Preparing the 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.

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.

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

For the academic year 2024/25, the study plan can be presented during the following periods:

• From 16 September 2024 to 11 November 2024
• From 13 January 2025 to 10 March 2025

Students submitting their study plan within 11 November 2024 will be able to modify it for the 2024/25 academic year during the subsequent period of presentation (January-March 2025).

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

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

ATTENTION: students intending to graduate within the academic year 2023/24 (=within the graduation session of March 2025), cannot submit the study plan and modify the teachings which had been selected before. 

Students who proceed with the payment of the first enrollment rate for the subsequent academic year and modify their study plan will not be able to submit their graduation request for November 2024 and March 2025.

Attention: students enrolled on academic years subsequent to the first one, who have the intention to replace a teaching belonging to years that precede the year they are enrolled on, CANNOT attend the new exam, nor register its mark, until the end of the lessons of the current year.

Online study plan

To complete and submit their study plan, students need to enter their username/password on the Studenti Online platform. The service is active only during the above mentioned periods, foreseen for the completion of the study plan. 

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

It is recommended to always print a paper copy of the study plan. In fact, the paper copy represents the only instrument of control in case of formal or substantial irregularities which could occur to the study plan once it has been uploaded on
Almaesami. 

Paper study plan

Students enrolled on a 2^nd cycle degree for a 2^nd time ("seconda laurea") must complete and submit the study plan exclusively in paper form. The Paper study plan forms will be available upon request at the degree programme office: cdlm.fashion@unibo.it.

Students having transferred to FAST from another degree programme or from another University and having asked for and obtained the recognition of credits can fill the study plan online.

How to fill in the paper study plan:

Students need to fill in the study plan corresponding to the year on which they are enrolled (1^st or 2^nd, or as repeating student) indicating an "X" next to the title of the didactic activity they wish to choose. In case of elective learning activities, they must write down the details of the learning activity chosen.

Students intending to replace exams foreseen for the previous academic years, must indicate an "S" next to the title of the didactic activity they wish to replace and an "X" next to the didactic activity they wish to add in the new study plan.

Complete the paper study plan by indicating your enrollment number ("numero di matricola"), surname, name, date, cell phone number, e-mail address, and sign it.

Students having already submitted their study plan for the current academic year but wishing to indicate new substitutions, need to write "modifica/modification" at the top of the paper study plan.

If you are enrolled in the 2^nd year of Fashion Studies you can add, in the section named "Eligible Courses among Unibo Teachings", any learning activities available at the University of Bologna, including optional teachings of FAST not already added in the study plan.

In that section it is necessary to choose learning activities for a minimum of 12 CFUs. The number of credits of each activity chosen is not relevant, provided that the threshold of 12 credits is reached. On the contrary, you can exceed the limit of 12 CFUs.

If you opt for learning activities belonging to degree programmes with restricted access, the possibility to add the activities is subject to the approval of those degree programmes.

If you opt for learning activities of Fashion Studies that you have not included in your study plan yet, remember that:

• You can add activities from the 2 curricula of Fashion Studies code 9067 that you have not chosen;
• You can add the optional teachings of the 1^st year of Fashion Studies code 9067 that you have not chosen last year; 
• You can add the available teachings of Fashion Studies code 6059 that do not correspond to any other teachings that are already in your study plan. Verify in the attachment the correspondences between the teachings of the code 6059 and the ones of the code 9067.
• The Internship cannot be chosen in the Eligible Courses group.

It is possible to participate in an exam only if the corresponding didactic activity has been inserted in the study plan and the lesson period has been concluded. This is why it is always necessary to make sure that your study plan has been correctly filled in, that has been correctly saved, and that is visible on the AlmaEsami platform. It is very useful to print your study plan or to save a copy in PDF.

Furthermore, to attend an exam the lesson period of the corresponding didactic activity must be ended. For further information, consult the didactic calendar and the lesson timetable of your degree programme.

If you follow the regular set of exams foreseen for your degree programme, there is no need for assessment and your plan is approved automatically and input to your career file. 

In case of specific requirements (e.g. credit recognition or study plan delay request), approval or otherwise will be decided by the Degree Programme's Board.
