The general criteria for access to “part-time” follow:

1. General Criteria

By 15 September the student may submit the application to obtain the status of “part-time student” in teaching activities for the academic year in question.

The part-time student undertakes to acquire no less than 12 and no more than 42 academic credits for each year by the third examination session of each year, in twice the normal duration of the course of study. At the same time, the student obtains extended student status and partial exemption from paying academic fees for the academic years concerned.

Any student enrolled or enrolled in the normal years of the first or second level diploma course who, for work, family or personal reasons, considers that he/she is not in a position to advance in his/her academic career within the normal timeframe laid down in the Conservatoire's didactic regulations, may request the status of “part-time student”.

The status of “part-time student” allows the acquisition of the credits of an academic year in two years; however, the attendance of the subjects chosen and divided between the partial years must be completed within the same year, with the exception of the attendance of the discipline that gives the course its name and that can be taken at 50% in one year and 50% in the following year (e.g. in the case of the three-year course of vl. or pf., performance practice and repertoire, 32 h : 2 = 16 h).

The academic credits acquired upon passing the relevant profit examinations will be fully counted in the year provided for in one's study plan.

The part-time student

• must pay the regional tax for the right to university study in full each year;
• must pay, for each year in which it qualifies, the reduced academic contribution as indicated in the section “Fees and academic contributions”.
• enjoys the same exemptions as for full-time students.

2. Repeatability of the application and limitations

The status of “part-time student” is valid for the academic year in which it is requested and the following additional academic year.
The status of “part-time student” can also be obtained in further academic years by reapplying for it, extending the duration of studies up to twice the normal duration for first- and second-level courses.

The application for the status of part-time student may not be submitted for the academic year in which the student intends to use services such as international mobility (through the Erasmus programme or otherwise) or part-time collaboration.

A student who submits an application to sit the final examination before the end of the cycle of normal years of the course increased by the year(s) in which he or she qualified as a part-time student shall, prior to the final examination, be required to reimburse the academic contribution fees for which he or she had enjoyed exemption.

3. Loss of qualification as a part-time student

A student who acquires fewer than 12 or more than 42 academic credits during the academic years in which he/she takes on the status of “part-time student” loses this status and is required to pay the academic fees for which he/she had enjoyed facilities, plus penalties and interest for late payment.

A student who requests temporary suspension of studies or applies for withdrawal loses the status of a part-time student and is required to pay the portion of the academic fees for which he or she had enjoyed exemption.

4. Renouncing the status of part-time student

A request to waive the status of “part-time student” may be submitted within the first year of the year in question by sending an e-mail to
iscrizioni.tasse@consmi.it.
