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:     
  • until 17th September 2023 (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 from 26th to 27th September. 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)

  • For allocations of 2nd semester:courses merit is calculated taking into account the exams taken by each student within the September 2023 examination session.

When you need to rank your courses in order of preference
You must express your course preferences from 20th July 2023 until  17th September 2023.
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 (3rd and 4th October 2023)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 courses, you can express the order of preference for your second-semester courses during a time frame to be defined (provided that 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 places. Allocations will take into account the order of preference (expressed by each student during the definition of Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan) and a merit ranking list.
The merit ranking for students who have enrolled 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.
