Release of admissions test results
Download here the summary of terms and deadlines for the test results and the closing date to enroll upon successful completion of the admission test.
For non-admitted candidates you can find further information in the Regulations for Admissions to Bachelor’s Degree Courses Academic Year 2024/2025.
The results will normally be communicated by e-mail to the address provided by the candidate during the registration process. Remember to keep the SPAM folder monitored at all times.
Confirmation of Enrolment and Registration
Registration can be carried out through the Online services and will be confirmed only upon receipt by IULM University of the payment of the first instalment.
In the event of potential over-subscription of available places, the deadlines for registration could be shortened so as to allow for the appropriate scrolling of the ranking list.
Further information in the Regulations for Admissions to Bachelor’s Degree Courses Academic Year 2024/2025.
For each session, the admitted candidate who fails to confirm registration by the respective deadline will lose any priority deriving from their position in the ranking for that session (and their place may be assigned to another candidate).
Subsequently the candidates may apply to:
• to repeat the test for the same degree course, by independently submitting an application through the online procedure, at no extra cost. In this case the score previously obtained for that course of studies will automatically be annulled;
• not to repeat the test, asking to be included in the first appropriate ranking for that course of studies, by filling out the form sent by the Registrar’s Office to all non-admitted candidates no later than the start of the last available session. In this case, only the last score obtained (not necessarily the most favourable) will be taken into account.
The registration of students awaiting the results of their school-leaving examination (the “Maturità”) will be considered conditional until confirmation is provided through the Online services of having passed the exam. Students must provide the date of passing the exam and the mark obtained by 18th July 2024. Failure to communicate the result of the Maturità examination by 18th July 2024 will result in the cancellation of the registration without the right to a refund of the first instalment paid.
The first instalment paid will only be refunded if documented proof is provided of failure to pass the examination.
Fourth-year high school students (or third-year students in the aforementioned 4-year courses) who pass the admissions test, will be able to keep the score obtained and access a dedicated registration window (November 2024) to have priority enrolment for the academic year 2025/26, procedures for which will be communicated in November 2024.
Scrolling of the ranking list
If the number of students admitted exceeds the number of places available, the number of students in excess will be placed on a waiting list while maintaining their position in the ranking.
For the scrolling procedures please read the Regulations for Admissions to Bachelor’s Degree Courses Academic Year 2024/2025.
Transfers from other Universities
First-year transfers are not permitted for degree courses for which admission is subject to a selective test. Conversely, for degree courses for which admission is not selective, it is possible to request a transfer even in the first year, subject to assessment of the applicant's academic records by the Registrar's Office, by writing to [email protected].
Transfers into second and third years are always possible. They do not require students to take the test and will depend solely on the students’ studies carried out thus far as assessed by the Registrar’s Office.
It is possible for students withdrawing from other universities to be admitted to the first year, with the possibility (to be assessed on a case-by-case basis) of validating exams already taken.
Candidates with disabilities, in possession of a certificate of civil disability and/or recognition of disabled status in accordance with Law 104/92, and candidates with Specific Learning Disorder (DSA), in possession of DSA certification in accordance with Law 170/2010 will be able to upload the documentation in PDF format during the online procedure for test enrolment.
This documentation shall be valid and issued in accordance with the law. In order to request the compensatory measures/dispensations it must be submitted at least 7 days before the test by sending an email to the diversaMENTE service at [email protected].
If you are an international applicant living abroad and having achieved (or about to achieve) a foreign upper secondary school qualification, you should submit your application on the portal apply.iulm.it
Please note: Taking the admission test is possible on the test date after confirmation of the eligibility and validity of the qualification from the Registrar’s Office.
