Enrolment procedures and deadlines

Since the 2015-2016 academic year, the figure of the part-time student has been introduced at the University of Parma. In fact, the regulation identifying and regulating the status of part-time students in the teaching activities of the university's three-year degree and master's degree courses has been approved.
Part-time or part-time means the possibility, granted to each student, to agree, at the time of enrolment or during the subsequent academic years of enrolment, on a course of study with a number of university credits equal to 50% of the number of ECTS credits provided annually.

• students with a disability equal to or greater than 45% or a disability certified pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 1 of Law 104/92:

• students not occasionally engaged in the care and assistance of non-self-sufficient relatives pursuant to Law 104/92;
• pregnant students;
• students with children up to the age of three;

The academic authorities reserve the right to carefully consider very exceptional or special requests not included in the above categories.
