If you are eligible for admission, the International Admissions team will inform you by publishing an offer in your Online Application Portal and sending a notification to the email address you indicated on the online application (check your spam box as well!).
  
The offer will outline:

• The instructions on how to accept Cattolica offer and the deadline to pay the first instalment of the tuition fees in order to reserve a place on the indicated degree programme.
• If you have been awarded with a scholarship. 

 
How to respond:
Log back into your Online Application Portal  click on “View your decision”  and select “Reply”.

Accepting the offer does not involve any payment yet and if you respond “Accept”, you simply enable the system to send you the instructions to secure your place!

If you do not respond, or decline the offer, your place in the programme will be reassigned. Your admission cannot be deferred to the next academic year.

After you accept the offer, your data will be transferred into our dedicated payment system “Portale iscrizione ai corsi | Programme application”. 
  
Follow these steps to confirm your place in the programme of admission:
  
STEP 1 - Activate your account
Within the payment deadline you will receive an email from IAM_noreply@unicatt.it called “Activation account” containing your new username and a link to set a password; if you already have an account to access the Portale, you will not receive this email: share your existing username with our office to proceed. 
Use the link provided in the message to set the password and log in the “Portale iscrizione ai corsi / Programme application” with your new credentials.
  
 
STEP 2 - Choose the payment method
Pay by credit card, or payment slip (MAV) or Bank wire transfer. If you pay by MAV or bank transfer you will have to log in the Portale iscrizione ai corsi again after you make the payment and enter the payment details, and send us the receipt.  
If the payment is not indicated as “confirmed” (for credit card payments) or “order self-confirmed” (for payments made by bank wire transfer or bollettino MAV) by the deadline, your offer for admission can no longer be guaranteed.   
Please carefully read our refund policy.

 

STEP 3 - Read the refund policy
Before you proceed with the payment, read our refund policy.
 

For enrolment purposes, you are required to submit a copy of your Bachelor degree and the final transcripts. In addition, the International Admissions team will send you an email indicating if one of the following documents are needed, according to your academic studies:

• The Diploma Supplement of your Bachelor studies. It is a document accompanying your diploma and providing a standardised description of the nature, level, content and status of the studies you completed. Graduates in all countries taking part in the Bologna Process have the right to receive the Diploma Supplement automatically and in any major European language from their university. If the Diploma Supplement is issued in English, no Italian translation is required. For the enrolment: ask your university to send a copy of the final diploma, diploma supplement (and transcripts if not included in the diploma supplement) to international.qualifications@unicatt.it. As an alternative, you can have them legalized/apostilled*. 
   
• The Statement of Comparability AND the Statement of Verification (where applicable) of your university qualification, issued by CIMEA, the Italian government-appointed organization for qualifications recognition. Read more on the documents and learn how to request them.
  
  Applying for these statements is suggested if your university does not issue the Diploma supplement and you are residing in a country other than the one competent for the issuing of the diploma (i.e. according to the education system).
• Dichiarazione di Valore (DV) of Bachelor Diploma. It is an official document which provides a short description of your qualification, its validity in the awarding country to academic and/or professional ends, and the legal status of the awarding institution. Request the DV at the Italian Consulate/Embassy of the country that awarded the qualification. For example, if you studied in an American University in Dubai, you should refer to relevant Italian Embassy in the United States. Please note: Italian Embassies usually require that diplomas and transcripts are legalized* by the relevant local Ministries and translated into Italian before they are submitted for the issuing of the DV. Find a list of the Italian Consular offices.
  
  *Legalisation is the official confirmation that a signature, seal or stamp on a public document is genuine. It is usually required by Italian authorities before they will allow a document issued in a third country to be used for official purposes in Italy. If your country signed the Hague Convention, the competent authorities will stamp the Apostille on your qualification. In other countries, specific Ministries are appointed to legalise documents through a stamp. 

In case of impossibility to verify the authenticity of your Diploma/transcript, our office reserves the right to additionally request the Statement of Verification, issued by CIMEA, or the legalization of the Diploma/transcript/Diploma Supplement, or that your transcript is sent directly from your institution to our office. 
 

Graduates from Pontificial Universities 
If you graduated from a Pontifical University, you can either request that your university sends a confirmation of your studies directly to our email address, or have your Diploma legalized by the relevant ecclesiastical authorities.
