Results and Enrollment

Admitted applicants will receive a conditional offer, whose validity is confirmed only under the following conditions:

• submission of the enrollment application within the set deadlines
• fulfillment of the requirements stated in the admission result

Failure to satisfy even one of the above-mentioned conditions by the set deadlines will entail the revocation of the admission and, as a result, the cancellation of the enrollment.

POSSIBLE CHANGE OF THE BACHELOR PROGRAM OF ADMISSION

1. After Admission (during the enrollment period)

After receiving an admission result, it will be possible to request a change of program only once, towards one program and to a program indicated with a lower preference degree than the one you were initially admitted to or not previously indicated. For example, if admitted to the second choice, a change cannot be requested towards the first choice, but only towards the third or fourth choice, or towards a program that was not indicated in the admission application.

The request must be submitted once the admission outcome is known, by writing to admissionsoffice@unibocconi.it, in a timely manner to allow the office to evaluate it well in advance of the deadlines provided below. The deadline for submitting the request will in any case precede the enrollment deadline, to allow students to receive their change request result in time for enrollment.

Round of admission	Deadline for requesting a program change	Deadline for enrolling
Early Session	10 November 2023 at 3:00pm (CET)	15 November 2023 at 3:00pm (CET)
Winter Session	18 March 2024 at 3:00pm (CET)	21 March 2024 at 3:00pm (CET)
Spring Session	27 May 2024 at 3:00pm (CET)	Late May 2024

Once a change of program request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

The change of program will not be granted automatically but only after evaluation by the Admissions Office, considering a number of criteria such as the applicant's ranking score, the number of requests received, from and to which programs, etc.

2. After Enrollment

Only for those enrolled in the 2024/25 Early and Winter sessions, it will be possible, exceptionally, to submit a request for a change of program from 15 April to 15 May 2024, as indicated below:

1. Write to admissionsoffice@unibocconi.it well in advance before the deadline and, in any case, by 14 May 2024 at 3:00pm (CET) in order to receive via e-mail, the instructions to submit the request by the set deadline;
2. You will receive the instructions to submit the request by 15 May 2024 at 3:00pm (CET), through the enrollment procedure of your round of admission (Early or Winter), in My Application.
3. Results will be available during the last week of May. In case the request of change from a program in Italian to a program in English or vice versa is accepted, the relevant minimum English level requirement will change according to the course of destination.

The criteria are as follows:

• Transfer students with credit recognition cannot submit a request.
• Students admitted/enrolled in the Spring session cannot submit a request.
• A request may be submitted only once, it cannot be modified or canceled.
• A change can be requested towards a single program (no multiple requests are allowed) and to a program indicated with a lower preference degree than the one initially admitted or not previously indicated.
• If a request has already been submitted after admission (within the enrollment deadlines) and has been denied, the same request should not be resubmitted because the result would be the same.
  

Even in this phase, once a change of program request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

The change of program will not be granted automatically but only after evaluation by the Admissions Office, considering a number of criteria such as the applicant's ranking score, the number of requests received, from and to which programs, etc.

3. At the End of the First Year of the Bachelor Program

It will be possible to request a change of enrollment program at the end of the first year, according to procedures and timelines defined by the academic secretariat. For more information, have a look at the Guide to the University, in the Administrative rules, procedures and deadlines section.

Non-admission outcomes depend on a number of factors: performance on the selection test, GPA and study path, places available in the selection round for the programs chosen.
Non-admitted candidates can re-apply  for the following sessions by submitting a brand new online application via the My application portal within the set deadlines.

At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, in some selection rounds, it is possible to receive a Waiting List result. Applicants in "waiting list" result are in any case considered as NOT admitted.
Only in the event of a residual availability of places at the end of the enrollment period, the Admissions Office will get in contact with applicants in waiting list according to the admission ranking order.

The admission results are not available if:

1. The test score used for applying is missing or not valid;
