GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

The student kit is made up of:

• the unofficial academic transcript;
• Bocconi photo ID card;
• password

The unofficial academic transcript is a document that, once enrolment has been completed, contains the student's personal details and all the courses foreseen by the program structure. Subsequently the transcript is updated with the dates and marks of exams passed.
The updated transcript - with dates and marks of exams passed - can be printed at anytime from Punto Blu terminals by selecting the UA option as explained in the "Punto Blu, Virtual Punto Blu and Internet points" section in this chapter.
The unofficial academic transcript can be used as a memo but not as a certification. On this transcript teachers may write the marks and dates of exams passed.

The personalized Bocconi photo ID card is an essential non-transferable personal document used:
 

• as proof of identity in the University;
• to sit exams;
• to use IT rooms;
• to use Punto Blu terminals located in the University; see specific sections of this chapter;
• to use the cafeteria;
• to use the Library and to borrow books. 
  
  

If the photo ID card is lost or stolen you should immediately go to:

• the Teaching Services and Organization Desk, (University building, via Sarfatti 25) in order to stop the card from being used by third parties;
• the Library, in order to stop all book loans. Otherwise the original cardholder is obliged to replace any books borrowed.
  

If the magnetic strip of the Bocconi ID card no longer works, students can bring it back to the Teaching Services and Organization Desk in order to have it automatically re-magnetized free of charge.
Cards that no longer work for reasons other than worn magnetic strips can be replaced on presentation of the old card at the Teaching Services and Organization Desk; in this case a replacement fee is charged (for fees, consult the "Other costs" pdf file in the Download Area).

Once enrolled, students can use the same password as the one used to enroll online to access the services provided according to the timelines and procedures which are explained in specific paragraphs.
Students may personalize the password in order to have two different ones:

• the Virtual Punto Blu password (see paragraph 1.3) which is valid for:
  - activating the SMS service (see paragraph 1.6);
   
• the online services password, to:
  - access the yoU@B student diary (see paragraph 1.4);
  - access the Bocconi e-mail account (see paragraph 1.5);
  - access the WI-FI network (see paragraph 1.7.1);
  - access online learning activities (http://www.unibocconi.it/weblearning);
  - access the University network ( IT rooms and IT labs).
  

The online services password may be changed via:

• the yoU@B student diary;
• the Webmail program (http://www.unibocconi.it/webmail);
• login functions to access the University website from an IT room for students.
  

The Virtual Punto Blu password may be changed via:

• Punto Blu using the ID card; in this case the old password is not needed since the ID card identifies the student;
• Virtual Punto Blu; in this case the old password is required.
  

Therefore students who

• don't change the initial password or
• choose two identical passwords

use one password for all services.

For security reasons students are advised to have two passwords and to change them on a regular basis.

• may choose a new one via Punto Blu using their ID card;
• may go to the Teaching Services and Organization Desk (ground floor of University building in via Sarfatti 25).

Password requests can also be made via email to: comunicazioni.didattica@unibocconi.it. The password will only be sent to the student's Bocconi email address.
