Our students are divided into several categories: Ordinary, Extraordinary, Fuori Corso, Guest, and Auditor.

Ordinaries are those who are eligible to earn an academic degree. – they meet all requirements for entering their degree program of choice.

• A subcategory of the “ordinaries” category is pars ordinaries. The ordinary “pars” category will include all students who are regularly enrolled at Our University, but must submit certain documents necessary for enrollment (original certificate of studies – blank form with signature of the Superior – letter of introduction ….).

The category “extraordinary”  includes 2 subcategories – simpliciter and ad tempus.

• Simpliciter: these are students who enroll at our university but do not earn a degree and cannot obtain one in the future – they cannot take a year of courses and decide at the end of the semester or academic year that they want to change their enrollment. Students who fall into the extraordinary simpliciter category are those who want to take several courses by taking the exam but not obtaining the degree.

• Ad Tempus: has the limit of one year.  To this category belong all those students who are not yet ready to be enrolled as Ordinary within a degree because they lack some requirements

Guest students are those who may not register for more than 4 semester-long courses in the academic year.

Auditors: are students who, with the consent of the Dean or the President, register for one or more courses for their personal benefit, paying a special fee for each course, but with no right to examinations or diplomas. They may request a certificate of attendance, issued by the Dean or President.,

Fuori corso (Extra cursum) students are those who, after having followed the regular program of studies, are yet to complete their academic requirements (examinations, theses, written work). They can only take 2 free courses that serve to complete their curriculum.

Such students are required to pay the prescribed fees by the Administration. They may retain the status of Fuori Corso for a maximum period of five years, after which they must begin their cycle of studies all over again.

(This norm comes into force from the academic year 2017-2018).

In order to be admitted as an ordinary student, it is necessary:

• to have completed whatever studies are required for admission to the university in the student’s country of origin;
• to have completed the studies required by the Faculty or Institute in which the student plans to study.

Registering at the Angelicum is quick and easy.

If you want to enquire about a specific Faculty or Institute and their programs of study you can either submit a request via this form or contact the relevant Faculty/Institute Secretary, who can then guide you through the registration process.

At the time of registration the student shall make a down payment of € 250.00 towards the academic fees for the appropriate semester. The payment may be made in one of the following ways in the Office of Administration:

• bank draft;
• bancomat / credit card;
• cheque;
• cash.

Should the registration be cancelled, this initial payment shall not be refunded.

One may not register for a successive year, if one has not paid the dues for the preceding year.

Every student should prepare a plan of study, in accordance with the program provided by the appropriate Faculty or Institute, or as agreed to by the Dean or the Director. The plan of study should include the student’s obligatory, optional, and seminar courses. In choosing his courses, the student must bear in mind:
