- Online, to the Student Administration Office: submit the request through the Alice portal. Download from the CAPS portal the latest approved study plan and send it to patrizia.lenzi@unipi.it. Notice: if none of the supervisors belong to the University of Pisa or to another Pisan academic institution, please contact the President of the Study Course before the submission;
- Online, to the Academic Services Office: submit the request through the CAPS interface. Login with your academic credentials, choose “Moduli” on the left menu and select “Laurea Magistrale: domanda di esame finale”.

- copy of the ‘libretto universitario’ (Transcript of Records) (instructions, in Italian), or a self-declaration with exams, signed and dated (downloadable in the ‘Certificates’ section of the Alice portal);
- thesis frontispiece, generated and printed directly from ETD; the frontispiece must be signed digitally by the main supervisor (see also the instructions on the University website, in Italian);
- receipt of the graduating student evaluation questionnaire. NOTICE: Since this point concerns the University of Pisa’s Student Office, it is recommended to check the University Student Office website for updates; changes may occur that are not yet reflected on this page. For any doubts or difficulties, contact patrizia.lenzi@unipi.it (Mathematics contact person at the Student Office).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: in the event of renunciation of the graduation session in which one has been registered, it is important to cancel immediately the application request through the Alice portal, and to notify both offices, i.e.:
-Up to 15 days before the start of the exam session, cancel the application through the Alice portal and send an email to inform of the withdrawal to patrizia.lenzi@unipi.it and segdid@dm.unipi.it;
-after this deadline, the withdrawal must be communicated via email to patrizia.lenzi@unipi.it and segdid@dm.unipi.it;
If the electronic front page has already been completed, the withdrawal from the graduation session must also be communicated to the ETD staff by writing to etd@sba.unipi.it. The data entered in the ETD portal up to that point will be deleted, allowing the electronic thesis process to be restarted afresh in the future.
You will then need to repeat the entire procedure (degree application and upload of required documents) in order to graduate in a subsequent session.
