Statute of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

TITLE I - General Principles

Art. 7 - Network organisation of universities

• 1. The University promotes the conditions that make the right to study effective in implementation of Articles 3 and 34 of the Constitution and current laws on the right to university studies, in particular for capable and deserving students, even if they lack the means. It also favours the integration of non-resident students, foreign students and students with disabilities through appropriate organisational and participatory choices. The University organises orientation activities in order to allow young people to make informed choices. To this end, the University fosters collaborations and promotes common activities together with educational institutions, local authorities and all those public and private subjects operating in the training and professional fields and having the specific skills and competences to exercise this function. The University organises tutoring activities aimed at accompanying students throughout the course of study and facilitating subsequent professional access.
• 2. Through the bodies presiding over the teaching activity, the University promotes the establishment of appropriate tools which have the task of evaluating the effectiveness and quality of teaching, also with the participation of student representatives.
• 3. The University can promote distance teaching courses, regulating the methods of implementation and recognition in the University Didactic Regulations and in the regulations of individual teaching facilities.
• 4. Within the scope of its own purposes and available resources, the University promotes initiatives for the job placement of students who have completed their Degree Programmes.
• 5. The University contributes to the training activities self-managed by students in the fields of culture, cultural exchanges, sport and leisure, without prejudice to those governed by specific legislative provisions. The University also enhances university associations, providing adequate resources for the activities promoted by registered associations and for the cultural and social activities of students.
• 6. In compliance with the provisions of Law no. 394 of 28 June 1977, the relevant regulation, as well as subsequent modifications and integrations, the management of the university sports facilities and the performance of the related activities are entrusted, by agreement, to the University Sports Centres at the two seats, under the control of their Sports University Committee.
• 7. Students contribute to the funding of the University through the payment of fees and contributions determined according to criteria of fairness, solidarity and progressivity.
