ISEE

The Ordinary ISEE 2026 is a composite indicator of the economic situation of the student’s household and must be calculated by the interested student at a Tax Assistance Centre (CAF), on the INPS website, or through their accountant. The Ordinary ISEE required for the A.Y. 2026/27 is the ISEE 2026.

In the case of a foreign student not resident in Italy, or a foreign student resident in Italy who is not financially independent and whose family members reside abroad, or an Italian student resident abroad who is not registered with AIRE, it is possible to obtain a reduction in tuition fees and the regional tax through the Equivalent ISEE-U, which is used in cases where it is not possible to calculate the University ISEE. Further information on the documentation to be submitted, issued by the competent authorities of the country in which the income was produced and translated into Italian by the competent Italian diplomatic authorities, will be provided directly by the offices the student contacts for the calculation of the ISEE-U.

The 2026 ISEE declaration, which students will need in order to obtain a reduction in university tuition fees for the academic year 2026/27, must be submitted at the same time as enrolment.

International students (limited to EU students and Turkey) may submit the 2026 ISEE declaration to obtain a reduction in university fees for the a.y. 2026–2027 by the enrolment deadline.

For the calculation of the Ordinary ISEE, regardless of the method chosen by the student, the following documents must be submitted.

PERSONAL DATA
– Identity document and Italian tax code of the student (it is possible to request it from the Italian consulate; tax codes generated online are not valid).
– Residential address of the student’s household;
