After arrival
All Erasmus Incoming students are requested to come to the International Relations Office to receive all the papers necessary to their stay in Padua.
Then they must enrol at the Segreteria Studenti (Registrar's office) of the Faculty involved.
If you wish to attend modules and take the corresponding examinations, you will be requested to go to the Segreteria Studenti of the Faculty in which you are studying bringing with you two photos and a € 14,62 "marca da bollo" (revenue stamp, it can be bought at the tobacconist's). At the segreteria you will have to fill in some forms and you will receive the so-called "Libretto Erasmus".
At the end of your stay
You must return your Libretto Erasmus to the Segreteria Studenti where, at your request, an official certificate showing the results of the examinations you have taken will be issued.
If you simply need to obtain a Certificate of Attendance from your tutor in Padua, you must visit him/her at least once a month and keep him/her up to date as to what you are doing.
You can find the "Segreterie Studenti" of all Faculties at the following address:
Casa Grimani, Lungargine Piovego 2/3 - Padova

Canteen
Every Erasmus student can obtain a canteen card issued by ESU (the regional authority runs several hostels and canteens). This card gives access to eight ESU canteens with a fixed price of about 3.50 Euro per meal.
N.B. In order to obtain this canteen card you need the student card issued by your university certifying that you are enrolled at your university for the current academic year.
Erasmus student association
An association of Erasmus students has been founded in Padua, named AEP, member of the Erasmus Student Network (Galleria Tito Livio 7, 35122 Padova, tel: +390498273911 e-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it web:http://www.esnpadova.it)
One of its purposes is to welcome foreign students who are guests at our University, and help them to get to know the city. In addition, during the academic year they will organise some cultural and
recreative activities.
At the end of your Erasmus stay
In order to have a certificate with the exams you made in Padua (Transcript of records), you should request it to "Segreteria Studenti" some days before your departure, giving back your "libretto Erasmus" and a 14,62 "marca da bollo" (revenue stamp, it can be bought at the tobacconist's), telling them the exact address where you would like to receive the certificate. PAY ATTENTION: Transcript of records could not be sent without the request and the marca da bollo.
In order to have a certificate attesting your Erasmus stay in Padua, you should come to the International Relation Office: the date of the certificate issue will attest also the end of your Erasmus stay.
NO CERTIFICATE WILL BE GIVEN OR SENT AFTER YOUR LEAVING PADUA AT
THE END OF YOUR ERASMUS STAY.
