Registration of Foreign Students to
‘CORSI SINGOLI’ (single courses)
N.B.: The consular jurisdiction of the Embassy of Italy Washington, D.C. is as follows:
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARYLAND: Counties of Prince George's and Montgomery;
VIRGINIA: Counties of Arlington and Fairfax, and the city of Alexandria
All academic documents and/or degrees obtained outside of our consular jurisdiction must be certified
by the corresponding Italian consulate where the academic document/degree was obtained. To find out
which consulate you must contact please visit the following link:
http://www.ambwashingtondc.esteri.it/Ambasciata_Washington/Menu/Informazioni_e_servizi/La_rete_consolare/
All students seeking admission to an Italian university for enrollment in CORSI SINGOLI (one semester
or one year program) have to submit their paperwork to the corresponding consular office by the
deadline imposed by the Italian Ministry of Education.
All applications must be accompanied by the following documents:
1.
Three application forms (see form at end of document), addressed to the Magnifico Rettore of
the University, properly filled out in Italian and signed in front of a consular agent;
2.
Original certificate of attendance issued by the Registrar (or by the Assistant Registrar, Associate
Registrar, or Student Record Administrator) of an accredited college or university in the USA stating that
the applicant is enrolled with the institution as a "full-time bona fide student" pursuing either a Bachelor,
a Master, or a Ph.D. degree (specify how many years the applicant has completed - if in a Bachelor
Program, the student must qualify at least as a "Junior"), legalized by the Notary Public and accompanied
by the Apostille(*) of the Secretary of State where the academic institution is located;
3.
Italian translation of school certificate of attendance;
4.
2 passport-size photographs (one of which will be authenticated by the Consular Office);
5.
2 photocopies of the passport (one of which will be authenticated by the Consular office);
6.
The student will furnish the exact address, e-mail and contact name and information of the
Admissions office at the Italian university where the application will be submitted.
1
NB: Please DO NOT staple the translation to the documents and DO NOT detach the original
documents from the Apostille for any reason. Removing the staple from the Apostille will make the
document null and void.
Pre-applications are accepted conditionally; the actual enrollment takes place only when individual
candidates have passed the exam in the Italian language.
After the enrollment has been finalized, students must obtain an Acceptance Letter from the University
before they can ask for the student visa. VISAS must be obtained, prior to leaving the United States,
through the corresponding Consulate.
It is the Consulate's responsibility to forward the completed CORSI SINGOLI application to the
university, but it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the university to verify acceptance and inquire
about the Italian language test. Students concerned about receiving credits for their Italian studies should
contact their University department advisor prior to their departure.
IMPORTANT: Those students who intend to take Corsi Singoli while in Italy with IES, MUST apply
through the corresponding Consulate. Upon completion of the pre-enrollment procedure, they can
proceed with the visa application. It is not necessary to wait for the acceptance letter from the university,
as it is in all other cases.
Credits earned in "corsi singoli" may not be transferred towards an Italian H.Ed. qualification.

USEFUL INFORMATION FOR ENROLLMENT IN ITALIAN UNIVERSITIES
1) All foreign students must pre-enroll through the corresponding Italian Consular Office by the
deadline that has been established by the “Ministero dell’Istruzione, Università e Ricerca”)
2) If the foreign student is already in Italy with a regular Student Visa and a “Permesso di Soggiorno”
and wants to enroll in a subsequent university course, he/she must ask the “Questura” for an
extension of the “Permesso di Soggiorno”; if the extension is granted, the student must send a
copy of the renewal to the corresponding Consulate, together with all the requested documentation
for pre-enrollment.
3) If the extension of the “Permesso di Soggiorno” is denied and the student cannot obtain a renewal,
he/she must return to the United States to pre-enroll through the Corresponding Consulate and
request a new Student Visa by the scheduled times.
4) In the case of a renewed “Permesso di Soggiorno” only, the student can have the photo and the
signature on the application form authenticated by the local Italian Authorities (“Tribunale”). All
others must have them authenticated at the corresponding Consulate at the time of pre-enrollment.

CERTIFICATION OF ORIGINAL SCHOOL/ACADEMIC DOCUMENTS
(“APOSTILLE”)
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT detach the documents from the Apostille for any reason.
Removing the staple from the Apostille will make the document null and void.
The Italian Government and its agencies comply with the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961 (approved
by the United States of America on October 15, 1981) that requires documents originated in other countries
to be accompanied by the Apostille of the Secretary of State to satisfy the requirement of authenticity. The
Apostille actually certifies that the signatures of Officials appearing on the original document are true and
legitimate. In this manner all documents issued in the United States, if accompanied by the Apostille of the
Secretary of State, are recognized as authentic in Italy.
ORIGINAL school/academic documents (i.e.: Final Report Card, High School Graduation Diploma, High
School Transcript, Bachelor of Art Diploma, Bachelor of Science Diploma, Master Diploma, Ph.D.
Diploma, Academic Transcripts) should bear the signature by hand (no ink or raised stamps accepted) of
the Registrar or any other School/University authority in charge of students records and the signature
authentication by a Notary Public.
