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;   

 

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.  

You may incur in forfeiture in a.y. 2019/20 in the following two cases: 

1) You didn’t your first-year compulsory exams in two years on 30^th September 2019 (see section Unfulfilled academic requirements): 

• you were enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2018/19: if you were regularly enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2018/19 you probably still do not know if you may incur in forfeiture or not, since you may have some pending exams which you are going to take during the September examination session. In this case, you must take the admission test in order to be sure that you can continue your studies at Politecnico. You can take your pending exams in September even if you registered for the admission test. If you pass your pending exams in September, you will not incur in forfeiture and you will be able to create your Personal Study Plan / Annual Personal Study Plan for a.y. 2019/20 with the standard procedure (first enrolment is not required).
• you were NOT enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2018/19: if you were not enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2018/19 you will surely incur in forfeiture. If you want to continue your studies at Politecnico, you must take the admission test. Upon first enrolment you can request the recognition of the credits earned during the Bachelor’s degree programme from which you have forfeited. Read the Calls for applications for admissions to PoliTo Bachelor’s degree programmes to learn more about the registration for the admission test and the deadlines (http://orienta.polito.it/it/bandi_di_selezione_19_20) 

 2) You did not pass any exam for three consecutive years on 30^th September 2019 

• you can enrol again in the same Bachelor’s degree programme as a first-year student (regardless of the fact that you were enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2018/19 or not) starting from 1^st October 2019 without taking the admission test. This is possible if you passed your first-year compulsory courses (required for admission to the second year of your degree programme). In this case, follow the procedure and deadlines illustrated below in the section Enrolment procedure without admission test
• if your Bachelor’s degree programme is no longer offered in the course catalogue of Politecnico or if you want to enrol in a new Bachelor’s degree programme as a first-year student, you must take the admission test. In this case, follow the procedure and deadlines illustrated below in the section Enrolment procedure with admission test.

You can request the recognition of the credits earned during the Bachelor’s degree programme from which you have forfeited.
