PLEASE NOTE: On StudentiOnline it is not possible to select courses that belong to degree programmes with restricted access outside of the Engineering-Architecture field. In order to select this type of electives, students should submit a specific form to the Student Administration Office as explained below (point 2).

After the submission of the study plan, check if your request has been correctly saved.
