Renewal of the Residence permit for non EU citizens
You must present the request for renewal at least 60 days before the expiration date of the permit.
Please note: Residence Permits for study reasons are renewed for students who in the first year of their degree programme pass a test (un esame) and in the following years pass at least two more tests (due esami). For serious health problems or natural disasters, duly documented, the residency permit can be renewed for students who have only passed one test, subject to the total number of renewals.
They cannot however be renewed for more than three years beyond the duration of the degree programme.
The Residence Permit may be further renewed in order to obtain a specialisation diploma or a PhD, for the entire duration of the degree programme, renewable for one year (art. 46, comma 4, D.P.R. 394/99).

You can find and print it by going on Alice web-site OR you can request it to the Students’ Office (Segreterie Studenti). The minimum to get the residence permit renewal is 1 exam in the first year and at least 2 in subsequent years. The residency permit cannot be renewed for more than three years beyond the duration of the degree programme unless the delay in the course of studies is due to serious and documented personal or family reasons. If you are a phd student enrolled to a Phd Course of ours, you have to enclose the enrollment certificate (without the exams list) by going on Alice web-site OR released to you by the Phd Office (Ufficio Dottorato), situated in Via Buonarroti 4;

Please note: some of these documents must be enclosed with the Application Form (yellow kit/kit giallo) at the Post office.
