For students enrolled in a Bachelor or Master of Science degree course, partial reimbursements of the travel pass are calculated according to a percentage, as shown in the tables below, which varies according to the students’ economic level assigned at the deadline of 21st December 2023. The percentage refers to the amount indicated on the purchase receipt for a maximum reference value of:
- € 208 for students from bracket 1 to 39;
- € 258 for students from bracket 40 to 75.
Politecnico will reduce - for all applicants - the maximum amount considered for calculating the refundable amount by a 50% quota of the “Bonus Trasporti” (€ 30.00) as per Decree no. 4 of 28 March 2023; for those who self-declare in the online procedure to have obtained the "Bonus Trasporti", Politecnico will apply a reduction equal to 100% of "Bonus Trasporti" itself (€ 60.00).
In case of an application for both the reimbursement of the travel pass and the bike-sharing service subscription, the percentage will be applied to the sum of both values, up to the above-mentioned maximum limit.
Please note: students who are not eligible for a contribution reduction application because they benefit from a special economic treatment in accordance with the " Guida alla contribuzione 2023/24" (e.g.: disabled students, students holding a scholarship from external bodies, etc.) must submit a valid ISEE/ISEE Parificato to Ufficio Tasse, via the ticketing system, while applying for reimbursement no later than 21st December 2023. Otherwise, they will receive the reimbursement foreseen for economic bracket 75.
The maximum reimbursable sum for students enrolled in a PhD programme is fixed at € 125.
Please refer to Table 1 and Table 2 available here for the calculation of the amount that can be reimbursed for the transport passes.
