Forfeiture
As a Bachelor’s student, you incur in forfeiture (art.15 of the Student Regulations) in the following cases:
a. if you do not pass your first-year compulsory exams (required for admission to your second year of study) in two years. In this case, you are considered a forfeited student and cannot continue your studies in the same academic path. If you want to resume your studies at Politecnico you must sit and pass the admission test and conveniently place yourself on the ranking list;
b. if you do not pass any exam for three consecutive years, or if you do not pass all the exams (excluding the Final Examination) in six years. In this case, you are considered a forfeited student and cannot continue your studies in the same academic path. After forfeiture, you can enrol in the same Bachelor’s degree programme (if still offered) only if you have passed again the admission test. You have to enrol to the admission test within the understated deadlines.
A year of part-time enrolment counts as 0.5 / year.
Each year of non-enrolment counts as 1 year.
When you forfeit and enrol again in a Bachelor’s degree programme as first-year student, you can request the recognition of the credits earned during the Bachelor’s degree programme from which you have forfeited.
The rules on forfeiture provided for by article 15 of the Student Regulations are applicable to the students who first enrolled at Politecnico starting from a.y. 2016/2017.
The rules on forfeiture also apply to the students who first enrolled at Politecnico before a.y. 2016/2017, but in this case the number of years of enrolment is calculated starting from a.y. 2016/2017 a.y., instead of taking into account the actual date of first enrolment.
An appeal to the Rector for deferment of the terms of forfeiture is permitted in the event of serious and certifiable reasons.
The admission test is compulsory in order to enrol after forfeiturefrom studies.
The registration deadlines for the admission test are the following:

Even if you do this operation, you are allowed to take your pending exams in September (provided that you were regularly enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2018/19);
- after confirming your enrolment, Politecnico evaluates your previous academic records in order to verify if you can get the recognition of your previously earned credits;

IMPORTANT: wait until all the exams you took in September are recorded in your transcript before you accept or reject the credit recognition. This decision can be postponed until you enrol. You will not be able to modify your choice (acceptance/refusal) after you enrol; - after your forfeiture has been confirmed (Academic progress status: FORFEITED, displayed on your personal page of the Teaching portal below your picture), you can complete your online enrolment from your Apply@polito personal page - Evaluations section. The deadline is 30th October 2019;
- upon conclusion of this operation, you will be assigned a student number and an appointment with the staff of the Office of Student Services to check your documents and collect your new Smart Card (the date of the appointment can be modified);
- create your Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan for a.y. 2019/2020 within 10 days of the date of enrolment. Log in to your personal page of the Teaching Portal – Online services tab – Create your Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan portlet.
