Current regulations

Specifically, it states that "Le certificazioni rilasciate dalla pubblica amministrazione in ordine a stati, qualità personali e fatti sono valide e utilizzabili solo nei rapporti tra privati. Nei rapporti con gli organi della pubblica amministrazione e i gestori dei pubblici servizi i certificati e gli atti di notorietà sono sempre sostituiti dalle dichiarazioni di cui agli articoli 46 e 47" (autocertificazioni). [Certifications issued by public administration offices regarding status and personal information are valid and can be used only in relations between private parties. In relations with the public administration and public services managers, certifications and official deeds (notarial deeds) are always substituted by statements, as stipulated in articles 46 and 47 (self-declarations).] Last change 01/06/2021 08:00 |

Certifications
Certifications issued by Bocconi University with the Bocconi logo have a digital tag in most cases and they are subject to the payment of the imposta di bollo ‘stamp duty’ (for details, see Costs and Payment Methods). Certificates requested through cert@B and issued by Academic Services and Market & Partners have a digital tag (see note) and are available: - in electronic format only, if the recipient is a private organization (‘private use in Italy’); Note: The digital tag’s authenticity can be verified by using the software made available by Bocconi University at the address www.unibocconi.it/certificatedecoder. Certificates requested through cert@B and issued by the unit Students, however, do not have a digital tag and will be issued in paper format only, regardless of the use selected by the applicant. In case of exemption in accordance with Italian law, certifications exempt from the payment of duty stamps can be requested at the Desk of the office responsible for the certification issue.
Requests and the different types of certifications are outlined according to the applicant's specifications, and differ according to one's academic path as follows:

Timelines and procedures for receiving certificates
Certificates cannot be issued by the appropriate office when forwarding the cert@B request: timelines and delivery methods are different depending on the requested certification typology. As a general rule however, you should consider approximately at least 4 working days for issuing certifications listed in cert@B. As soon as the certification is prepared, the interested party will receive a communication through the yoU@B Diary and the Bocconi email account, containing full details on how to receive certificates. Depending on which Division issues the certificate and the use selected, the certificate will be delivered in one of the following ways: - For certificates in electronic format: the file of the certificate will be available for download in the yoU@B Diary (in the To Do List and then in cert@B) for 15 days; NOTICE: Once the link is expired, student must submit a new certificate request via cert@B. It is not possible to re-activate a link when already expired.
In both cases, the timelines for receiving certifications depend on each individual service provider. Last change 02/07/2021 16:36 |

Diploma Supplement
The Diploma Supplement is a supplementary report of the official title obtained at the end of a course of studies in a university or in an institute of higher education. It complies with a European model created as an initiative of the European Commission, European Council and UNESCO-CEPES. The Diploma Supplement contains only official data on the student's academic career, excluding discretionary evaluations, declarations of equivalence or suggestions on recognition. It describes the nature, level, context, content and status of studies carried out and completed by the student. It is divided into more sections that contain the following information:
A bilingual version of the Diploma Supplement is available only to graduates, and, because it is not subject to a stamp duty ‘imposta di bollo,’ it can only be picked up upon requests submitted exclusively to the Academic Services Desk (P.zza Sraffa 11 room 218 accessible through the One-Stop Service Center, Piazza Sraffa 13). The timelines for issuing the certification will be communicated when submitting the request. Last change 02/07/2021 16:45 |
