The University has a "Segreteria Studenti" (Secretariat or Student Affairs Office) for students where they may obtain academic information regarding our procedures as well as transfers and the recognition of credits from other universities.
This office also provides any necessary information on what to do when the student may need to interrupt his/her studies in case of illness, maternity leave or for any other private or family reasons. The "Matricolandosi" (Enroll) division of the Secretariat is responsible for enrolling Italian and international students. Furthermore, the University has an International Office (IO), divided into three units (Mobility, Cooperation and Promotion) which offers academic and logistical assistance to incoming and outgoing students. Inside the IO there is a "Welcome Office" where students may learn about the various services and facilities offered by the University and the city of Pisa. These services range from information on visas, residence permits, health insurance to cultural, recreational and sports events.
