The agreement is effective from 21 August to 15 November 2023 and is intended for regular on-course students at the University. The agreement has been extended to 30 November 2023.

To access the grant simply present the ad-hoc voucher (downloadable at https://www.idem.unipr.it/secure/tepunipr2023 subject to eligibility) and the MiMuovo card (alternatively a passport photo), activate your Student Card - CartaConto Università di Parma - at a Crédit Agricole Italia branch or online, and use it to make the payment.

Subscriptions can be purchased at several TEP points:

• at TEP ticket offices in Piazzale Barbieri or TEP Cicletteria counter, next to Parma train station (info and opening hours: https://www.tep.pr.it/tep/#descrizione-chapter4)

• at "TEP Mobile Point" of the Science and Technology Campus, Engineering terminus, from Sept. 27 to Oct. 12, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The MiMuovo card costs 5 euros and can be requested at https://cardmimuovo.tep.pr.it/ by selecting the desired subscription. The card can be collected after 7 days at Crédit Agricole Italia, agency 14, via Langhirano 51, where the Student Card can be directly activated. Once you have collected your MiMuovo card, simply reload it online at www.tep.pr.it or at TEP ticket offices by using the Student Card.

To access the deal students must pay half of the subsidised cost to TEP upon subscription, using the bank activated Unipr Student Card as a means of payment, then regularly pay the November 2023 fees, and finally pay the remaining half of the subscription cost to the University when paying the April 2024 tuition installment. If a student does not pay the November 2023 fees, TEP will discontinue the student's subscription after 3 months from subscription if urban, and 5 months (or the number of months as to cover the cost paid by the student at the time of subscription) if interurban, with no reactivation option.

The new subsidised rates can be found in the prospectus below.
