Guides to the university

Students who decide to attend the last year of studies at Bocconi University must renew enrollment in the 2022-2023 academic year from 27 July to 26 August 2022 by accessing 'Renew Enrollment in 2022-23 a.y.' from the left-side menu of the yoU@B Student Diary.

The enrollment procedures are as follows:

Enrollment in the academic year via the appropriate procedure is completed once the first installment of the tuition and fees has been paid and recorded in the student's academic career. If the first installment is not paid students will not be able to carry out any administrative or learning activities or make use of any other services.
Students who do not enroll by 26 August 2022, for whatever reason, can enroll during the 27 August - 31 December 2022 (*) period, upon payment of a late-enrollment fee (for detailed information check the website at www.unibocconi.eu/fees.
(*) Since 31 December 2022 is a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next working day (3 January 2023).

Students can change the second language using Punto Blu, which can be accessed through the yoU@B student Diary, in the Administrative Area (Language choice/change) in the period 29 July - 15 September 2022 and between 10-23 January 2023.

From 16 January to 15 February 2023 students enrolled in the third year of the WBB must choose, by filling out the appropriate form, the University where they intend to attend the fourth year from among:

• Bocconi University (Milan);
   
• University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business (Los Angeles);
   
• Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong).

Upon enrollment in the fourth year of studies (27 July - 26 August 2022), from the left-hand menu of the yoU@B Student Diary Renewing Enrollment in the 2022-23 Academic Year, students must choose one of the proposed tracks:
 

• Strategy and Entrepreneurship
• Technology and Operations Management
• Marketing
• Accounting and Finance
• Public Management and Policy
• Economics

or the free-track (choice from among all elective courses on offer).

Students must choose the elective courses of the first and second semester in the relating lists (the lists of courses included in the tracks is specified in the chapter Program Structure).

Before choosing the elective courses, students are advised to view the list of the courses available, the course profiles, class timetables and the incompatible table.

From 10 to 23 January 2023 via yoU@B > Punto Blu students can change elective courses of the first and second semester included in the study plan with other courses included in the chosen track, as long as they are taught in the second semester of the current academic year.

Additional courses are those whose credit points provide more than the 180 credit points needed to fulfil the Italian degree requirements. WBB students who choose to spend the fourth year of studies at Bocconi University can include a maximum of three additional activities in their study plan, provided that they have passed all course exams of the first two and a half years (only academic activities having an equivalent in the Bocconi study plan will be taken into account).
Additional activities can be selected from among foreign languages and elective courses; students can also have one internship as an additional activity.

To calculate the grade point average, only two additional exams may be considered (those for which students received the highest marks; if grades achieved are the same, the courses with the highest number of credit points are considered).

The choice of additional activities (courses and/or internship) is carried out starting from the fourth year of studies by sending a request via  B in Touch between from 27 July to 26 August  2022 (for first-semester courses) and from 10 to 23 January 2023 (for second-semester courses).
Please note that:

• Allocation of additional courses depends on places available. In addition:
• If available, additional are included in the study plan only upon making the allocation or change of the curricular elective courses (i.e. after 26 August 2022 for the first semester courses, and after 23 January 2023 for the second semester courses but in both cases before the start of lessons).

Additional courses may be removed by sending a request via B in Touch. It is not possible to remove an activity from the study plan which has been passed and recorded.

During the academic year, students who are carrying out military service or civil service duties, female students in the year of birth of each child and students who are forced to interrupt studies because of serious illness and certified prolonged medical conditions can apply to temporarily interrupt their studies in accordance with Italian DPCM 09/04/2001.
Temporary interruption of studies means that students will not be able to complete any administrative operations, participate in educational activities or make use of any university services.

For each year of temporary interruption students are required to pay a fixed sum set by the Fees Founding and Housing Office.
