When  you choose a course from the general catalogue, you should pay attention to potential specific features illustrated in the footnote of the Curriculum.
You shall make your choice following the procedure for the definition of the Personal Study Plan- Annual Personal Study Plan, available on your personal page of the Teaching Portal.

OTHER LEARNING ACTIVITIES

You can request the recognition of the competencies that you have gained while undertaking some learning activities outside the university in substitution of the Free credits planned by your Curriculum. An external activity can be recognized even if it exceeds the total number of credits required for graduation, but within the limit of 10 extra credits. The external activity will be registered on a pass/fail basis (i.e. there will be no grade, it will simply be registered with a “pass”).

1-Competitive Sporting Activities (3 CFU)
Politecnico can recognize up to a maximum of 3 academic credits, only one time during the entire duration of your studies  (Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme).

If you achieve outstanding results in competitive sporting activities while you are studying at the university, you can ask for the recognition of this activity at any time of your academic career. The request shall be made through a specific procedure called ‘Approvazione attività esterne’/ Approval of external activities, available under the Segreteria on line section of your personal page.     As a general rule, the term “outstanding results in competitive sporting activities” refers to:
a)athletes called into the Italian national team of disciplines which have a federation approved by CONI and are recognized as Olympic sports.
b) absolute champions or champions of division in Italian championships, or medalists in European /World championships  in one of the disciplines that have a federation approved by CONI and are recognized as Olympic sports. 
c) athletes, couches or referees who have participated in top level national and international championships
d) students who have won the open competition for the Agon project promoted by CUS Torino

2-Student Team Activities
Politecnico can recognize 3,6, or 12 academic credits, only one time during the Bachelor’s degree programme and only one time during the Master’s degree programme.
If you are actively involved in a student team, you can ask for the recognition of this activity. The request shall be made through a specific procedure called ‘Approvazione attività esterne’/Approval of external activities, available under the Segreteria on line section of your personal page. The team leader will have to certify the nature of your collaboration and the amount of time that you have dedicated to it. On the basis of such information the Faculty member in charge of your Personal Study Plan (referente del piano carriera)  will decide whether to accept your request and how many credits you will be granted.
Further information on Student teams is available on: https://didattica.polito.it/team_studenteschi.html

3-Other Learning Activities Outside the University

Universities can recognize external activities and competences acquired outside the university, in compliance with the restrictions foreseen by law (Law No. 240/2010, Article 14). 
Politecnico can recognize 3,4,5,6,8,10 or 12 academic credits (ECTS) depending on the kind of activity. Politecnico can recognize more than one activity during the course of your studies.      
If you are going to participate or have participated in external learning activities (training courses, workshops, Summer or Winter Schools,…) which are relevant and coherent with your educational path, you can ask for the recognition of this activity. The request shall be made through a specific procedure called ‘Approvazione attività esterne’/ Approval of external activities, available under the Segreteria on line section of your personal page. You will have to upload the activity supporting documents  (agenda, contents and  duration).  The Programme Academic Coordinator  will decide whether to accept your request and how many credits you will be granted.
