Social Inclusion and Sustainability

Psychological Counseling Service

The counseling service is open to all enrolled students and is completely free of charge. An initial welcome interview is scheduled, followed by a maximum of 3 counseling sessions. If necessary, during counseling, indications may be given for subsequent help provided by the Public Service.

The service offered is described on the University’s website. Click here to visit the page.

Counseling can also be conducted remotely via telephone, telematics, or video call.

To access the Psychological Counseling Service, individual students can book an appointment by sending an email to consulenzapsicologica@unitus.it, mediated by the Manager of the Educational Services Office.

 

Student Contribution Facilitation

Students who enroll or register for subsequent academic years after the first, with recognition of a disability condition equal to or greater than 66%, under Article 3, paragraph 1 of Law 104/1992, are exempt from paying the annual comprehensive contribution and the regional tax for the right to university education. Students with disabilities ranging from 40% to 65% are partially exempt from student contributions. To obtain the exemption, the student must indicate the disability situation in the online registration procedure and upload the documentation attesting this condition.

Peer Tutoring

Peer tutoring involves individual support activities provided by students enrolled in three-year and master’s degree courses to students with disabilities or specific learning disabilities (SLD). Tutors provide educational support activities for attending lectures (notes), study support, assistance during educational or laboratory activities, bibliographic research, administrative procedures, and interactions with professors. The services may also include support for students with disabilities in moving within university spaces required for participating in educational activities.

Exam Support

To take exams, it is possible to adapt study methods and exam procedures, based on what is established by Law 104/1992, while maintaining the expected learning objectives. Individualized treatment may include:

Use of specific technical tools according to the type of disability

Possibility to take equivalent tests

Possibility to have additional resources, starting from a minimum of 30% more, extending it to higher percentages based on the disability or SLD condition.

Entrance Exam

The application of compensatory measures for taking the entrance exam is possible. To apply the measures, write to inclusione@unitus.it.

Transportation

The transportation service allows the use of a dedicated vehicle to travel to the university facilities.

Provision of IT Equipment

Students can receive computer equipment on loan to facilitate participation in all university activities.

Accompaniment

The accompaniment and assistance service, from the department’s entrance gate to the internal premises of the structure, aims to enable participation in university lectures, meetings with professors, and activities related to thesis preparation.

Inclusion and Equity Department Contacts

Each department has a Referent for inclusion and equity, a natural interlocutor for students with disabilities or SLD. The Referent accompanies the student in their educational path, identifying, if necessary, through consultation with psychologists, the compensatory and dispensatory measures to be applied.

International Mobility

Students interested in participating in international student mobility programs activated by the University may access additional funding, determined based on the specific needs represented by the student, compared to the ordinary contribution that will be paid to cover the expenses for the stay abroad. For information, students can contact the Office of Mobility and International Cooperation (contact erasmusincoming@unitus.it).

Other Activities

Relations with public high schools in the Lazio region to exchange information regarding the situation of students with disabilities or SLD; awareness-raising action for teaching staff on the integration of people with disabilities or SLDs in the study and work environment; organization of study meetings and conferences on the theme of disability in the university and post-university context.
