Tuition fees and ISEE

Payment of regional tax (ERSU) for the academic year 2023/2024

Notice for Students

Starting from this academic year, there have been significant changes regarding the payment methods for the regional tax for the right to study (the so-called ERSU tax) and the procedures to request exemption.

Firstly, as you may have noticed, the regional tax was not included in the second installment due on February 28th this year. Instead, it will be invoiced together with the third installment of enrollment fees starting from April 10th, with a due date for both on May 5th, 2024.

We strongly advise you to pay close attention to this deadline because starting from this academic year, the Sardinian Revenue Agency will take over the collection and verifications related to the actual payment of the regional tax. Further information can be found on the page [link]. https://www.agenziasardaentrate.it/servizi-tributi/tassa-regionale-diritto-allo-studio/

We remind you that the following students are exempt from paying the regional tax for the right to university education:

- Students who have been declared scholarship winners or who have obtained eligibility in the rankings for the awarding of scholarships (this exemption is automatic and no communication is required from the student).

Students whose gross total income of the family unit to which they belong is less than 25,000 euros and who do not benefit from other benefits related to their respective university courses; in this case, for the current Academic Year 2023/2024, it will be necessary to submit a specific declaration regarding the portal of the  Sportello Unico dei Servizi della Regione Sardegna. The next academic years, the declaration will be submitted at the time of enrollment, directly in the Self Studenti of UniSS.

Students with a disability of not less than 66% or with recognition of disability under art. 3 paragraph 1 of Law 104/92.

The importance of ISEE

For the calculation of the enrollment fee, the economic and patrimonial condition of the student's family unit, as identified based on the ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator), will be taken into account from the first installment.

Therefore, it is necessary for the student to request an attestation of the equivalent economic situation (ISEE) of their family unit from an authorized entity (such as a CAF, INPS, Chartered Accountant, or others). Upon completing the online application for enrollment, the student should authorize the University to automatically acquire the data related to the Unique Substitute Declaration (DSU) from the ISEE information system managed by the INPS.

The processing time for the issuance of the ISEE attestation is approximately 10/15 days (from the CAF to the INPS, and then from the INPS to the University). It is strongly recommended to proceed with enrollment/registration after 10/15 days from the request for the ISEE attestation. This way, during the enrollment/registration process, the University can retrieve the ISEE value in real-time from the INPS database and calculate the fee based on your income from the first installment.

If the Unique Substitute Declaration (DSU) is not completed or if authorization for the retrieval of such data is not granted, the student will automatically be placed in the highest income bracket, and the maximum amount of the enrollment fee will be applied.

It is essential to contact the authorized entities for the issuance of the ISEE attestation immediately to avoid long waiting times for the issuance of the certificates, which, we remind you, are required at the time of renewal of enrollment or for the first enrollment application to calculate the first installment.

General principles on fees

The enrollment in each course at the University is subject to the payment of university fees as specified below. University fees are income-related and are quantified based on the ISEE value of the student's family unit.

The payment of the first installment completes the enrollment and is necessary to carry out any career-related action.

Students who are not in compliance with the payment of fees for all years of enrollment will not be able to continue their career and, consequently, will not be able to:

  • Take exams
  • Take the final exam for graduation
  • Transfer to another University
  •  Change to another degree course
  • Obtain certifications
  • Apply for student collaboration activities
  • Apply for participation in international mobility projects
  • Apply for scholarships or awards
  • Submit other requests related to the student's position
  • Exercise representation in collegiate bodies.

Exams taken without regularizing the administrative position cannot be included in the academic record.

The student who intends to obtain a refund of unduly paid fees and contributions must submit a regular request according to the following terms:

  • For fees related to 2022/23 by 06/30/2024
  • For fees related to 2023/24 by 06/30/2025
  • It will not be possible to request a refund for fees from previous years.

Types of fees and contributions

Enrollment in each course of study (bachelor's degree, master's degree, and single-cycle master's degree) is subject to the payment of the single enrollment fee, the virtual stamp duty, and the regional tax.
* For courses with a limited number of places, the terms indicated in the respective notices apply.

The single enrollment fee is divided into three installments:

1. FIRST INSTALLMENT: of a variable amount up to €310.00 to be paid by October 20, 2023, together with €16.00 for the virtual stamp duty;

2. SECOND INSTALLMENT: to be paid by February 29, 2024, together with the ERSU regional tax (if due), according to the following modalities:

with a single payment if the remaining amount of the annual fee is less than €50.00;with a payment equal to 50% of the remaining amount of the annual fee if it exceeds €50.00;

3. THIRD INSTALLMENT (possible balance): to be paid by April 15, 2024.

The fees vary depending on the student's status (regular student, out-of-course student, repeat student), the chosen academic commitment (full-time, part-time), and the number of years enrolled at the university (Law no. 232 of December 11, 2016).

Late payment of university fees automatically incurs a late payment fee. For the amount of the late payment fee, please refer to Article 7.7.2 and the summary table of deadlines and fees in the Student Career Regulations.

Students who are not up to date with the payment of university fees cannot register for exams or carry out any administrative procedures.
