Access anomalies to the Admissions Portal
In order to access the ESSE3 Admissions Portal you must use your student credentials, generally in the following format:
firstname.surnameXX - where XX represents a sequential number (for example: mario.rossi01, mario.rossi02).
If your credentials are no longer active or if you have forgotten your password, you can recover them by yourself following these steps:
1 - Select the "Forgotten Password" or "Password Recovery" option available on the login page;
2 - Enter: your username and/or your tax code.
3 - Choose the recovery method from those proposed by the system: your registered personal email address and/or your mobile number associated with the account.
You should contact the support when:
- you no longer have access to your registered personal email address;
- the phone number associated with your account has changed;
- you are unable to complete the credential recovery process independently.
In these cases, you will need to contact the office to open a ticket so that your contact information can be updated in the Identity Management System (IMS) and your credentials could be recovered.
Send an email to the PhD Office at: dottorati.ricerca-rm@unicatt.it
Please include all the following information or your support request will not be processed:
- First and Last Name;
- Tax Code;
- Personal Email address;
- Phone Number;
- iCatt Account (if applicable);
- A brief description of the problem.
- Please also attach, if possible, a screenshot of the error encountered.
We recommend checking first that:
- the registered mobile number is still active;
- the personal email address associated with the account is accessible;
- you are using the correct student credentials in the required format.
Once these aspects have been verified, in most cases, password recovery could be done independently using the functions available on the portal.
