Daughters plan
My daughter did not receive her Visa in time to study in Italy this fall. From US. ,She went anyway. She will be there 112 days. Her plan is to travel to Croatia for a long weekend, then back to Italy, then to UK in October for a week, back to Italy. Then another trip, maybe Istanbul, and then back to Italy so she is only in Italy 90 days out of 112 days.
Do you think this is feasible to do?

no, but I will let others who know more about these rules answer in detail. I'm not sure, but I don't think it is that easy to "reset" the 90 day clock, I think you have to be gone from Schengen for 90 days before you come back to reset it, not just a weekend.

It doesn't work the way she thinks it does. She's probably better off (and this is JUST a personal opinion) staying in Italy the full 112 and doing a mea culpa if queried when she leaves. She should have school documentation in hand.
Her way or what I've suggested she is still in violation of the Schengen isa requirements. Can't the school help her?

Ignore the first two posts. The rule is 90 days in total out of 180, which can be split to one's liking. So if she does her math right, this will work. She shouldn't cut it too tight, though - better calculate with a bit less than 90 days in total. A sprained ankle, a pilot strike, a plane delay or a mistake in calculation can easily add a day or two.
She should definitely NOT stay the whole 112 days in Italy respective the Schengen zone.
But how can she study if she has just tourist status, after all? That seems the main problem to me.

Yes, she can do that as long as her passport is stamped with exit and re-entry dates.
Often if you exit the Schengen through a 'relaxed' border crossing they will just wave you in and out and you have no proof as to your entry and exit dates so it is ESSENTIAL she asks for passport stamps.

Studying in Europe within the 90 day limit from the U.S. is not uncommon for 10 week quarter based U.S. schools. My daughter did a term in Spain in college, and the program duration was about 80 days to avoid the visa issue.
