GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

Students enrolled in the first year of studies are admitted to the second year only if they have earned at least 24 credit points relating to the first year by the exam period of: 

• July 2015 for students enrolled in the 2014-2015 academic year;
• July 2016 for students enrolled in the 2015-2016 academic year.
  

Please take note that such credit points refer to the courses included in the first year study plan and they also include the credit points earned when passing each single module if applicable to the course. Credits relating to the legal English exam and second language exams earned upon recognition of international certification (See: Method of assessing foreign language knowledge) are not included in the above calculation. At the end of the July exam period, credit points needed to move on to the second year are verified.

Students who have not fulfilled this requirement cannot take part in the September exam period and must continue their studies by enrolling as repeating students ("ripetente") in the first year of studies.

Enrolling as "ripetente" gives students the right to attend the lessons but does not give them access to exams before the end of lessons for the semester in which the course is held.

Students regularly enrolled in the academic year as regular ("in corso") or repeating ("ripetente"):

• are allocated a class group for the lessons;
• are allowed to sit partial and general exams;
• are granted access to the various services offered by the University (Library, IT rooms, etc.).

There are no restrictions for enrolment after the second year of studies.

Enrolment must take place during the 29 July - 1 September 2015 period via Punto Blu, that can be accessed by the yoU@B student Diary.

The enrolment procedures are as follows:

• select the Punto Blu"Enrolment in Academic Year" option;
• enter the requested enrolment data.

After selecting "Enrolment in the Academic Year", the system automatically allows:

• students to enrol in the "regular" second year of studies and the choice of a course between Diritto Comparato Privato [Comparative Private Law]  or Diritto Comparato Pubblico [Comparative Public Law] if they have earned 24 credit points by the July exam period;
• students to enrol as first year repeating students ("ripetente") if they HAVE NOT earned 24 credit points by the July exam period.
• students enrolled in the second year of studies, enrollment in the third year and the choice of the second foreign language;
• students already enrolled in the fourth year of studies, enrollment in the fifth year of studies along with the Major elective courses and the choice of one of the following educational activities worth 6 credit points among internship/seminars for the skills development/second foreign language in place of an elective course.

Enrolment in the academic year via Punto Blu is completed once the first instalment of the university fees and tuition has been paid and recorded in the student's academic career. If the first instalment is not paid by 15 September 2015 students will not be able to carry out any administrative or learning activities or make use of any other services offered to students.

Students who do not enrol by 01 September 2015, for whatever reason, can enrol during the 2 September - 31 December 2015(*) period upon payment of a late-enrolment fee (for detailed information check the website at www.unibocconi.eu/fees)
After 31 December 2015 enrolment is only possible as repeating students, (fuori corso or "fuori corso intermedio") with the payment of the penalty fees due made, to the Academic Affairs Division Desk (for detailed information visit the site at www.unibocconi.eu/fees).

(*) Since 31 December 2015 is a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next working day (4 January 2016).
