ence permit on humanitarian protection.

Universities, the credits obtained, according to the University archives, will be stated in the on-line
application form, as recorded within 10/08/2017.

credits haven't been recorded by University yet (e.g.ERASMUS exams). They have just to follow the
directions suggested by the on-line application form.
The information about credits will be sent at the same time to the Universities for the necessary checks.
Before to apply, it is advisable to check your own electronic exam transcripts, in order to view all the exams
and didactic works passed and consequently recorded by 10/08/2017, as they are important for the education
achievement useful to apply for benefits.
Students can apply only online, on the website www.er-go.it, or at the CAF (Tax Assistance Centres)
recognised by ER.GO (see their complete list on the website www.er-go.it: “elenchi CAF”). CAF
personnel are authorized to fill the online application form in and to send it to ER.GO.
Students can send their mails to ER.GO, only using a PEC address: [email protected].
Important suggestions for completing the application:
a) Please, let fill out, as soon as possible, the new ISEE certificate for service connected to the right to
University Study, as it will take about 15 days to get the registration number from INPS, which is essential to
apply online;
b) before applying, please, check your own electronic exam transcripts, in order to view all the exams and
didactic works passed and consequently recorded by 10/08/2017, as they are important for the education
achievement useful to apply for benefits;
c) try to bring forward, as much as possible, the online application for benefits, as the high concentration of
connections might slow down access to the site;
d) to get easily in touch with ER.GO, it is necessarily required to:
• specify an email address;
• a mobile phone number with an Italian SIM CARD (essential for receiving the own PIN code, necessary to
finalize the application after the online confirmation; a text message information service is also activated for
further communications).
In the application form you can also specify a Certified Electronic Mail (PEC) address. Certified electronic
mail messages have the same value as registered post with return receipt.
e) Once the application has been completed, please confirm the data entered. Only then will the application
be correctly sent to ER.GO. Upon confirmation, you will receive an email notification of the application
being completed and, in case you have applied autonomously (as to say: not by a CAF) you will be able to
finalize by PEC or by PIN, as above mentioned.

They are resident at a distance, from the location of the course attended, that takes between 45 and 90
minutes on public transport (in a municipality included in Table 7 of the Announcement )
or
though considered “non-resident” because of the distance from the University attended, they live however in
a free accommodation in the university site, or nearby, provided it is within the municipalities included in
Table 6 of the Announcement, for at least 10 months of the academic year (from 1st October 2015 to 30th

Resident” student. The International Scholarship assignee students are not subject to the “self-certification of
domicile” regulations.

national and foreign Institutions, aimed to complete students’ learning and research activity with exchange
periods abroad (Erasmus, Socrates or similar), the total amount of the paid grants shall not exceed €
7,195.11.

period of less than six months abroad at the partner University, the scholarship amount is fixed according
article 1 and following of ER.GO Announcement.
12 . Economic requirements
The economic condition of the student is assessed considering ISEE (Index of the Economic Condition) and
ISPE (Index of Property Condition), two indexes measured according to the composition of the family, the
incomes and assets owned by the family. The new regulation in force about ISEE (D.P.C.M. 5 Dec. 2013, n.
159 and M.D. 7 Nov. 2014, M.D. 29 Dec.2015, no. 363, and M.D. 1 June 2016, no. 146) introduces a spe-
cific ISEE as regards services connected to with the right to university studies. Usually, in case of parents
living with the applying student, the ISEE, issued for services connected to the right to university studies,
corresponds with the ORDINARY ISEE, in this case, the ISEE certificate (Attestazione) must specify that it
is applied to the supporting services of the right to University studies on behalf of the student concerned. In
case of particular situations, please see the General Rules of the Announcement for the academic year
2017/2018 and the Guide to ISEE for the academic year 2017/2018.

