2. Financial Eligibility Caps (ISEE & ISPE)
To qualify for any EDISU financial benefit, your household economic status must strictly stay below these official ceiling thresholds:

3. How EDISU Dorm Residence Rankings Work
Dorm placement waitlists are determined using two completely different scoring systems depending on your year of study:
| Student Level | Primary Ranking Criterion | How Placement is Decided |
|---|---|---|
| First-Year Students (Primo Anno) | 100% Economic (ISEE Score) | Sorted strictly from lowest ISEE to highest ISEE. Lower income = higher position on dorm waitlist! |
| Ongoing Students (Anni Successivi) | Merit CFU Credits + ISEE Score | Scored using a formula combining university credits passed (minimum CFU threshold) and average exam marks. |
