IMAT 2026 After-Ranking Checklist: Enrolment, Visa and Scholarship
Ranking, enrolment, fees, scholarship, visa and residence-permit checks, for the national ranking (EU and EU-equivalent candidates) and for non-EU applicants resident abroad, who follow their own university.

- What to do as ASSEGNATO, PRENOTATO, IN ATTESA or POSTI ESAURITI
- Non-EU track: local ranking; enrolment windows at Parma, Bologna, Ancona and Pavia; enrolment rules at Bari, Catania, Naples Federico II, Padua, Sapienza and Vanvitelli
- Study visa (type D), the residence permit kit and its four costs
- Tuition fee routes with deadlines where published, and DSU application-window checks

The four statuses of the national ranking
For EU citizens and non-EU citizens with EU-equivalent status who scored at least 20 points. Non-EU applicants resident abroad are ranked by their own university and do not get these statuses.
- ASSEGNATO (assigned) — You have a seat at the highest preference your rank allows. You must enrol within the window, or you are withdrawn.
- PRENOTATO (reserved) — You have a seat at a lower preference. Enrol there, or wait for a higher one and confirm your interest.
- IN ATTESA (waiting) — No seat yet. Confirm your interest after every publication, or you drop out of the ranking.
- POSTI ESAURITI (places exhausted) — No place is left at any of your preferences. Nothing to confirm.
EU citizens and non-EU citizens with EU-equivalent status: the national ranking
You appear in the national ranking that CINECA publishes on Universitaly with names (DM 1005/2026). The four statuses and the 4-day window are this track only. Steps are grouped by topic and each has its own deadline: watch every one that applies to you.
1. Ranking day, Monday 26 October: find your status
2. Count your window: 4 days to enrol, 12:00 on the 5th day to confirm
3. If you are ASSEGNATO (assigned): enrol inside the window
4. If you are PRENOTATO (reserved): enrol, or wait and confirm
5. If you are IN ATTESA (waiting): confirm your interest after every publication
6. If you see POSTI ESAURITI (places exhausted)
The step titles are free. The full checklist adds, for every step, what to do, the timing rule and the official sources, with document lists where they apply.
One payment, no subscription. Access opens on this page once the payment is confirmed.
Fees and the scholarship in detail
The fee route at 13 universities, the CAF route step by step, family documents by home country and 14 DSU scholarship calls are in a separate PDF: the ISEE parificato & DSU scholarship kit.
Before you buy
Is this the official procedure?
No. It is a planning aid built from official sources (the IMAT decree, the 2026/27 university calls of Parma, Bologna, Ancona, Bari, Catania, Naples Federico II, Padua, Pavia, Sapienza and Vanvitelli, the MUR circular for international students, Polizia di Stato, Poste Italiane and university fee pages). Every step is taken from official sources read between 29 September and 25 October 2026; each source shows when it was read. Deadline arithmetic is ours. Your Universitaly area shows the binding national-ranking dates; follow the rules of your university, your DSU body and the Questura.
Does it tell me whether I will get a seat?
No. It tells you what to do with the status or ranking you have, and by when. It does not predict a rank or a seat.
My university's call is not in that list.
The national status and deadline rules described here apply to everyone in the national ranking; enrolment procedures depend on your university's call. For the non-EU track, your university's call sets your dates and procedure; each step says what to check there.
