After your enrolment, you need to update your personal page on GCS Student Career Management with your Italian personal information (e.g., domicile in Florence and Italian phone number). It is important that you keep it up to date.

The closing date of your Erasmus in Florence coincides with either the date of your last exam (regardless of the outcome) or the end date of your classes if no exam was taken.

We will then procede to send to you and your Home University all the necessary documents for closing your mobility (e.g. the Transcript of Record, Certificate of Attendance). 

To avoid delays in the issuance of the final Transcript of records, while in Florence, check periodically on GCS Student Career Management the transcripts of exams taken. It is important that records are kept, even of failed exams. Hence, it is your responsibility to ask so to each Professor specifically.

The Certificate of Attendance issued upon arrival and departure is in Unifi format. No other form or declaration will be signed.

You have formally ended your Erasmus mobility period in Florence by checking out. Therefore, you can no longer take exams or other educational activities.

What is the Codice Fiscale?

The codice fiscale is an alphanumeric code that is used to identify foreign citizens in their relations with public authorities and other administrations. It is essential for obtaining a residence permit, to rent an apartment, to request a telephone line/mobile SIM card, etc.

How to apply for the Codice Fiscale

Citizens of European Union may apply for the codice fiscale to any office of the Italian Revenue Agency showing, along with the relevant form (AA4/8), a valid identification document (identity card or passport).

In any case, the Codice Fiscale is issued immediately and free of charge.

The (AA4/8) Form

 You can download the AA4/8 form in Italian, English, Spanish, French, German and Slovenian.

Non EU Citizens

The tax identification number can be obtained from the offices of the Italian Revenue Agency, by submitting a request indicating the personal data and the residence for tax purposes where the card should be delivered.

Citizens from non-EU Countries must submit at least one of the following documents:

• a valid passport with visa (if required), or any other document accepted by the Italian authorities
• a certificate of identity issued by the Italian diplomatic or consular authorities of the Country of nationality (with photo)
• a valid residence permit (permesso di soggiorno)
• an ID card issued by the municipality of residence in Italy.

Non-EU citizens must also prove that they have the right to stay, even temporarily, in Italy.

What to do in case of incorrect data on the Codice Fiscale

In case of incorrect data showed on the Codice Fiscale, you must require a replacement by going to any Italian Revenue Agency office with a valid identification document.

In case of loss or theft

You can request a duplicate of the Codice Fiscale by filling the request online.

As an alternative, you can request it directly to a territorial office of the Italian Revenue Agency.

Courses on Health and Safety in Study and Research Areas

This course is mandatory to be allowed to start with your internship, together with the blood test and medical examination (for free and to do upon your arrival), in order to obtain the medical certificate to perform an internship activity in our School.

General course (e-learning 4 hour – PART 1) and specific classroom 12 hours (Part 2) are compulsory for all students who for study or research purposes work in laboratories, medical departments and all other work places that present specific risks. According to the Consolidated Safety Act (Legislative Decree 81/08), the status of students in all of these situations, as concerning their safety, is deemed equivalent to that of workers, and like workers, they must be familiar with health and safety requirements in areas designated for work. To take the courses, students must access the https://formstudelearning.unifi.it/ entering their username (Registration’s number - MATRICOLA) and password.
