Rules
  • STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A DEGREE PROGRAMME OF THE SYSTEM (ORDINAMENTO) "DM 270/2004"
As a Master’s student, you will incur automatic forfeiture if:
    • you do not pass any exam for two consecutive years, or
    • you do not pass all the exams (except for your thesis) in four years.
In these cases, you are considered a forfeited student and cannot continue your studies in the same academic path.  
After forfeiture, you are allowed to re-enrol in a Master’s degree programme of the Engineering area, if meeting the admission requirements.
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.
A year of full-time enrolment counts as 1 year.
A year of part-time enrolment counts as 0,5 year.
Each year of non-enrolment counts as 1 year. 
Academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21 do not count towards the total number of academic years for the purpose of forfeiture (this rule is valid only for students who were enrolled in aa. yy. 19/20 and 20/21). For students who were not enrolled in aa. yy. 19/20 and 20/2, these two years will be counted for the purpose of forfeiture.
A year of part-time enrolment counts as 0.5 / year.
Each year of non-enrollment counts as 1 year.
Academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21 do not count towards the total number of academic years for the purpose of forfeiture (this rule is valid only for students who were enrolled in aa. yy. 19/20 and 20/21). For students who were not enrolled in aa. yy. 19/20 and 20/21, these two years will be counted for the purpose of forfeiture.
You can request the recognition of the credits earned during the Master's degree programme from which you have forfeited. An appeal to the Rector for deferment of the terms of forfeiture is permitted in the event of serious and certifiable reasons.
