Documental access, provided for by Chapter V of Law No. 241 of 7 August 1990 (Article 22 et seq.) and by Presidential Decree No. 184 of 12 April 2006, concerns the right of the data subjects to view and obtain copies of administrative documents held by public administrations.

The application for access to documents can be submitted informally (if there are no other data subjects with an interest in accessing the documents, there are no doubts about the legitimacy of the applicant and it is possible to grant the request immediately); or formally, by filling out and submitting the form below and attaching an identification document.

Anyone with a direct, concrete and current interest, corresponding to a legally protected situation and connected to the document for which the access is requested, can apply for access. For this reason, the request must indicate the interest in viewing or extracting a copy of the document. The administration will assess, on the basis of the reasons given, whether the applicant has a direct, concrete and current interest in viewing the document. The applicant must indicate the documents they are interested in. The examination of documents is free of charge. The provision of copies is subject to reimbursement of the cost of production, without prejudice to the provisions in force regarding stamp duty. The University is not bound to produce documents that are not already in its possession at the time of the request. Access is granted in accordance with the limits and criteria set by Law No. 241 of 7 August 1990, Presidential Decree No. 184 of 12 of April 2006 and the Regulations on access to University documents and data (available in the relevant section below).
