Preparing the study plan

Information on how to prepare and present a study plan

WHAT IS A STUDY PLAN?

The study plan is the complete set of exams that you need to sit in order to graduate. Some exams are compulsory, while others are elective.

WHO CAN PRESENT A STUDY PLAN?

A study plan can be presented by properly enrolled students who have paid their tuition fees and, in case of international students, who hold a valid residence permit.

WHEN TO PRESENT YOUR STUDY PLAN

You can present and amend your study plan in two periods during the academic year. 

The open windows for A.Y. 2024/2025 are:

First period: from 6th September 2024 to 15th November 2024
Second period: from 13th December 2024 to 14th February 2025

The previous dates are addressed also to students enrolled in other Degree Programmes.

Following expiry of the deadlines, the last study plan presented will be deemed valid and no further amendments may be made.

If you choose some subjects that belong to Restricted-Access Degree Programmes as electives, these should be approved by the relative Degree Programme Board.

HOW TO PRESENT YOUR STUDY PLAN

Studenti Online

The study plan can be presented via Studenti Online by enrolled students who, accessing the website using their University usernames and passwords:
- need to add optional subjects to their plan, choose final examination/internship options;
- need to choose a curriculum;
- need to amend choices made in prior years.

According to the Course Structure Diagram of your Degree Programme you will also need to choose:

- the options related to the final examination;

- elective courses and activities.

N.B.: You can take an exam only if the subject was chosen and inserted in your study plan at the end of the cycle in which classes were held.

Students enrolled in 2023/2024 can change their study plans in 2024/2025 only if they renew their enrolment in 2024/2025 and pay the related fees. If you enroll in 2024/2025 you cannot graduate in 2023/2024 sessions, but you must graduate in 2024/2025 sessions (i.e. from June-July 2025).

Internship for final examination

Internship for final examination must be entered in the study plan online during the set time frames; if the decision to add/modify the internship activity is made when the online study plan submission is not available, it is possible to enter it at any time of the academic year by sending an email to farbiomot.tirocinio@unibo.it. In the text of the email it is necessary to indicate the code and the full name of the internship to add and activities possibly to delete (if there is a change). The Internship Office verifies the request and, if there are not inconsistencies with the course structure diagram of the degree programme, updates the career in accordance with the Student Admission Office. 

After making the desired choices, remember to click on “save” so that your study plan can be presented correctly.

It is also advisable to print a copy of your completed study plan. This copy is in fact the only way to check for formal or substantive errors that might arise after uploading your study plan.

Hard-copy forms

Students who have been “fuori corso” (past envisaged completion time for the degree course) for two or more years in cannot use the Studenti Online system and must use the hard-copy forms.
All parts of the form must be completed correctly, signed and sent via e-mail (using your institutional e-mail address name.surname@studio.unibo.it) to: Segreteria Studenti Farmacia, Biotecnologie e Scienze Motorie, segfarbiomot@unibo.it.

If you are interested in choosing some subjects that do not belong to your Degree Programme, firstly you need to be sure that this is possible.

Afterwards, you need to fill in the form that you find in the box "Attachments" and send it in to the Segreteria Studenti di Farmacia, Biotecnologie e Scienze Motorie via e-mail (using your institutional e-mail address name.surname@studio.unibo.it) to segfarbiomot@unibo.it. You can choose either the Italian version of the form or the English one.

If you are interested in integrated courses you may only choose the entire integrated course, not just one of its components.

Your request will be processed within max 60 days, as ruled by the University "Regolamento dei procedimenti amministrativi".

APPROVAL OF YOUR STUDY PLAN

If you select elective subjects from among those offered by the degree programme, there is no need for assessment and your plan is approved automatically and input to your career file.

On the other hand, if you want to choose exams not specifically offered by your degree programme, approval or otherwise will be decided by the Degree Programme Board.
