Rules
  • STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A DEGREE PROGRAMME OF THE SYSTEM (ORDINAMENTO) "DM 270/2004"
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 take and pass the admission test again and be on the ranking list in a suitable position for admission;
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 academic years. In this case, you are considered a forfeited student and cannot continue your studies on 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.  
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 first enrolment.
  • STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A DEGREE PROGRAMME OF THE SYSTEM (ORDINAMENTO) "DM 509/1999"
As a Bachelor’s student enrolled in a degree programme belonging to the system (ordinamento) of DM 509/1999 , you incur forfeiture (art.15 of the Student Regulations) if you do not pass all the exams (excluding the Final Examination) in six academic years.This rule on forfeiture is applied in a.y. 2023/24; for this reason, if you do not pass all your exams (excluding the Final Examination/Thesis) by the end of the September 2023 examination session, you will be considered as a forfeited student starting from 1/10/2023. After forfeiture, you can enrol in an equivalent Bachelor’s degree programme without taking the admission test again.  Please check this table to verify the equivalences among programmes. If you wish to enrol in a non-equivalent deegree programme, you will have to take and pass the admission test again.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
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-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.
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.
An appeal to the Rector for deferment of the terms of forfeiture is permitted in the event of serious and certifiable reasons.
We remind you that you should always check the language requirements for admission.
