Photo illustrating the news item

In order to apply for admission to Ca’ Foscari in the 2025/26 academic year as an international student, there is a non-refundable application fee of 30 euros.

You will be unable to submit your application for evaluation until you have paid the fee or been exempted (scroll down for exemption cases).

FEE PAYMENT DEADLINES
In order to activate the submit button of your application, you must pay the application fee by MIDNIGHT (CET – Rome) the day before your admission round’s submission deadline. (In order to see your admission round’s submission deadline, navigate to this platform’s landing page and INSERT YOUR CITIZENSHIP IN THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND CORNER, and consult the relevant news item regarding your available admission rounds.)

PAYING YOUR APPLICATION FEE
After you have filled in all of the fields marked as mandatory in the “Profile” section of your application, you will be able to pay your fee by clicking on the link found in the application fee task of your application on apply.unive.it.

This link takes you to the Italian national online payment platform called PagoPA. If you have filled out all of the information required in the “Profile” section of your application – including the calculation and insertion of your virtual Italian fiscal code – then you will immediately be able to proceed with the payment. If you are asked to insert personal information at this point, it is because you did not complete all of the fields in your “Profile” section of your application on apply.unive.it – please return to your application form and compete the necessary fields before proceeding with the payment on the PagoPA website.

If all of the necessary personal info fields have been filled out in your application form, select the English version of the PagoPA website at the top right. You will see two red buttons at the bottom. You must click on the one called “Start Online Payment” (NB: the “Create Payment Slip” button only works for those who live in Italy).

You will now be allowed to choose from a number of payment methods, including credit/debit cards or PayPal. (NB: you may have to pay a small surcharge to the service provider to proceed with the payment, so the total cost may be slightly more than 30 euros.)

PLEASE NOTE: If your first attempt to make the payment proves unsuccessful, you can try selecting one of the other financial intermediaries that can facilitate the payment. It is possible that your credit card is not recognised by the default intermediary, Worldline.

Once your online payment has been made successfully, you will receive a confirmation email informing you. At this point, *the application fee payment task in your application form on apply.unive.it will automatically be resolved, thereby activating the “SUBMIT” button and allowing you to submit your application.

Please do not write us an email to communicate that you have made your payment. This information is communicated to us automatically.

If you experience a problem, we kindly ask that you first re-read this article to ensure that you have followed each step indicated.


EXEMPTION CASES
You are exempted from paying the 30-euro application fee if you are:

  • a student who is enrolled in another programme offered by Ca’ Foscari in the academic year preceding the one for which you are applying for admission (e.g. Foundation Year, Marco Polo Programme, professional master’s programmes, single courses, etc.);
  • an exchange student who has carried out or will carry out a mobility period at Ca’ Foscari through an existing exchange agreement with their home university before the academic year for which you are applying for admission;
  • a student with official refugee status in a Schengen Area country.

To have the exemption inserted in your application, you must upload documentation proving your status to your online application form (e.g. certificate of enrolment to one of the programmes, transcript of records, residence permit).
Once this documentation has been uploaded, you must then insert a specific reference code in your online application on apply.unive.it. You can do so after registering on the platform by clicking on your name in the upper right corner of the page that appears in your personal area and then selecting the option “Have a reference code?”, where you will insert the code APPFEE_exemption. Please note that it may take up to 7 working days for the fee to be removed from your application while we check the documentation you have provided. As a result, you must make sure to insert the reference code at least seven working days before the application deadline for the admission round in which you wish to submit your application so you will be able to complete the submission after your exemption status has been confirmed!
