to:

  • pre-register for the new course  
  • Before enrolling in the new course (transfer) or in the new order of the same course (option), which must be carried out within the deadlines set or indicated in the announcements in the case of courses with a programmed number of students, under penalty of losing their place, the student must pay any fees that may be due for the academic year in which they were enrolled and the reconnaissance fee for the academic years in which they were not enrolled
  • within 15 days from the confirmation of enrolment, the student must request the recognition of the training activities already completed through the validation procedure

The evaluation of the previous university career is carried out by resolution of the course council, which identifies the part of the career that is confirmed, determining the number and type of educational credits still to be acquired and the possible admission to years subsequent to the first.

In any case, for courses with a programmed number of places, it is necessary to enrol in the first year of the course within the established deadlines, after having passed the relative admission test and to be usefully placed in the ranking.
