Italian university bureaucracy works on appointments

Italian segreteria offices rarely accept walk-ins — book online (sportello on demand) weeks in advance. Bring originals + photocopies of everything (passport, visa, enrollment letter). If you're told to come back, get a specific date in writing. This is normal — not personal.
