Updated information for students travelling from abroad to Italy
From 16 to 31 January 2021 entry and transit in the national territory are forbidden for travellers who have visited or transited through Brazil in the 14-day period prior to their expected day of entry.
Travellers visiting or transiting through the UK in the 14-day period prior to their entry to Italy are allowed entry to Italy only if resident in the country since before 23 December 2020 or for essential reasons that they must declare.
In these cases, travellers are allowed entry to Italy only if they:
a) present to the carrier on boarding, and to any other control authority, a negative molecular or antigenic swab test result carried out no earlier than 72 hours before entering the country;
b) undertake to carry out a molecular or antigenic swab test on arrival at the airport, port or border crossing, where possible, or within 48 hours from entering the country at their local health authority. Travellers entering Italy with a flight from the UK must carry out a swab test on arrival at the airport;
c) undertake, regardless of the swab test result under point b) above, to quarantine under medical supervision for a period of fourteen days, at their home or other place of residence, subject to communication of their arrival to the Prevention Department of the competent local health authority.
If the students are travelling from other countries, they should check the survey available on the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website to know what are the requirements for entering the country: infocovid.viaggiaresicuri.it/index_en.html
Further information on sanitary obligations including how to activate fiduciary isolation procedure, health surveillance and Covid tests points in Venice are available on the Veneto Region Health Authorities website (ULSS3 Serenissima for Venice area):

Globalization Program Spring 2021 - course registration
The opening of course registration is postponed to January 27, 3 pm Italian time.
In order to be able to register for courses, students need to pre-register first (white box at the bottom of all the GP pages on VIU website).
N.B Pre-registration is not automatic. It takes one or two days to get the application processed and approved.
The timetable of courses will be published on Monday, January 25.
While choosing courses, students must make sure that they do not overlap, as VIU system does not prevent registering for courses that are held at the same time.
