If you are a student enrolled on a bachelor’s degree programme, a master’s degree programme, a single-cycle master’s degree programme or the ‘bridge programme’, in order to benefit from university financial support corresponding to your household’s financial circumstances, you must declare your ISEE-U (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator for university benefits) details for each academic year, in accordance with the procedures and deadlines set by the University (Please read paragraphs 3 and 4 carefully).

N.B. FINAL-YEAR STUDENTS: if you are a final-year student, go to the section ISEE for the University (ISEE-U) on the page fees for final-year students

To obtain your ISEE-U for the 2026/27 academic year, you must first complete the full DSU for university purposes by 31 October 2026. This document contains the personal, income and asset details required to describe your household’s financial situation.

You can seek assistance from a CAF or a qualified accountant when completing the DSU. It is also possible to submit the declaration to INPS online (for further information www.inps.it).

The reference year for income and assets is the second year prior to the date of submission of the DSU: the person assisting you will advise you on which documents to submit when completing the declaration.

Approximately 10 working days after signing the DSU, you will be able to obtain your ISEE-U certificate, having agreed on the collection arrangements with the aforementioned bodies.

If you have enrolled for the 2026/27 academic year, once you have obtained your ISEE-U certificate, you must complete the online ISEE-U self-certification, by the specified deadline (see deadlines in point 4 below).
Once you have completed the online self-certification procedure, click on “SAVE” and print the receipt.

Corrections
If the DSU certified by INPS contains errors, inaccuracies or omissions, you must correct it by 15 June 2027.
If you have already self-certified the details of the “incorrect” DSU online, you must submit a new self-certification by the non-extendable deadline of 15 June 2027.
Cases involving repeated corrections to self-certified ISEE-U data will be subject to specific checks, in collaboration with the Guardia di Finanza.

Current ISEE
It is possible to update the income and assets declared in the DSU by submitting the CURRENT ISEE, based on a more recent financial situation.

Standard terms and conditions for signing up to the DSU

• from 1 January 2026 to 31 October 2026

Deferred payment terms with late payment charges for signing the DSU

• from 1 November 2026 to 30 November 2026 with a surcharge of €100.00

• from 1 December 2026 to 15 June 2027 with a surcharge of €200.00

Deadline for online self-certification of ISEE-U data

Remember to self-certify your ISEE-U data by 31 October 2026, in time for the recalculation of your contribution based on your income situation, starting from the second instalment and the regional tax adjustment

You can self-certify the details of your ISEE-U certificate, which is calculated on the basis of the DSU signed within the deadlines mentioned above, on the page ISEE-U Self-Certification by the deadline of 15 June 2027.
Failure to provide income data to the University by the aforementioned deadline will result in the payment of the maximum amount of the university fee and the regional tax, if due.

The University, on the basis of the self-declared data, will query the INPS information system and verify the declared ISEE-U value. If your household has submitted more than one DSU for university services, the most recent valid ISEE-U value certified by the INPS will be used.

Please note!

• When the first instalment is paid, the online system will provisionally suggest the minimum amount due for the regional fee of €120.00. The actual amount due will be definitively updated based on the ISEE-U value, if available for the current academic year. Any outstanding balance must be settled by the deadline for the second instalment.

• If, at the time of payment, the instalments have not been recalculated on the basis of the declared ISEE-U (e.g. due to submission of an ISEE rather than an ISEE-U, an incorrect ISEE-U, or an ISEE-U declared close to the instalment deadline, etc.) you may choose to pay the maximum amount by the specified due date, with any adjustment to be made in the next instalment, or, alternatively, wait for the amounts to be recalculated. In any case, late payment of the instalment due will result in the application of late payment penalties as established by UNIGE’s governing bodies, as well as the provisions set out in Article 19(2) of the Regulations on Student Fees and University Benefits.

• If you submit your DSU close to 15 June 2027 but do not yet have your ISEE-U certificate and are therefore unable to self-certify your details online, you must, still within the same deadline, send the following to the email address iseeu@segreterie.unige.it: a copy of the signed DSU; a copy of a valid identity document; a declaration authorising the University to access the INPS information system and to obtain your ISEE-U value.

You can check whether your ISEE-U certificate has been received by the University by visiting the following web pages:

• servizionline.unige.it/studenti/iseeu 
  Once you have completed the process of entering your ISEE-U data and saved it, the following message will appear: "Self-certification received, pending verification by INPS".
  After around 10 days, on the same page, you will be able to see that the University has received your ISEE-U value, as indicated by the message "Certificate received".
  If the message “Self-certification received, awaiting verification with INPS” remains, this means that, following verification with INPS, issues have arisen regarding the self-certification. In this case, the relevant offices will contact you at the email address registered on UniGe, outlining the procedure to follow.
   
• servizionline.unige.it/studenti/tasse
  If the procedure was successful, you will see the following message: "ISEE-U value (INPS data) for the 2026/2027 academic year – ISEE-U indicator € ..."

Exceptions to the above deadlines apply to the following categories of students:

• who have obtained a degree from another university and are enrolling in the first year of a new degree programme in Genoa
• who are transferring to Genoa from another university
• who have been successful, including through the waiting list, in the rankings for admission to courses with limited places
• who are resuming their studies, following a break of at least one year, by enrolling under the ‘recognition’ scheme
• who have obtained a degree from this University and are enrolling in the first year of a new degree programme after a break of at least one year
• whose grant from the Regional Agency has been revoked or who have waived the benefit.

If you fall into one of the above categories and do not hold a DSU for university fees signed by the deadline, you must sign the “full DSU” within 30 days of enrolment and, also within 30 days of enrolment, you must submit your ISEE-U certificate, together with a valid identity document, by email to the address iseeu@segreterie.unige.it

Failure to meet the above deadlines will result in late payment charges being applied to the amounts due in respect of student fees.
