Information on how to prepare and present a study plan.
The study plan is the complete set of exams that you need to pass in order to get your degree. Some exams are compulsory, while others are elective.
A study plan can be submitted by properly enrolled students who have paid their tuition fees and, in case of international students, who hold a valid residence permit.
You can submit and amend your study plan in two distinct periods during the academic year.
The open windows for the a.y. 2026-27 are:
– from October 5th, 2026 to November 26th, 2026
– from January 11th, 2027 to April 9th, 2027
Study plans submitted by November 26th, 2026 can be changed during the period from January 11h to April 9th, 2027.
After the deadline of April 9th, 2027, the most recently submitted study plan will be considered valid and no further change may be made.
Once the study plan has been filled in online, it is immediately available on the AlmaEsami platform.
You may only sit an exam if the course has been included in your study plan and if the lectures have been completed.
Students intending to graduate within a.y. 2025-26 (= within the graduation session of March 2027), cannot submit a new study plan or change the study plan previously submitted.
Students who pay the first instalment of their tuition fees for the new academic year and change their study plan will not be able to present their graduation request for March 2027.
Attention: Studentes enrolled in years following the first who wish to change a teaching referred to years preceding their enrolment, will NOT be able to sit nor verbalize the modified exam until the end of the current academic year's lectures.
In the "Eligible courses among UniBo teachings" group, you may include:
The types of learning activities that can be included as free-choice are:
It is not possible to include laboratories or internships, unless they are already offered by your Degree Programme within the free-choice group at the time of completion of your study plan.
It is not possible to include separate modules which are part of integrated courses (C.I.).
When filling in the online study plan, the system will allow you to search for learning activities by entering the course code, title or the teacher's name.
To include, among your free-choice credits, course units offered by restricted-access Degree Programmes, you must follow this procedure:
o subject: "Richiesta inserimento attività da corso a numero chiuso"
o include the following information:
o include the Degree Programme Director's approval (attach a screenshot, including your original request to the Degree Programme Director).
If you are a properly enrolled student, you can submit or change your study plan via Studenti Online . The service is only available during periods when submissions are permitted.
If you are a student who has applied to switch or transfer courses, or who has enrolled on a Second-cycle Degree Programme with credit recognition from the 2017/18 academic year onwards, you must complete the study plan via Studenti Online.
After making your choices, click on “save” to complete the process. Also, we suggest to print a copy of the submitted study plan to check for formal or substantive errors that might arise after the upload.
You are required to present your study plan exclusively in hard-copy if:
You must hand-in the hard-copy to the Student Administration Office in Viale Filopanti 1 (entrance from Mura Anteo Zamboni 2/a) during the opening hours.
