Students who will result housing assignees for a.y. 2024-25 following the procedure described above will be able to use the assigned accommodation only in presence of the following conditions:

1) REGULAR ENROLLMENT for a.y. 2024-25
> regular enrollment for the absolute first time for a.y. 2024-25 in the first regular year of a Master of Science (i.e. bachelor Bocconi students going to the Master of Science program)

or

> regular enrollment for a.y. 2024-25 for the absolute first time in a regular year subsequent to the first of a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Integrated Master of arts in Law or PhD program. Also students enrolled in the 1st year “fuori corso” of a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Integrated Master of Arts in Law program will be able to reside in the Bocconi residence halls.

It is specified that the years of enrollment are counted for each study cycle starting from the absolute first year of enrollment*.

It is specified that for students with a disability pursuant to Italian Law n.104/1992 or with civil disability equal or greater than 66% can reside in the Bocconi Residence Halls at a preferential rate also if enrolled for a.y. 2023-2024 in the 2nd year “fuori corso” year of a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Integrated Master of Arts in Law program.

*The absolute first year of enrollment shall be understood as any academic year of first enrollment in any kind of degree program (even if different from the one attended in the a.y. 2024-2025) which required the same education qualification as the one needed to access the attended program in the a.y. 2024-2025, in any University in Italy or abroad, even if the program has not been completed.

2) MERIT REQUIREMENT

For the purpose of eligibility to use the accommodation, the rules established in terms of merit requirements and detailed on the dedicated webpage for the different types of housing applications apply.

Before your arrival at the residence for a.y. 2024-25 you will have to pay the housing 1st installment: the deadline will be August 5th, 2024. You will see the MAV form for the payment on your you@B once you'll have completed your enrollment for a.y. 2024-25

Fees, deadlines and methods of payment a.y. 2024-25
It is specified that the possibility of seeing the MAV form for the housing 1st installment will be open to all students who will result assignees of a room as of early July 2024, regardless of their personal situation with respect to the merit or the enrollment requirement (please see paragraph 5). In fact, the verification of the requirements needed to use the accommodation can happen only at a later stage, after the deadline for payment.

It will therefore be the student's responsibility to verify that he/she has reached or is about to reach the merit and enrollment requirements. Failure to meet the requirements will in no way result in the cancellation of the amount due.

The University grants the right to leave the accommodation early and to withdraw from the commitment to such payment, exclusively in the foreseen cases of renunciation of the accommodation, proven by the specific academic reasons required for the acceptance of the renunciation request, and withdrawal from the accommodation, according to what detailed on the website pages dedicated to renunciation, withdrawal, cancellation and revocation. 

Students assigned housing for whom it is subsequently determined that they did not regularly enroll for the a.y. 2024-25 or did not meet the merit requirements will lose their right (eligibility) to use the Housing Service for the a.y. 2024-25. The assignment will be cancelled by the office and students will be required to leave the assigned accommodation immediately. It is specified that the payments due will remain the responsibility of the student even in the event of cancellation of the assignment. For this reason, before submitting a housing application, students are invited to pay particular attention to the provisions regarding the cancellation of the housing assignment, specified on the dedicated webpage.

If for a.y. 2024-25 you apply for new admission at a preferential rate and also apply for new admission at a full rate, by obtaining an assignment in that occasion, you will have any application and/or assignment at a preferential rate cancelled. Your assignment for a.y. 2024-25 will be at full rate.

Bocconi residences will be open from late August 2024 to late June 2025. The standard assignment period planned for AY 2024-25 meets the academic needs of most students.

There are no time restrictions on entry or exit for residence hall guests. There are restrictions, however, for external guests, whose presence in the residence hall is allowed only between 7 a.m. and midnight.

Regarding staying in the residence during the extraordinary opening periods (Christmas 2024 and July 2025), it will be necessary to submit a separate request.

It is specified that for July 2025 (request to be submitted in February 2025) the possibility of staying in July may be limited to students with academic needs (e.g., exams or internships) and that places may also be assigned in other residences, depending on the actual availability of Università Bocconi.

Bocconi University has accommodations in each residence hall that are designed to accommodate students with disabilities in order to offer them the possibility to easily live their university experience in a collective context that meets their needs. Students with disabilities who require special housing needs may contact the Office of Fees, Funding and Housing, which will evaluate, with each student, which housing is best suited to their specific needs. All reported issues and provided documentation will be treated confidentially and subject to applicable privacy regulations.In order for the Office to be able to satisfy the requests received, it is best to clarify your needs in advance. Interested students are advised to contact the Fees, Funding and Housing Office before submitting their housing application.
