Preparing the study plan

Information on how to prepare and present a study plan.

1st year students need to submit their study plan in order to confirm the compulsory 1st year teachings and to choose among the available options.

2nd year students also need to submit their 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 the case of international students, who hold a valid residence permit.

WHEN TO PRESENT YOUR STUDY PLAN

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

The open windows for the a.y. 2025-2026 are:
- First period: from October 6th to November 28th, 2025
Second period: from  January 7th to April 10, 2026

Study plans submitted by November 28, 2025 can be changed during the period from January 7th to April 10th, 2026. After the deadline of April 10th, 2026, the last study plan submitted will be deemed valid and no further change will be possible.

Once the study plan has been filled in online, it is immediately available on the AlmaEsami platform.

An exam can be taken only if the course has been included in the study plan and after the end of the lessons.

Attention:  students intending to graduate within a.y. 2024-25 (= within the graduation session of March 2026), CANNOT submit a new study plan or change the study plan previously submitted.

Students who proceed with the payment of the first enrolment rate  for the subsequent academic year and change their study plan will not be able to present their graduation request for March 2026.

Attention Students enrolled in years following the first who have the intention to change a teaching referred to years preceding the year of their enrolment, CANNOT sit nor verbalize the modified exam until the end of the lessons of the current year.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR STUDY PLAN

Studenti Online

If you are a properly enrolled student you can present or change your study plan via Studenti Online only when the service is open. After making your choices, do not forget to click on “save” to complete the process. Also, we suggest to print a copy of the submitted study plan in order to check for formal or substantive errors that might arise after the upload.

STUDY PLAN AND EXAMS

An exam can be taken only if the course has been included in the study plan and after the end of the lessons. This is why it is always necessary to make sure that your study plan has been correctly filled in and saved and visible on the AlmaEsami platform. It is very useful to print your study plan or to save a copy in PDF.

For further information, consult the didactic calendar and the lesson timetable of your degree programme.
