Students enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree programme incur into automatic
forfeiture in the following cases:
a) if
they fail to pass, within two years, first-year compulsory exams, which
are required for access to second-year courses. In this case they are
considered to have forfeited and cannot continue their studies in the same
academic career. If they intend to resume their studies and enrol in a Bachelor’s degree programme, they must sit and pass the admission test,
and conveniently place themselves in the admission merit ranking list.
b) if they fail to pass any exam for three consecutive years, or they do not complete
all the exams (excluding the Final Examination) in six years. In this
case they are considered to have forfeited and cannot continue their studies
in the same academic career. Forfeited students are allowed to
enrol again in the same Bachelor’s degree programme (if this is still
active) without having to sit the admission test.
The years of part-time enrolment count as 0.5 / year.
An instance to the Rector for deferment of the
terms of forfeiture is permitted in the event of serious and certifiable
reasons.
When forfeited students begin a new career,
they may ask for the recognition of the credits earned during the forfeited
degree programme.
The forfeiture rules provided for by article
12 of the
Student Regulations are applicable to
students enrolled at Politecnico starting from the 2016/2017 academic
year.
These forfeiture rules are also applicable
to
students enrolled at Politecnico
before the 2016/2017 a.y., but in this case the number of years of
enrolment is calculated starting from the 2016/2017 a.y., instead of the actual
enrolment date.
