Procedure and deadlines
You need to create your Personal Study Plan (PSP) and Annual personal Study Plan (APSP) at the beginning of each new academic year. 
The online procedure is available on your personal page of the Teaching Portal - Online Services tab, portlet Create your Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan and Enrol in the new academic year. You must follow the steps and comply with the academic rules for incomplete courses, overbooking courses and pre-requisites. The procedure is guided. You can repeat it as many times as you wish until you get your final APSP. 
1) PERSONAL STUDY PLAN
In this step you can:
  • Choose a specialist pathway for your curriculum (if any)
You can choose or modify your specialist pathway during the timeframe for the creation of your PSP/APSP.
  • Create your Personal Study Plan (PSP)
Green courses: already passed 
Black courses: unpassed or not recorded in your transcript
Grey box: optional courses
Your Personal Study Plan must include all the courses that you are going to take before graduation: 180 credits for Bachelor’s degree programs / 120 credits for Master’s degree programs (this rule does not apply to special courses and projects).
You also need to include the courses belonging to next academic years and the optional courses (free choice credits), following the rules illustrated in the chapter Free Choice Credits.
The PSP overall number of credits includes the Final Project, the foreign language exam, and the internship (if any).
It does not include:
  • the credits of the courses that you are going to advance from your Master’s degree program;
  • the credits of the Italian language exam (for students with a non-Italian qualification who attend a degree program partially or entirely taught in English). 
You can add up to a maximum of 12 extra credits to your Personal Study Plan, thus exceeding the 180-credit threshold. As a general rule, extra credits cannot be removed from your PSP when you register for the Final Examination and they count towards the calculation of your final average grade. 
We rtemind you that you will be able to modify again your Personal Study Plan when you enrol in the next academic year.
We remind you that students who first enrolled at PoliTo in a.y. 2012/13 or before MUST NOT create their PERSONAL STUDY PLAN but only their ANNUAL PERSONAL STUDY PLAN.

 MORE INFORMATION
Can I change the standard Study Plan?
 
È possibile modificare il piano di studi inserendo esami appartenenti ad altri orientamenti e/o corsi di laurea.
Tale modifica verrà sottoposta alla valutazione e approvazione dal referente del piano di studi del corso di laurea.
Per modificare un esame:
- eliminare il modulo esame dal piano carriera utilizzando la X sulla destra;
- inserire il nuovo modulo utilizzando il box di ricerca in fondo alla pagina;
- indicare la motivazione per cui si intende apportare la modifica;
- procedere con l’invio della richiesta.
Il sistema invierà in automatico il piano di studi in approvazione al referente. Una volta effettuata la valutazione, lo studente riceverà una notifica tramite posta elettronica istituzionale e avrà a disposizione 10 giorni per ultimare piano carriera e carico didattico.
Do I need to pay a penalty fee to change my Personal Study Plan?
Se la modifica viene effettuata durante il periodo di compilazione piano carriera e carico didattico non verrà applicata alcuna maggiorazione. È previsto un ulteriore periodo (oltre la data di scadenza di definizione del piano carriera/carico didattico) nel quale è ancora possibile apportare la modifica; tuttavia lo studente incorrerà in una maggiorazione di € 50
Dettagli in merito sono disponibili sulla Guida alla contribuzione studentesca A.A. 19/20 (sezione Appendice).
My PSP was sent for approval right before the deadline. Do I have to pay a penalty fee?
No. Una volta ricevuta la notifica di valutazione, lo studente avrà comunque a disposizione 10 giorni per ultimare il piano carriera ed il carico didattico.
