1. ONLINE SUBMISSION

Students should submit their study plan online if they meet one of these requirements:

• Regularly enrolled and “in corso” (i.e. within the expected duration of their degree programme)
• Regularly enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree programme with “fuori corso” status for no more than 3 years
• Regularly enrolled in a Master’s degree programme with “fuori corso” status for no more than 2 years

• Regularly enrolled after transferring from another University (“trasferimento”) from a.y. 2019/20

Online submission is available via StudentiOnline, which can be accessed with institutional credentials.

The online study plan should be submitted in order to choose electives or change electives that were previously chosen, as well as select options related to the Preparation of the Final Examination.

Offshore Engineering students are asked to complete at least 12 cfu of free-choice elective courses.
StudentiOnline will allow students to select from 6 to 12 credits both in the first and the second year, with a minimum of 6 credits to be chosen each year. This means that students can select more than 12 credits if they are willing to do so (up to a maximum of 24), but still the condition to be met is to insert at least 6 elective credits in the first year and 6 in the second year.

ATTENTION: students who already ended classes (2nd year attendance in a.y. 2022/23 or before) and make changes in their study plan in one of the above-mentioned time frames, will be able to graduate only from the first session of a.y. 2023/24 (accordingly July 2024).

Approval of the study plan

Approval will be automatic, with no need for evaluation, if students select the electives suggested by the Degree programme board and listed in the course structure diagram.

If students select electives that are not recommended by ticking the options “Qualsiasi attività della Vice Presidenza della Scuola di Ingegneria e Architettura” (any course within the School of Engineering) or “Qualsiasi attività dell'Ateneo” (any course within the University), their study plan will undergo evaluation by the Degree programme board. The outcome of the evaluation will be visible on StudentiOnline.

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. 

Preparation for the final examination abroad

Students can select the activity Preparation for the final examination abroad (among type “E” activities), if this is included in their course structure diagram. This choice implies that thesis preparation abroad is performed during an Erasmus+ Study or Overseas mobility period or as part of a Thesis Abroad mobility funded by the Education Division or by a Department, or during a different kind of mobility authorised by the Degree programme board.

If the decision of carrying out research for thesis preparation abroad is made when online study plan submission is not available, students can nevertheless add the activity Preparation for the final examination abroad to their academic record by including it in their Learning Agreement (for Erasmus+ Study, Overseas or Thesis Abroad programmes) and sending an e-mail request to the International Mobility Office, copying the degree programme.

Internship for final examination

Students who wish to perform an Internship for preparation for the final examination / Internship abroad for preparation for the final examination (among type “E” activities) can add it to their study plan online during the set time frames. If the decision of performing an internship in preparation for the final examination is made when online study plan submission is not available, the activity can be added to the study plan by sending an email request to the Student Administration Office, copying the degree programme.

If the Internship abroad for preparation for the final examination is performed during an Erasmus+ Traineeship program, the activity will be added to the student’s academic record when included in the Learning Agreement for Traineeship

Transferable skills (Soft skills)

Students may include in their study plan transferable skills course units that have been identified as being consistent with their degree programme.

It is possible to include this learning activities within the elective credits (letter D), exclusively by filling in the study plan online.
