Gaining credit for exams taken as part of the Exchange, Free-Mover Semester and Free-Mover Summer Programs is not usually automatic and depends on the following credit approval procedure.
In order to obtain approval, students seeking credit must present the course program before departure to the Course Director of the corresponding Bocconi course.
If the elective courses do not correspond to any courses offered by Università Bocconi, students must apply to the Program Director or one of his/her delegates before departure. This refers to the Exchange Program only and is limited to particular cases.
To start the credit approval procedure students should contact the International Relations Office who will receive the academic transcript from the host university abroad. Based on this document and the student's request, the "Summarized credit approval report" and "Individual exam report" will be prepared. These will be used for exam conversion together with the "mark conversion table".
Students can go to the Course Director of the Bocconi equivalent course (or the Program Direct or his/her delegate for courses that do not have a Bocconi equivalent) with the "Summarized credit approval report" and "Individual exam report" in order to have the exam mark recorded. Exam registration via Punto Blu or Virtual Punto Blu is not necessary.
The Course Director (or the Program Director or his/her delegate) will send the "Individual exam report" to the Student Administration Centre.
Once this process has been completed students will hand in once again the "Summarized credit approval report" to the International Relations Office. They will then go to the Teaching Services and Organization Desk to make any elective course changes that have not yet been included in the study plan.
The normal credit approval procedure does not apply to some courses (indicated on the Internet site at http://www.ir.unibocconi.it/exchange). These courses are automatically recognized. Therefore, it is not necessary to submit the course profile before departure to the Course Director or Program Director or one of his/her delegates. Nor is it necessary to submit the individual exam report to have the course registered.
