What is it?

Icon

UniTrentoApp for mobile devices for Android and iOS was designed to meet the needs of the University community, which is increasingly connected, smart and on the move. It will provide an alternative way to access services and content that are already available on the web: students, in particular, will be able to consult their student record, see their professors' contact information, view their course's timetable, read University news, consult their canteen account and search for free study rooms.

Who is it for?

The new UniTrentoApp can be installed for free on all recent smartphones. Its main features were designed for the students of the University, who will access through their UniTrento credentials. Other app features will be soon developed for teaching and staff.

What is it for?

Here is an overview of its main features:

  • Student record: navigate through the list of courses, find information on your program of study and view your grades
  • Class timetable: consult course calendars and create your personal timetable
  • Room availability: find out which rooms are free, in which department, and for how long
  • News/events: stay up to date with news and events organized by the University or a Department
  • Lunch card: view your card transactions and lunch card credit balance in real time
  • Directory: find the contact details of your professors and add them to your favourites to read their notices and office hours and learn about their thesis proposals

Developers

The App was developed in-house by the Information systems directorate in collaboration with the Student services and the Communication and external relations directorates, with support from students.
