Student Services Office
The Student Services Office can be found on the 1st floor of DISIT and deals with administrative procedures related to students’ university studies.
For all enquiries and career-related issues, please use the ticketing service UPO Risponde
There is also the new online helpdesk service UPOriceve, which allows you to make an appointment to speak directly with the staff of your Student Services Office. This service allows you direct communication in the event of urgent and complex issues, while for less urgent problems we ask you to use UPO Risponde or telephone your Student Services Office at the number you can find on the Departmental website.
In addition to UPOrisponde, the UPOriceve allows you to contact the Student Services Office in an efficient way to respond to your requirements.
You can find all the necessary information on the UPOriceve website page.
Please note! For particular procedures which need to be completed in person (e.g. collection of degree parchments or consignment of official original documents, etc.), it is always necessary to make an appointment as the Student Services Office does NOT accept visits without an appointment.
The textbooks for DISIT courses in Alessandria are available for loan and consultation at the Orti Library of the Alessandria campus (formerly the DISIT Library), located on the first floor at Viale Teresa Michel 11.
Vercelli campus
The Vercelli campus is located in piazza S. Eusebio 5, in the historic San Giuseppe Building, around 500 metres from the train station.
