Preparing the study plan

WHAT IS THE STUDY PLAN?

The Study Plan is the complete set of examinations that you must pass in order to graduate. Some courses are compulsory, while others may be chosen by the student.

You may submit your Study Plan provided that you are duly enrolled, have paid all required tuition fees, and, in the case of international students, hold a valid residence permit.

STUDY PLAN SUBMISSION PERIODS

You may submit or amend your Study Plan during the following periods of the Academic Year 2026/27:

• First submission period: from 1 October to 7 November 2026
• Second submission period: from 12 January to 19 February 2027

After these deadlines, the last submitted Study Plan will be considered definitive, and no further amendments will be allowed. No exceptions to these deadlines will be granted.

PLEASE NOTE

• If you do not submit your Study Plan by the deadlines indicated above, you will have to wait until the Study Plan submission period opens in the following academic year, renew your enrolment, and pay the corresponding tuition fees. Consequently, the earliest graduation session you will be eligible for will be the July graduation session.
• Students enrolled in the third year of the Academic Year 2025/26 and students with repeating (out-of-course) status may amend their Study Plan only if they complete their enrolment for the Academic Year 2026/27 and pay the relevant tuition fees. If you choose this option, please note that you will not be eligible to graduate in the March 2027 graduation session (the final session of Academic Year 2024/25). Therefore, you will only be able to graduate starting from the July 2027 graduation session, which is the first graduation session of Academic Year 2026/27.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR STUDY PLAN

You can submit your Study Plan through the Studenti Online (Student Online Services) portal, by logging in with your University credentials, if you are an enrolled student who needs to:

• complete the Study Plan by selecting elective courses;
• modify choices made in previous academic years.

You may also select educational activities offered by the University, subject to approval by the Coordinator of your Degree Programme (see the guidelines included among the attachments). Please note that you may not select educational activities from degree programmes with restricted admission. Furthermore, if you are enrolled in a Bachelor's Degree Programme, you may not choose educational activities offered within Master's Degree Programmes or Single-Cycle Degree Programmes.

Once you have completed your selections, remember to click “Save” so that your Study Plan is correctly submitted. The completed Study Plan will be available for viewing immediately after the online submission process.

You are also strongly advised to print and keep a copy of the submitted Study Plan. This copy represents the only means of verification in the event of formal or substantive irregularities that may arise after submission.

You may submit a paper Study Plan only if you are unable to complete the online procedure or if you intend to choose courses offered within degree programmes with restricted admission, using the form attached to this notice.

The form must be completed in all its parts and sent from your institutional University email address to didatticascaravilli.im@unibo.it (the form must be attached in .pdf format). The subject line must include your first name, surname, student ID number, and degree programme.

APPROVAL OF THE STUDY PLAN

If you select elective courses from among those already approved and defined by your Degree Programme, no additional assessment is required, and the Study Plan will be automatically approved and recorded in your academic career.

If, instead, you choose an educational activity offered by the University outside the predefined options, you must wait for approval by the Coordinator of your Degree Programme, who may either approve or reject your request.

STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY PROGRAMMES

Students participating in international mobility programmes must submit their online Study Plan within the standard deadlines for any educational activities whose examinations are expected to be taken in Bologna, regardless of the completion of the Learning Agreement.
