GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

All internship experiences must be previously approved in order to ensure their consistency and coherence with the educational objectives of the study program the students are enrolled in. At the end of the internship such experience is validated in order to obtain the credit points. To obtain recognition of the internship, it is necessary to follow the steps described in the following paragraph.

Authorization in advance
After having viewed the internship on the JobGate and having confirmed it formally, the student must request the in-advance authorization, by accessing the area ‘My internships’ and clicking on ‘Request internship recognition’.

The request is automatically made viewable to the Internship Office which can give approval, reject it or, for more information, ask the student to schedule a meeting.

The student views the request outcome in the yoU@B in the ‘My internships’ area of the JobGate portal. The assessment of the Internship Office is final. In case of any doubts the Internship Office will interact with the Program Director.
Notice: without advance authorization, the internship is not started as curricular internship.

Final validation
Once the internship is ended, the Internship Office views the evaluation sheets filled out by the trainee and company tutor (end of internship document) respectively. For need of information, the Internship Office can ask the student to schedule a meeting.
Once the final recognition has been obtained, the student can check the credit points recording in his/her academic career via the Punto Blu.

The University carries out checks during the internship of the student in order to verify the real running of the internship. In case the student is repeatedly not found the internship is annulled and the annulment communication is forwarded to the student, to the Program Director and to the host company.

In case of behavior contrary to the Honor Code and to the Regulations for the University internships during the experience, students can be reported to the Disciplinary Board.

Registration
The internship is registered by the set graduation deadline for the completion of the study plan. Generally, the internship must have been finished by that date.

Any uncompleted internships which have satisfied the minimum duration of time indicated above will still be recognized in the student's academic career. The recognition can be possible only if:

• the student has to graduate before the end of the internship. In case of request of enrollment in a Bocconi Master of Science program, for obtaining the additional point in the ranking;
• if the student applies for a scholarship.

In the above cases, filling out the end-of internship documents must be made in due time for the internship recording in the student’s academic career, as the the graduation deadline for the study plan completion (or the other deadlines relating to the above cases) approaches (at least one week before). In addition, the student must make an explicit request of recognition for the advance end of the internship to the Internship Office.

The recognition of curricular internships carried out between the end of the teaching of the first year and the beginning of the second year teaching is tied to earning all credit points of the first year (no exams not passed at the end of the exam periods of both the first semester - February and of the second semester - June - without using make-up sessions).

International certifications recognized as an alternative to the first language exam, must be achieved by the middle of July and recorded in the study plan by the end of August.
The recognition process does not require advance authorization.
The checks on exams completion in the set timelines is made ex-post in October, if successful the student can apply for recognition of the internship within three months, accessing the JobGate area "My internships" in the "Internship data"and clicking" Request internship recognition".

The internship is recorded in the student’s study plan of the third year, despite immediately viewable as ‘in the study plan’.
If the student will carry out more internships with potential curricular value in the years following the first one, the internship already registered in the study plan is valid. Students cannot choose the internship to be recognized as curricular, at the end of the study program.
