As a Bachelor’s student, you incur 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 on 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;
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 1 year.
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 during the Bachelor’s degree programme from which you have forfeited.
The rules on forfeiture provided 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 the first enrolment.
An appeal to the Rector for deferment of the terms of forfeiture is permitted in the event of serious and certifiable reasons.
