Rules
Students enrolled in the first year of a Bachelor program are admitted to the second year only if they have gained at least 24 credit points by the July 2008 exam period. At the end of the July exam period, credit points needed to move on to the second year are verified. Students who have not gained the minimum credit points required are unable to take part in the September exam period and must continue their studies by enrolling as repeating students ("ripetente") in the first year of studies. Enrolling as ripetente gives students the right to attend the lessons but does not give them access to exams before the end of the lessons for the semester in which the course is held.

If students request to change their program after completion of the first year of studies, they are admitted to the first year of the new program. If students request to change their Bachelor program after their second or third year of studies, the year of admission to the new program is determined by the Program Director, who will take the student's academic curriculum into account. To request a change of program, students must have previously enrolled in the original program for the upcoming academic year (in the first year of the program as a repeating student ("ripetente") or in years following the first). When changing from one Bachelor program to another, the following applies:
In addition, students are considered to have attended the lessons for courses taken in the years before the change included in the program structure of the new degree program. This means that students can register for the exams for these courses included in the program structure of the new degree program in the years before the change, starting from the first available exam session.

Numerical limits

If the number of applications is greater than the number of places, students will be selected according to a ranking list for each new Bachelor program based on merit, which is determined by the weighted average of exam marks and credit points received in comparison with those to be received. The ranking list will be determined by considering first-year program requirements and exams passed by July 2007. Last change 18/07/2007 15:24 |
