Access to student services and resources

Free Internet access is available in all student dormitories and on campus using the credentials provided by the University. Students will need to bring their own computer to use in their rooms and lectures. Each student will also obtain a personal Email-account. However, you must count on at least a week until your account will be activated. It will not be available right after your arrival, unless your enrollment is completed and you received your student ID and log in data. Students can also use their own eduroam Wi-Fi roaming service from other Universities.

International exchange students and guests of the University of Turin can rent a room at residences managed by EDISU Piemonte, the Regional Agency for the Right to Education of Piedmont. Rooms at Edisu must be booked through the EDISU online procedure (available in Italian and English) as soon as possible (at least 2 months before your planned arrival).For further information have a look at the following site: http://www.edisu.piemonte.it/en/services/living.

Insurance

If your country does not have a social agreement with Italy that includes an insurance clause, you must be insured in Italy. Students who are not-European have to insure themselves with public health insurance. We will assist you with the choice of an appropriate insurance and the paperwork involved, once you have arrived. The University of Turin provide cover against risks associated with institutional teaching and research activities and cover the structures of the University (real estate assets and equipment).
