GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

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

• July 2011 for students enrolled in the 2010-2011 academic year;
• July 2012 for students enrolled in the 2011-2012 academic year.

Please 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 second year language exam, if students have obtained the recognition of an international certification (See: "Foreign languages and computer skills") are not included. 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 are unable to 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 lessons and does not give them access to exams before the end of the lessons for the semester in which the course is held.

Students regularly enrolled in the academic year as regular ("in corso") or repeating students 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.);
• can obtain enrolment certifications for the academic year in which they are enrolled.

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

After the third year, students who have not yet completed the study plan usually enroll as repeating students fuori corso. However students can also enroll as repeating students "ripetente".

Enrolment must be carried out during the 2 August - 2 September 2011 by accessing, via yoU@B student Diary, to the Punto Blu Administrative Area menu.

The enrolment procedures are as follows:
 

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

After selecting "Enrolment in the academic year", the system automatically allows:

• first year students to enrol in the "regular" second year of studies if they have earned 24 credit points by the July exam period;
• first year 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, the choice of electives (when taught in both Italian and English, specify the language chosen) and, if requested, the teaching method (traditional or e-learning) and the second foreign language.

Once enrolment has been completed, students can print the Enrolment certification and the Official academic transcript from Punto Blu.

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 2011 students will not be able to carry out any administrative or learning activities or make use of any other services.

Students who do not enrol by 2 September 2011, for whatever reason, can enrol during the 3 September - 31 December 2011(*) period, upon payment of a late-enrolment fee (for detailed information check the website at www.unibocconi.eu/fees.

After 31 December 2011 enrolment is only possible as repeating students, ("fuori corso or "fuori corso intermedio") only if the Rector approves a written request for an extension of the enrolment deadline which must be submitted, and the payment of the penalty fees due made (for detailed information please check www.unibocconi.eu/fees) , to the Academic Affairs Division Desk.

(*) Since 31 December 2011 is a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next working day (3 January 2012).

From 9 to 23 January 2012, by using the Punto Blu, that can be accessed via yoU@B, BIEMF students enrolled in the second year of studies must choose from among the following majors:

• Economics
• Finance
• Management
