Enrollment

For students coming from an Italian University, the transfer document "congedo" issued by the University of origin must be provided by 31 August. The transfer document ("congedo") is issued only after submitting the "domanda di trasferimento". The transfer document ("congedo") must be sent to Bocconi University directly by the university of origin by the deadline indicated, by certified email (PEC) to the address: admissionsoffice@unibocconi.legalmail.it

If a PEC address is not available, this should be reported to ufficioammissioni@unibocconi.it.
Please remember to check the deadlines for submitting the withdrawal document / ex-matriculation / domanda di trasferimento /  with the University of origin

By the enrollment deadline, transfer students who request credit recognition must access MyApplication and

1. complete the information in the section regarding the university of origin
   
   
2. Select the option “I would like to request recognition for exams taken/I will take at the university of origin by the deadline to upload my academic transcript within the Bocconi enrollment application (…)” in the “Exams to transfer” section. 
   
   
3. complete the information in the section where the exams of origin are indicated (with code, name, grade and date of possible taking) and the corresponding Bocconi exams towards which the recognition of credits is requested (with code and name). 
   Important: Courses with codes and names indicated incorrectly will not be taken into consideration.
   Please check the Guide to the University for details on course codes and syllabi (the Guide may be subject to small changes). 
   
   
4. Print the Transfer Student Form that will be available in the Print Area after the section is saved. Sign the form and upload it in the appropriate Upload area.
   
   
5. Upload the syllabi of the courses for which recognition is requested, naming each PDF file as follows:
   LAST NAME_CODE AND NAME OF ORIGINAL COURSE_ CODE AND NAME OF BOCCONI COURSE. 
   Applicants should upload one compressed file (ZIP) that includes all the PDF files of the course syllabi.
   Syllabi not uploaded by the enrollment deadline will not be taken into consideration.
   Syllabi must clearly state the name of the course and the academic year it was held and it must be official (i.e. they must include a stamp from the administrative office or relevant faculty member).
   Recognition may not be requested for courses with assessment expressed on a non-numerical scale (e.g. eligibility, certifications or exams assessed as “approved” or "pass/fail").
   
   

Credit recognition requests can be submitted only once and at the same time as the submission of the enrollment application and cannot be changed or updated at a later date. For this reason, all the exams for which recognition is requested must be indicated during the enrollment phase, including those that have not yet been taken.

The choice to request credit recognition cannot be revoked or changed after the enrollment application has been submitted.

Possible recognition of language certificates must be verified in advance with the Bocconi Language Center. In the event of a positive reply, the student must forward the Language Center’s response to the Admissions Office.

The Admissions Office will submit the syllabi uploaded to MyApplication to the faculty member in charge of recognition.

For each course, the result may be:

• FULL RECOGNITION: the exam is fully recognized and will added to the Bocconi study plan with the grade received at the university of origin.
  
  
• PARTIAL RECOGNITION: the exam is partially recognized. The unrecognized part of the exam must be completed during one of the exam sessions scheduled for that course, according to the methods indicated by the faculty member. The recognized part of the exam will contribute to the final grade using a weighted average.
  
  
• UNSUCCESSFUL RECOGNITION: the exam is not recognized and must be taken at Bocconi.
  
  

After receiving the feedback from the Bocconi faculty members and verifying that the exam has effectively been passed on the student’s final academic transcript, the Admissions Office will meet the student to present the credit recognition result (around late September/early October and only after the final academic transcript has been received).

Once the credit recognition result has been viewed, the student has 5 business days to decide whether to:

• Accept the recognition: all the exams recognized (both partially and fully) will be added to the Bocconi study plan (it will not be possible to choose among the exams and decide to not have some recorded in the study plan);
• NOT accept the recognition: by not accepting, the student automatically withdraws enrollment at Bocconi University and, at the same time, can submit a request for reimbursement of the advance payment of the first installment.
