The 12 categories eligible for synchronous online teaching are listed below. Please note that students admitted to the PA110elode programme must apply under category 1, “working student”: -Working student: this refers to a student who is continuously engaged, on a non-occasional basis, for a period of at least six months during the calendar year, in any form of subordinate, self- employed or professional work, duly documented, and/or who has annual income from business activities, employment or equivalent sources of no less than €2,840.51 (the amount established under tax legislation for an individual not to be considered financially dependent on another person for IRPEF purposes). This also includes work carried out in family businesses. In the event of an audit, the status must be demonstrated by means of the relevant employment contract.
-Family caregiver student: this refers to a student who, as provided for by Article 1, paragraph 255, of Law No. 205/2017, assists and provides care to their spouse, civil partner in a same-sex civil union, or de facto partner pursuant to Law No. 76 of 20 May 2016, or to a family member or relative by marriage within the second degree, or, solely in the cases referred to in Article 33, paragraph 3, of Law No. 104 of 5 February 1992, to a family member within the third degree who, due to illness, infirmity or disability, including chronic or degenerative conditions, is not self-sufficient and unable to care for themselves, has been recognized as having a disability requiring comprehensive and continuous long-term assistance pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 3, of Law No. 104 of 5 February 1992, or receives an attendance allowance pursuant to Law No. 18 of 11 February 1980. The student must also declare that there are no other members of their household who receive benefits relating to the family member being cared for. In the event of an audit, the condition of disability, illness, infirmity or impairment must be demonstrated by certification issued by the competent institutions. -Student with health problems or a disability: this refers to a student affected by medical conditions that prevent the regular progression of their academic career. In the event of an audit, eligibility for this category must be demonstrated by appropriate medical certification issued no more than three years previously by facilities belonging to the National Health Service or by specialists and facilities accredited by the National Health Service.
-Pregnant student: this refers to a student who is at least eight months pregnant or whose pregnancy has been diagnosed as high-risk. In the event of an audit, this condition must be demonstrated by certification issued by a specialist physician.
-Student with children: this refers to a student with minor children. In the event of an audit, this status must be demonstrated by providing a family-status certificate.
-Retired student: in the event of an audit, this status must be demonstrated by providing certification issued by INPS or by an equivalent pension provider.
-Student engaged in high-level national or international sport: in the event of an audit, this condition must be demonstrated by certification issued by CONI or by the relevant Sports Federation.
-Student engaged in Universal Civil Service projects: in the event of an audit, this condition must be demonstrated by providing appropriate certification issued by the Department for Universal Civil Service or by another body with which the service is being carried out.
-Student residing in municipalities located in regions affected by natural disasters (such as floods, landslides, avalanches, seismic events, forest fires, etc.) for which a state of emergency has been declared, for as long as the state of emergency remains in force. In the event of an audit, this condition must be demonstrated by providing a certificate of residence.
-Student living away from home who is eligible for an AdiSU scholarship with a free accommodation entitlement, but who has not been assigned accommodation due to lack of availability and has not received the extraordinary and supplementary financial contribution provided by the Agency. The student is required to promptly notify the University Administration if free accommodation is subsequently assigned or if the extraordinary and supplementary contribution is subsequently granted, so that synchronous online teaching can be deactivated. In the event of an audit, this condition will be verified directly by the administration.
-Student currently residing abroad and unable to return due to the state of emergency connected with armed conflicts.
-Student whose study plan includes courses/modules delivered at a teaching location different from that of the relevant Degree Programme. Please note that synchronous online teaching may be requested only for those specific courses delivered at a teaching location different from that of the relevant Degree Programme.
Attention is drawn to the criminal penalties applicable in the event of false statements and to the forfeiture of any benefits obtained (Articles 75 and 76 of Presidential Decree (D.P.R.) No. 445 of 28 December 2000).
Each applicant is therefore responsible for the information they provide and expressly undertakes to ensure the truthfulness of the statements made. If checks reveal that the information contained in the declaration is untrue, in addition to the applicable criminal liability, it should be noted that the benefit granted will expressly be revoked. Of particular importance, the person making the false declaration will be unable to access “contributions, funding and benefits for a period of two years starting from the date on which the administration adopted the decision of forfeiture.” Therefore, the effects of the revocation are not limited to benefits already granted in the past, which will be recovered where they were obtained on the basis of a false self-certification, but also extend into the future: submitting a false declaration prevents access to similar benefits for the following two- year period.
Please note that, pursuant to Article 3 of D.R. No. 1839/2026, examinations and final degree examinations for the 2026/2027 academic year must be taken in person by all students.
