Universitaly (university portal)
Plain English
It's the Italian Ministry of Universities\' official portal where non-EU students start their pre-iscrizione at Italian universities and link their visa file. It also hosts info about programs and admission requirements.
Why it matters
Italian consulates rely on Universitaly to verify a student\'s pre-iscrizione before issuing the study visa. The portal is the bridge between universities and the visa system.
Common confusion
Universitaly handles the visa-pre-iscrizione side. Each university also runs its own admission procedure with separate documents and deadlines.
