Choice of Activities and Assignment

The following elements have priority in establishing the ranking:

In case of equal qualifications, the ranking priority will follow the chronological order of registration for the activities.

- are recorded in the academic career upon passing the final theory-based test (pass or fail);
- are not included in the calculation of the GPA;
- are not included for the purposes of Bocconi rankings for exchange programs (Exchange, CEMS);
