Congratulations! Below is a summary of the next steps that you have to take. You will also be e-mailed a guide on registering for attendance and the associated timeframe for doing so.
Admitted students can check the instructions, the methods for paying the €4,600 (€ 5,100 for the degree programmes in Corporate Finance and in Management) due for registering for attendance and the relevant deadlines on the University’s website on the page dedicated thereto.
Please note that for applications submitted by 26 February, the deadline for registering for attendance is 15 April 2025. For applications submitted between 27 February and 30 April 2025, the deadline for registering for attendance is 15 May 2025. Any request to register for attendance received after the non-extendable specified deadlines will not be considered. Indeed, under no circumstances will it be possible to remedy the situation after the expiry of the deadline, not even by paying a penalty.
In light of the specified deadlines, students are requested to contact the Admissions Office at ammissione@luiss.it in good time should they require support. In case of simultaneous participation in a number of selection processes (other universities, scholarships, etc.), the onus is on students themselves to check whether the various deadlines are compatible with the above. Any students that do not have their credentials for access to the Web Self-Service platform should promptly contact the Admissions Office at the above-mentioned address, by the deadline set for the session in which the application is submitted.
Admission and registering for attendance is to be considered as conditional until receipt of the original documentation regarding the prerequisite academic qualification, the statement of validity (dichiarazione di valore) to be requested from the Italian diplomatic or consular authorities for the country whose education system awarded the foreign academic qualification and, for students with non-EU citizenship, documentation regarding personal identity and their visa, where applicable. For information on the issuing of study visas, students may contact: welcomedesk@luiss.it.
After registering for attendance through paying the first instalment of the annual tuition fee by the deadline set for the session in which the application is submitted and once you have obtained your bachelor's degree, you must finalise your university enrolment and, in any case, by the non-extendable deadline of 13 November 2025. You will receive instructions for completing the procedure by e-mail from July 2025 onwards.
We recommend that you check in good time that you have correctly completed the university enrolment process. Should you not finalise university enrolment by 13 November 2025, regardless of having previously registered for attendance, your application will automatically be discarded and it will not be possible to proceed with enrolment for the 2025/2026 academic year.
