Unfulfilled academic requirements and APSP update
You will not be able to update your APSP with second-year courses unless you earn the credits of your core subjects by the end of the Autumn examination session (September) of your first year, in accordance with the rules of your "coorte" (the academic year of your first enrolment).
Students who first-enrolled at PoliTo up to a.y. 2018/19 (coorte 2018/19 and previous)
First-year courses considered as core subjects are: 
  • Mathematical Analysis 1,
  • Chemistry,
  • Computer Science,
  • Physics 1,
  • Linear Algebra and Geometry
excluding the English Language exam and the optional course.
According to the Rectoral Decree n. 358 of April 24, 2020: due to Covid19 emergency, the minimum number of credits in core subjects required for the fulfilment of the threshold and the updating of the APSP with 2nd-year courses has been lowered from 28 to 18 credits.
Students who first-enrolled at PoliTo in a.y. 2019/20 (coorte 2019/20)
First-year courses considered as core subjects are:
  • Mathematical Analysis 1,
  • Chemistry,
  • Computer Science,
  • Physics 1,
  • Linear Algebra and Geometry
excluding the English Language exam and the optional course.
The minimum number of credits in core subjects necessary to insert courses of the second year is 28 credits.
Students who firstly-enrolled at PoliTo in a.y. 2020/21 (coorte 2020/21)
First-year courses considered as core subjects are:
  • Mathematical Analysis 1,
  • Chemistry,
  • Computer Science,
  • Physics 1,
  • Linear Algebra and Geometry
  • the specific course of the degree programme, introduced in the first year (6 or 8 credits);
excluding the English Language exam
The minimum number of credits in core subjects necessary to insert courses of the second year is 26 credits (including the specific course of the degree programme).
 Enrolment yearThreshold
 2018/2019 and previous18 CFU among core subjects (excluding the English Language exam)
 2019/202028 CFU among core subjects (excluding the English Language exam)
 2020/202126 CFU among core subjects (excluding the English Language exam)
When you create your new APSP in September, you must inlcude all your second-year courses (pay attention to the order in which you rank them). Your second-year courses will be considered as “overbooking courses” (marked in red) until you earn the required number of credits in your core subjects.
If you need to take an optional course from the Grandi Sfide catalogue (scheduled in the second semester of your second year), you must include the generic module in your APSP (even if it is marked as overbooking). This way you will be able to participate in the course allocations. 
If you manage to pass your core subjects by the end of the Winter examination session, your Annual Personal Study Plan will be automatically updated in accordance with the following rules: 
  • Mathematical Analysis 2 will be included in your APSP if you pass Mathematical Analysis 1. Students will be able to watch the video lessons;
  • Physics 2 will be included in your APSP if you pass Physic 1 and reach 40 credits globally. Students will be able to watch the video lessons.
  • courses with video lectures offered in the first semester of your second year;
  • courses offered in the second semester of your second year.
These courses will flow into your Annual Personal Study Plan following the same order in which you ranked them when you created your APSP and until they reach the maximum credit limit imposed by the workload you have chosen (part-time or full-time enrolment). 
Please note:
  • exams passed during the Winter examination session will not be removed from your APSP. Your APSP will only be updated with your second-year exams following the order in which you ranked them.
  • if you earn the required number of credits in your core subjects during the Summer examination session, your APS will not be updated with your second-year exams.
We suggest you carefully read the rules for the creation of the Annual Personal Study Plan available in the previous chapters of this Guide and the guidelines provided in the curriculum of your Bachelor's degree programme.
If you have a part-time workload, you can change your APSP from part-time to full-time by 11th March 2022.
 Updating your APSP for an Internal Transfer
Starting from a.y. 2021/22 students who wish to make an internal transfer will not be allowed to update their APSP. This is because internal transfers will be governed by a specific Call for applications and they will be allowed only if new places become available for year 2 (based on the numbers of students admitted in a.y. 2021/22).
