COMPULSORY COURSES - ALLOCATIONS
Important notice for all merit - based course allocations 
You are required to express all your course preferences (for both 1st and 2nd semester courses) within the following deadlines (also illustrated in the academic calendar) by means of the procedure for the definition of Personal study plan/Annual personal study plan:     
  • From 2nd August 2021 to 19th September 2021 (merit-based course allocations);
If you do not respect the above deadline, you will have the possibility to indicate the order of preference, among the courses that still have some places available, in a second phase - period to be defined.  The second phase will be activated only if there are at least two courses/atelier with available places. Otherwise, course allocations will be automatic.

In order to rank your courses in order of preference, when required, make sure you include the course title and generic code of each course  when you fill in your Annual Personal Study Plan. You can find the course titles and codes on the Teaching Portal: Course catalogue – Bachelor’s degree programmes – Architecture -  Course programme (curriculum) of each type of course that you want to attend. To express your course preferences, log into your personal page of the Teaching Portal, go to “Segreteria online”/"On line services", choose the box “Fill in your PSP/APSP” and click on “View more”.  

After the deadline for course selection, Politecnico counts how many students have chosen each generic code. This number is equally distributed so that places in each course of the same kind are offered  to students on the basis of their preferences and position on the ranking list. If several students have chosen the same course and they have the same position on the ranking list but the number of available seats is less than required, places in the course will be offered taking into account the number of exams passed with honors by each student, and (subsequently) by random computerized drawing.     
The score of the merit ranking list is calculated as follows:

(GR1 * CFU1) + (GR2 * CFU2) + (GRn * CFUn) + (overall weighted average grade* CFU of ungraded exams)
_______________________________________________________________________________
number of semesters from student’s first enrolment in the university system    
Please note: In case of internal transfer or transfers in, the semesters of registration at the University of origin will be counted.

  • For allocations of 1st semester courses merit is calculated taking into account the exams taken by each student within the July 2021 examination session;
  • For allocations of 2nd semester courses merit is calculated taking into account the exams taken by each student within the September 2021 examination session.
Outgoing mobility students must not express any preferences regarding courses offred by Politecnico during the semester/semesters they will spend abroad.
Please note that it is not possible to modify merit-based allocations of courses/atelier.

3rd YEAR
The assignment of students to:
- Architectural design theory
- History of architecture and cities lab will take place according to a criterion of merit on the basis of an order of preference expressed by each student during the definition phase of the PSP/APSP. 
The "Architectural design theory" laboratory will guide the assignment and therefore it will be necessary to indicate the order of preference of this single laboratory. 
The assignment to the "History of architecture and cities lab" will be a consequence of the assignment to the "Architectural design theory" laboratory. 
Therefore, the students assigned to the "History of architecture and cities lab A"they will be assigned to the "History of architecture and cities lab A" laboratory. 
Students assigned to the "History of architecture and cities lab B" will be assigned to the "History of architecture and cities lab B" laboratory.  
Interdisciplinary Atelier
The assignment of students will take place according to a merit criterion based on an order of preference expressed by each student in the phase of defining the PSP/APSP. 
Choice of courses of related or supplementary disciplines
Students will be assigned according to a criterion of merit based on an order of preference expressed by each student in the phase of definition of the PSP/APSP.
Students who advance some Master's degree programmes courses
Bachelor's students who advance some courses belonging to their future Master's degree programme may, within the time frame of definition of the Annual personal study plan, express only the preferences for the courses offered in the 1st semester - 1st year of their Master's degree programme course. Allocations will be based on merit.
The merit ranking list for students who have not yet enrolled in a Master's Degree programme is calculated as follows:                     
(GR1 * CFU1) + (GR2 * CFU2) + (GRn * CFUn) + (overall weighted average grade* CFU of ungraded exams)

Time frame for indicating the order of preference
You must express your course preferences from 2nd Agust to 19th September 2021 (merit-based course allocations).
If for any reason you do not express your course preferences during the specified time frame, you will have the possibility to specify your order of preference among the courses that have residual places in a second phase (time frame to be defined).
The second phase will be activated only if there are at least two courses/atelier with available places. Otherwise, course allocations will be automatic.
If you have advanced some Master’s degree programme courses, you can make you can express the order of preference for your second-semester courses during a time frame to be defined if you have attained your Bachelor's degree and after you enrol  in your Master’s degree programme course and define your Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan. 
We remind you that you can choose only from the courses which have residual seats. 
The attribution will take into account the order of preference, expressed by each student in the definition of the Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan, and of the merit ranking list.
The merit ranking, for students who have proceeded with enrolment in the Master's Degree programme course, is calculated as follows:
(total weighted average Three-year degree * 180) + [(GR1 * CFU1) + (GR2 * CFU2) + (GRn * CFUn)] __________________________________________________________________________________________           
 6 + number of semesters of enrollment in the Master's degree programme course
