1. How can I access the facilities of Opera Universitaria?
Through a call for applications
Opera Universitaria is an institution for the right to study. For this reason, students applying for accommodation by participating in a call for applications and meeting the ISEE and ISPE thresholds are prioritized. For students enrolled in years subsequent to the first year, a merit requirement, differentiated by course of study, is also required.
The call for applications is published each year in June on Opera Universitaria website in the Scholarships section and is intended for:
- students regularly enrolled at the University of Trento;
- PhD students regularly enrolled at the University of Trento (if they are not already in receipt of another scholarship, of fees paid for any reason for the PhD course or who are not on paid leave);
- Conservatorio di Musica Bonporti, Scuola Superiore per Mediatori Linguistici and Trentino Art Academy.
The ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation) and ISPE (Assets Situation) economic indicators can be found in the ISEE certificate for the right to university study, which can be acquired through a CAF. Both indicators must be complied with jointly, subject to the exclusion of the application.
For the academic year 2024/2025, the maximum values allowed by the Call for Applications are as follows: € 26. 000 for ISEE and € 25.000 for ISPE.
Other students
If the applicant's financial indicators exceed the limits set out in the Call for Applications, it is not possible to submit the application.
At the end of the allocations to accommodation beneficiaries, the remaining beds will be made available to other students (NOT ELIGIBLE) at a different cost.
In view of what has happened in recent years, the remaining availability is low.

2. Is it possible to choose a specific type of room?
No. The room will be assigned automatically according to room availability and the location of your Department. For specific needs, it is possible to get in touch with the Ufficio Alloggi via ticket.
We remind you that rooms or apartments are divided by gender. So it is not possible to be allocated with partners and/or family. Moreover, it is forbidden to have pets. (See: Article 6(11)(j) of the Provisions for the use of housing services of Opera Universitaria).

4. Does a student who has already been assigned the accommodation have to re-apply every year?
Yes. Students who have been assigned to accommodation can extend the contract for the following academic year, as long as they satisfy the requirements set out in the Call (the economic condition AND merit required by their own Department).
The other students (NOT ELIGIBLE) cannot extend their contract and must leave the accommodation by August 31st. They will be able to re-apply for accommodation, if available, once the ranking of the eligible students has been exhausted.

5. A student who renews the contract for another academic year has to pay the deposit again?
No, the deposit must be paid only at the beginning of the accommodation contract.
After you close your accommodation contract and leave the accommodation, you can ask for the return of the deposit by filling in the specific form and sending it to the certified email address operauniversitaria@pec.operauni.tn.it.
You will receive your money back on your bank or postal account within 60 days from the end of the contract.

6. Is it possible to end the accommodation contract before its expiry?
It is possible to close the accommodation contract before the natural expiry date indicated in the assignment report, by notifying Opera Universitaria Accommodation Office in writing at least 30 days in advance.
Please note that students must have an active contract of at least 10 months (with Opera or with a private contract) in order to maintain their off-site student study grant.

7. When does the accommodation contract forfeit?
The guest loses the benefit of the accommodation place for:
- acquisition of the title of the course in which he/she is enrolled (graduation);
Even in this case it is necessary to contact the Opera Universitaria Accommodation Office at least 30 days in advance.
- transfer to another degree course;
- permanent interruption of studies.

10. How to connect to the Wi-Fi service?
