Welcome to Università Cattolica International Student Services!

This page is dedicated to students who are arriving to Cattolica’s Milan campus for our Short Programmes (Summer or Winter).
Here you can find all the important resources that will be useful to you before your arrival, during your stay and overall for your life in Milan.
 

You are now enrolled as a Cattolica student and have been assigned a University email account (e.g. firstname.lastname01@icatt.it).  

*your email address is made up of the username you used for the application portal*

You will receive University communications on both your iCatt email and your personal email accounts so remember to check both!

Read instructions on how to access your email.

In case you need to reset your password for your email account, you must do so from your iCatt login page. You will need to use the automatically generated fiscal code that was sent to you in the first email that you received from the iam_noreply email account with your login credentials.

Cattolica suggests you to monitor the dedicated page on the Italian Ministry of Health website for updates regarding travel to Italy. 


Be sure to check your Government / Embassy guidance on travelling to Italy prior to your departure.

The Codice Fiscale, or Fiscal Code, is a tax code containing letters and numbers. It is a unique identification code issued by the Italian Tax Authority (Agenzia delle Entrate). It is a required code for many official documents, private contracts, online purchases and money transfers.


If you have a housing contract that lasts more than 30 days, it is very likely that the landlord in Milan will ask you for the Fiscal Code and in this case, you will have to apply for it.

Please read this page for guidance on how to apply for your fiscal code.