In case of parents not living with the student applying for an ISEE for services connected to the right to uni -
versity studies, the applying student is member of the parent’s family unit, except in case both the following
requirements occur.
a) Official residence outside the family home for at least two years before the application for enrolment at
the first year of each degree, in a housing not belonging to a member of the native family,
b) Earned income or similar of at least € 6.500,00 per year in the last two years, declared by the student in
his/her income tax return.
c) If the student is married, it will be taken into account the student's new family unit, only if he/she meets
the residence requirement (according to letter a) and in case the income requirements (according to letter b)
are fully met, also considering the student's spouse income. In this case, to meet the income requirements,
the spouse’s income (referred to the two previous years) can be taken into consideration, even if the student
at that time was not yet married.
Rules for spouses are valid also for both parties of same-sex civil union, as provided for by the current regu -
lations (law 20th May 2016, no. 76).
d) Only in case of a student enrolled at PhD courses, the family unit is composed of the student applying for
benefits, his/her spouse, under-age children (younger than 18 years old) and adult children, according to the
rules provided for by article 3, paragraph 2 and 5, of D.P.C.M. 5 Dec. 2013, no. 159. In this specific case,
the ISEE is calculated on the basis of the so called “restricted family unit” and it is provided in a specific sec-
tion of the ISEE certificate. The applying to benefits student, enrolled at PhD courses, can however reserve
the chance to establish a family unit according to the ordinary rules provided for by article 3 of D.P.C.M. 5
Dec. 2013, no. 159. In this case, it is taken into account the “ISEE ORDINARIO” of the ISEE certificate.
In this case the student can be considered as independent student and we will consider only the economic
condition of his/her new family unit, and not of his/her native family.
Students not resident with their native family, who do not have both the requirements indicated above, can -
not be considered as independent students, but as members of their parents’ family unit and must fill in the
application form with reference to the ISEE including their native family. To define the student’s condition as
Resident Student, Non-Resident Student or Commuters, ER.GO will consider the residence of the native
family.
Students enrolled in subsequent years must obtain distinct academic achievement in order to:
> gain access to scholarships and receive the first instalment,
> confirm the allocation of the scholarship and receive the payment of the second instalment. If the
scholarship is not confirmed, it is cancelled and the first instalment received in money and services must be
paid back. Students enrolled in subsequent years, who do not achieve the relevant requirements by 10/08/
2018 maintain, nevertheless, their right to full exemption and to the reimbursement of the regional tax.
The credits obtained must be no less than:
BONUS
The bonus is a plafond of extra credits that can be used to reach the minimum achievement level required to
get the benefits of the year in which the student is going to enrol. It has to be required in the online
application form.
It can be used also to confirm the scholarship of the year in which the student is enrolled.
If the bonus is not used, it increases as follows:
- At the end of the first year: 5 credits
- At the end of the second year: 12 credits
- At the end of the third year: 15 credits
If the bonus is used, it is not possible to increase it further . Any remaining bonus credits can be used only
over subsequent years . If, for example, 2 credits are used to access the second year benefits of a three-year
degree course, the remaining bonus will be 3 credits. Any bonus not used during the first level degree course
can be used during the second level degree course. The bonus used in previous academic years can not be
counted in subsequent years. (For example, if 2 bonus credits are used to reach the 25 credits required to
access the second year benefits of a three-year degree course, at least 57 new credits must be obtained by
August 10th of the following year, in order to reach the minimum of 80 credits for the confirmation
achievement.
QUALIFICATIONS
There are special criteria to evaluate academic achievement in case of:
- Qualifications for educational activities after abandonment or forfeiture of studies, or by attending single or
master courses.
- Qualifications for educational activities for foreign students who have attended study periods abroad;
- Qualifications for educational activities for students who move from former degree courses of the Faculty
of Law to the single-cycle degree in Law; move or transfer from degree courses to single-cycle degrees; for
graduates who request to shorten their courses in the single-cycle degree, or in the Primary Education
Sciences.
