Credits for exams taken during the Double Degree Program are generally not automatic and are subject to the following procedure.

Prior to departure, students seeking credit must subscribe an integrated study plan approved by the Master of Science Program Director.

As soon as students returns from the period abroad they must start the credit approval procedure by contacting the Markets and External Affairs Division - Global Alliances which receives the academic transcript from the host university abroad.  Based on this document and the student's request, (to be forwarded through the 'Academic Recognition'box in the yoU@B student Diary), the "Summarized Credit Approval Report" and "Individual Exam Report" will be prepared (issued only if the course is not included in the list of automatically recognised courses - see https://www.ir.unibocconi.eu/ in the Restriscted Area). These will be used for exam conversion. Students must forward via email the written authorization by the Program Director or his/her delegate to the Global Alliances Office.

Students must go to the Master of Science Program Director with the "Summarized Credit Approval Report" and "Individual Exam Report" in order to have the exam mark recorded. Exam registration via 'Exam dates' menù.

The Master of Science Program Director (or his/her delegate) will send the "Individual Exam Report" to the  Study Planning Office.

Once this process has been completed students  hand in  the "Summarized Credit Approval Report" to the Markets and External Affairs Division - Global Alliances.

In case of exams taken at other universities , Bocconi students are assigned the mark awarded by the university where the exam was originally taken. If the original marks are expressed in different numerical scales or in letters, they are converted to marks out of thirty on the basis of the specific conversion table. Two or more exam taken abroad can be recognized together to cover a Bocconi exam upon approval of the Course Director of the Bocconi course. An exam taken abroad cannot be used to cover two or more Bocconi exams.

Students can also recognize additional exams. For further information check the paragraph 9.2.9 Additional exam).

If the courses recognized at Bocconi are different than the ones included in the study plan or they are without Bocconi correspondence (even if they are considered as automatically recognized ) students must request the change of their study plan to the Study Planning Office through the procedure activated on the yoU@B Diary.
