"Other Activities" designate the supplementary, complementary and mandatory integrative activities that allow students to accumulate the necessary credits in order to access their final assignment submission to obtain a Degree in Architettura/Architecture. Among these learning opportunities each student should select at least the equivalent to 12 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, designated as CFU (Crediti Formativi Universitari) in the Italian system. Students make their selection by defining the Study Plan and Course Workload.

__________________________________________________________________ COURSES PROVIDED BY OTHER UNIVERSITIES IN ITALY AND ABROAD Students have the opportunity to accumulate credits by adding to their Study Plan some courses that are not part of POLITO course catalogue, but are provided in bachelor degree programs at other universities or in different bachelor degree programmes. Students have the opportunity to chose either courses in Italian or in other languages. Students who are part of an international exchange programme of the Politecnico di Torino can add to their Study Plan courses of international universities, either they are provided in Italian or other languages. Such courses are registered as “Attività formative esterne all’ateneo” (Extra-POLITO Learning Activities). Students address the request to the Director of the Bachelor referee by email, forwarding the course brief in Italian or other languages in order to have the course assessed. The Director of the Bachelor may ask to provide a translation of the original documents in Italian or English if necessary. The Director of the Bachelor is entitled to validate the amount of ECTS credits to be acknowledged for a specific course if the course itself is consistent with the Bachelor learning objectives. Students should address the course supervisor to agree on course admission and workload. If the course accepts only a restricted number of students, it will be necessary to contact the local Student Office at the University that provides the course to find an agreement. After successfully passing the exam, students should upload the document that certifies the course's name, number of credits, name of the supervisor, evaluation mark and date of passing. The Director of the Bachelor will verify all details and provide the electronic registration of the additional credits to the students' course workload. In case the course are provided abroad, students should have it added to their Learning Agreement. In this case the registration is completed by the Erasmus referee. _________________________________________________________________ INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS Workshops are classified as “Attività formative esterne all’ateneo” (Extra-POLITO Learning Activities, for which 1 CFU/ECTS equals 25 hours of work). Workshops that require less than 75 hours of work cannot be counted as complementary learning opportunities. In order to complete the Study Plan, students should add the general code. Workshops that are organised by public and private institutions are eligible to be added to students' Study Plan if approved by the Director of the Bachelor. Students should obey the workshop's regulation concerning admission and attendance. After the workshop is completed, students have to upload on the web portal the certificate of attendance that indicates the amount of work hours. _________________________________________________________________ OTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES Students may add other learning activities that do not appear in the list above and are also classified as “Attività formative esterne all’ateneo” (Extra-POLITO Learning Activities), for which 1 CFU/ECTS equals 25 hours of work. The amount of credits that correspond to specific activities and can be added to students' Study Plan are assessed by the DPA referee. The activities described below should be added to the individual Study Plan only upon approval by the Director of the Bachelor: - Learning activities that provide Crediti Formativi Professionali (CFP, Credit System for Vocational Education and Training) can be transferred to the academic credit system only if a minimum of 3 ECTS credits (equal to 75 hours) consist of lessons. - Language courses are worth 3 ECTS credits, according to POLITO regulation, only if they entitle students to receive a certificate that is acknowledged by the Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo (CLA). - Training courses in computer-aided design (such as Autocad, Rhino, BIM, and the like) can be considered only if they provide a minimum of 75 hours of training and certify in the end the amount of hours that students attended. - Training courses organised by public and private institutions for graduate students and qualified holders of high-school diplomas are accepted only if the actual hours of work are certified; in no case courses with less than 75 hours of training will be considered. - Design competitions tailored on students participation are worth a maximum of 3 ECTS. - Series of conferences organised at the Politecnico di Torino that are supervised by one tutor, register students attendance and are complemented by an essay or report written by attendees under tutor's supervision, are worth of a maximum of 3 ECTS credits. Students should upload to polito portale their certificate of attendance or any certification of passed exams in original, with signatures and stamps by the organizations and supervisor(s) of the learning and training sessions. Upon verification, the Director of the Bachelor is entitled to update electronically the record of such activities in the students' course workload. Other activities not mentioned here should pass a preliminary assessment by the Director of the Bachelor Program.

... As general recommended rule the activities will be registered when the students will uploads a certificate validated by the private or public body and/or undersigned by the professor(s) in charge for the teaching activity.
