Short programmes in Milan

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.

The orientation event is an essential opportunity for you to find out all the information you need to get your Summer Programme to a great start. You will receive your student card and information about the University and how the Summer Programme is organised. There will also be time dedicated to socialising with your new classmates during the Campus Tour and lunch. 


The orientation event that you should attend depends on when your courses begin. The start date of your Summer Programme is indicated on your admission letter, and the orientation event is always the day after the start date on your admission letter.

The orientation events for the Summer are: 

  • Orientation event 1: 10 June, 2024,  9:15 am
  • Orientation event 2: 24 June, 2024,  9:15 am
  • Orientation event 3: 8 July, 2024,  9:15 am

You will be sent an email with the invitation to your allocated Orientation Event with a schedule and directions.

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.
