COMPULSORY COURSES - ALLOCATIONS

Allocations of compulsory courses for Master's students
When you create your APSP/PSP, you can choose to attend your Master's degree programme entirely taught in English or with classes both in English and Italian from 10:00 a.m. of 22nd of January 2025 to 11:59 p.m. of 27th of January 2025.
Your Personal Study Plan includes: 1) courses that you can  select by yourself until all places in the course are full; and 2) courses that will be assigned to students based on merit and on the order of preference expressed during the creation of the Annual Personal Study Plan.  
If you enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2023/24 or before: the deadline to create your PSP and rank your courses in order of preference is 13th September 2024.
If you enrolled at Politecnico in a.y. 2024/25 for the first time, we suggest you create your PSP and rank your courses in order of preference by 23rd September 2024. After this date, the Student Careers Unit will assign the courses to students.
ELECTIVE COURSES
You are free to include any first-year course (except for the introductory seminars from Table A and Table B) in your APSP until all places in the course are full. If the course that you have selected is available, the system will let you add it to your APSP. If there are no more places available in the course, the system will display a message ("no places available) after you save your APSP. In this case, you must open you APSP again and choose another course from the list.
Please make sure that you have actually included the selected course into your APSP. You must drag and drop the course from the box "PSP courses that can be added to your APSP" to the "APSP" box. Then save your APSP.
Considering that first-semester classes begin on 23 September 2024, we suggest you complete your APSP before this date.

How to rank your courses in order of preference
First of all, you must make sure that you have included the generic course in your APSP.
Log into your personal page of the Teaching Portal, go to “Segreteria online”/"On line services" TAB , choose the “Fill in your PSP/APSP” portlet. After confirming your APSP, you will be automatically redirected to a new page where you will be able to rank your courses in order of preference using the arrows (drag and drop) as shown in Picture 1.
We remind you that the order of preference will be accepted by the system after you click the "Proceed" button.

You can modify the order of preference until the closing date for the creation of the APSP/PSP.
Allocations will take place in the following order:
  • Allocations to students attending the English-taught programme
  • Allocations to students attending the blended programme (English/Italian)
Calculation of the merit score 
The score of the merit ranking list is calculated as follows:

Students enrolled in a Master's degree programme 
(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
6 is the number of semesters required to attain the Bachelor's degree.
The number of semesters is intended as the number from the student’s first enrolment in the Master's degree programme. The calculation only takes into account the exams accepted and validated by Politecnico.
For allocations of first semester courses: merit is calculated taking into account the exams taken by each student by the end of the July 2024 examination session.
For allocations of second semester courses: merit is calculated taking into account the exams taken by each student by the end of the September 2024 examination session.
If several students 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.
 If you do not express your order of preference by the above-mentioned deadlines,  you will be automatically assigned to the courses with residual places.
If necessary, the Student Careers Unit - Architecture may open a new time frame to rank the courses in order of preference (on top of the standad period), provided that there are at least two courses wih available places.
Allocations cannot be changed under any circumstances.
