CLEACC

All students must choose 1 course from among:

• the workshops offered in the group of 10 workshops exclusively addressed to CLEACC students
• an Internship or
• an elective course exclusively if it has been passed abroad as part of the Campus Abroad, Exchange and Free mover semester programs.

Before choosing elective courses students are advised to check the list of courses available, programs, lessons schedule, and the "incompatible" and "banned" courses (Italian version).

Students participating in international programs will be given the possibility of changing their study plan once they come back from the exchange (see 9.3.4 Change of study plan for students participating in international programs). However, upon enrolling in the academic year, students are advised to choose elective courses coherent with their interests, in case they have to sit for some exams at Bocconi.

After enrolling in the academic year students are allocated the elective courses chosen for both the first and the second semester. The courses chosen are therefore immediately viewable in the students’ study plan.

The allocation of elective courses is made on the basis of the sign-up positions when students made the course choice/change.

As a general rule, each course class group must not have more than 110 students.

Except for:

• third year CLEACC workshops whose maximum limit of 35 enrolled students is set;
• the modules relating to the course Metodo, critica e ricerca nelle discipline artistiche of the CLEACC second year program structure. The limit of 90 participating students is set;
• very rare cases of elective courses for which a different limit is set.

In the limit of 110 students, the following categories of students are not included:

• students participating in international programs who come from foreign universities;
• student who opt to change from a four degree system to the three-year one;
• students who have already graduated from Bocconi and have been admitted to the third year of studies.

Bocconi students participating in international programs may include courses that at Bocconi have reached the maximum number of students enrolled in their academic career only with the purpose of recording exams passed abroad in their academic career.

Students who enroll in the academic year after 30 August, and especially during the period from 31 August 2016 to 31 December 2016(*), can choose their first- and second-semester electives from the list of electives still available at the time of enrolment in the academic year.

(*) Since 31 December 2016 is a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next working day (3 January 2017).

During the 9 - 20 January 2017 period students can change the first- and second-semester electives included in their study plan with other second-semester electives, as long as they refer to the current academic year via Punto Blu.

Changing electives is always subject to the limited numbers as described in "Electives allocation".

Bocconi students participating in International programs can modify their study plan when they come back (and in the periods scheduled for all students: 25 July to 30 August 2016 and from 9 to 20 January 2017) one extra time (see Electives allocation paragraph 9.3.2) through the Punto Blu, via the yoU@B Diary.
Once the recognition procedure has been completed and the exams taken abroad have been recorded in the student’s academic career, the student receives a message on his/her yoU@B Diary stating that it is possible to modify the study plan via the yoU@B Diary>Punto Blu tab. In addition to the study plan change for entering the courses taken abroad, the students can include courses to be taken at Bocconi as long as there are still places available.
