Forfeiture
In its meeting of 30/05/2020, the Academic Senate resolved that the academic year 2019/2020 will NOT count towards the total number of years of enrolment for student forfeiture.*
Therefore,
forfeiture will not be appliedfor the academic year 2020/2021.
*Update of 24/03/2021 
On 23/03/2021 the Academic Senate resolved that also the academic year 2020/2021 will NOT count towards the total number of years of enrolment for student forfeiture.

The following rules remain in force.
Rules
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 in a new programme 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) without taking the admission test again.
 
A year of part-time enrolment counts as 0.5 / year.
Each year of non-enrollment counts as 1 year. 
When you forfeit and enrol again in a Bachelor’s degree programme as a first-year student, you can request the recognition of the credits earned before forfeiture.
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.
New enrolment
Students who have forfeited in previous academic years and want to enrol in a Bachelor's degree programme at Politecnico must check if they need to take the admission test, according to the above-mentioned rules on forfeiture.
