Guides to the university

Students enrolled in the first year of a Bachelor program are admitted to the second year only if they have earned at least 24 credit points by the July 2009 exam period.
Please take note that such credit points refer only to the first year study plan.

At the end of the July exam period, credit points needed  to move on to the second year are verified.

Students who have not earned 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.

Students regularly enrolled in the academic year as regular ("in corso") or repeating ("ripetente"):

• are allocated a class group for the lessons;
• are allowed to sit partial and general exams;
• are granted access to the various services offered by the University (Library, IT rooms, etc.);
• can obtain enrolment certifications for the academic year in which they are enrolled.

There are no restrictions for enrolment after the second year of studies.

Enrolment must be carried out during the 1 August - 8 September 2008 period via Punto Blu or Virtual Punto Blu.

The enrolment procedures are as follows:

• select the "Enrolment in Academic Year"option from the main menu at any Punto Blu terminal or Virtual Punto Blu;
• enter the requested enrolment data.
  
  

After selecting "Enrolment in the academic year", the system automatically allows:

• students to enrol in the "regular" second year of studies if they have earned 24 credit points by the July exam period;
• students to enrol as first year repeating students ("ripetente") if they HAVE NOT earned 24 credit points by the July exam period. If the student has obtained the recognition of an international certification, the credit points for the second year foreign language exam will not be calculated. (see "Foreign Languages and Computer Skills"):
• students enrolled in the second year of studies, enrollment in the third year, the choice of electives (when taught in both Italian and English , specify the language chosen) and the second foreign language; in addition, students enrolled in the Bachelor of International Economics and Management (BIEM) to choose the Major.
  

Once enrolment has been completed, students can print the following from Punto Blu:

• "Enrolment" and "official academic transcript" certifications;
• personalized class timetable;
• personalized exam timetable.
  
  

Enrolment in the academic year is completed once the first instalment of the university fees and tuition has been paid and recorded in the student's academic career. If the first instalment is not paid by 15 September 2008 students will not be able to carry out any administrative or learning activities or make use of any other services.

Students who do not enrol by 8 September 2008, for whatever reason, can enrol during the 15 September - 31 December 2008(*) period , upon payment of a late-enrolment fee (for detailed information check the website at www.unibocconi.it/fees.

After 31 December 2008 enrolment is only possible as repeating students, ("fuori corso intermedio") only if the Rector approves a written request for an extension of the enrolment deadline which must be submitted, and the payment of the penalty fees due made (for detailed information please check www.unibocconi.it/fees) , to the Teaching Services and Organization Desk.

(*) Since 31 December 2008 is a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next working day (7 January 2009).
