GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

 

Students must choose the second foreign language when enrolling.
Students can change  2^nd language using Punto Blu  that can be accessed by the yoU@B student Diary, in Administrative Area (Language choice/change) in the period 30 July - 30 September 2015 and between 08 - 19 January 2016.
Information regarding language choice and courses on offer is available in "Foreign Languages and Computer Skills" and on the site at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre

Additional courses are those whose credit points provide more than the 180 credit points needed to fulfil the Italian degree requirements. WBB students, who choose to spend the fourth year of studies at Università Bocconi, can include a maximum of three additional courses in their study plan, provided that they have passed all course exams of the first two years and half (only academic activities having an equivalent in the Bocconi study plan will be taken into account).
Additional courses can be selected from among foreign languages and elective courses, which will be offered to WBB students starting the 2016/2017 academic year.

Students can choose additional courses from the fourth year of studies. Further information on the timeline and procedures will be published on the Guide to the University 2016/2017 (usually, choices are made between the end of July and mid January).

To calculate the average, only two additional exams may be considered (those for which students received the highest marks; if grades achieved are the same, the ones with an highest number of credit points are considered). Additional courses may be removed by submitting a request to the Academic Affairs Division Desk.

It is not possible to remove an activity from the study plan which has been passed and recorded.

In the period 22 January - 15 February 2016 students enrolled in the third year of the WBB must choose the University where they intend to attend the fourth year, by choosing from among:

• Università Bocconi (Milano);
• University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business (Los Angeles);
• Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong).

The choice must be made via the appropriate form, in accordance with methods which will be communicated in a subsequent moment.

Students who during the academic year are carrying out military service or civil service duties, female students in the year of birth of each child and students who are forced to interrupt studies because of serious illness and certified prolonged medical conditions can apply to temporarily interrupt their studies in accordance with DPCM 09/04/2001.
Temporary interruption of studies means that students will not be able to complete any administrative operations, participate in educational activities or make use of any university services. The years for which the student did not enrol do not count towards disqualification. For each year of temporary interruption students are required to pay a fixed sum set by the TCA (University Fees Office).

Students can withdraw from their studies at any time, ending their academic career. Their intention to withdraw must be communicated in a written, clear and concise form.

The withdrawal form is to be collected, filled out and submitted to the Academic Affairs Division Desk.

The application should include a declaration stating that there are no pending obligations with ISU Bocconi (Student Assistance and Financial Aid), the Bocconi Library, and other University Offices. A marca da bollo worth of euro 16,00 must be attached to the application.

Students must pay university fees and tuition up to the submission of the withdrawal form according to the payment deadlines defined by TCA (University Fees Office).

Students who submit the withdrawal form should contact the TCA (University Fees Office) in order to check any pending obligations with reference to any tuition and fees deadline expired.
Withdrawn students can obtain certifications regarding the previous academic career and credit points earned.
