You can transfer/re-enrol/shorten a programme:
- by taking the Design Admission Test
If you have taken the Design Admission Test and your ranking allows you to enrol, you must follow the instructions for enrolment in the “When and how to Enrol” page and you must in any case access the Online Services, 'Lauree triennali e a ciclo unico: passaggi di corso e ammissione con carriera pregressa' section, and follow the procedure in the 'How to apply for evaluation' page.
Following this, the application process for an evaluation of your previous academic record will be initiated, which is essential for the recognition of examinations completed in your previous university career (the application procedure is mandatory, even for those who do not seek an evaluation).
Application submission: from 11 April until 19 July 2024.
Deadline for accepting/refusing evaluation: by 6 September 2024 by returning to the application.
For more information on the procedures and documentation, see the 'Guida ai passaggi e trasferimenti 2024/25'.
You can apply for an evaluation of your previous academic record if:
- you are a student at another university and wish to transfer to a Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme at our University;
- you are a student previously studying or graduating from another university abroad and wish to apply for an evaluation of your previous academic record for a programme shortening;
- you have already graduated or obtained a university diploma from Politecnico di Milano or another university and wish to complete a second degree programme;
- you had a previous academic record or will soon end it by withdrawing or because you have been excluded, and you wish to re-enrol in a Laurea programme.
You can request the evaluation of your previous academic record for a maximum of 3 degree programmes.
You will be required to pay €60.00 for each programme for which you request evaluation. This fee is non-refundable. Once Politecnico di Milano has received said payment, it will no longer be possible for you to change your request for evaluation, as it will be sent to the Board.
Access the Online Services by clicking on 'Lauree triennali e a ciclo unico: passaggi di corso e ammissione con carriera pregressa'. Download and read the 'Guida alla richiesta di valutazione della carriera pregressa'. The procedure is very simple and intuitive. Follow the screens and carefully read the information shown on each page. You will be asked to enter some information on your previous academic record. We recommend you prepare the following in advance:
- name of the qualification or partial qualification attained
- University name
- last academic year of enrolment
- your last year on the programme on which you were enrolled
- enrolment status for the last year (regular, repeating, provisional, off-schedule)
- academic record closing date
- reason for closing your previous academic record (withdrawal, exclusion, dismissal)
The application will ask you to request or refuse an academic record evaluation.
A) IF YOU REQUEST AN EVALUATION, THIS WILL MEAN THAT YOU PREVIOUS ACADEMIC RECORD WILL BE EVALUATED AND YOU MAY BE RECOGNISED AS HAVING COMPLETED CERTAIN COURSES
You must enter the courses for which you are requesting evaluation, indicating the following for each of them:
- 'SSD' - Scientific Disciplinary Sector (if applicable to your Study Programme or Educational System)
- the number of ECTS is only specified if applicable to the Study Programme/Educational System
- course name or part of the name
- academic year in which the exam was recorded
- exam status (passed, not passed, validated/derived from previous evaluation/eligibility)
It is also necessary to create and upload two different files in PDF format:
Study plan or transcript of records
- Syllabus of each course unit to be evaluated
Remember to also indicate exams which you have not yet passed but you intend to take after submitting the request for the evaluation of your career.
If you have been enrolled at Politecnico (eg you are an excluded student), you will be shown a screen with your entire previous academic record as you entered it.
This information entry process must be completed for each destination programme for which you are requesting admission. If you request an evaluation for three different programmes, you must complete the procedure three times, by clicking on the 'Nuova richiesta' button every time.
B) IF YOU REFUSE AN EVALUATION, YOU ARE DECLARING THAT YOU DO NOT WANT THE EXAMS FROM YOUR PREVIOUS ACADEMIC RECORD TO BE RECOGNISED
This decision cannot be changed at a later date.
Remember to pay the first instalment and only proceed with enrolment after correctly cancelling your registration on your study programme of origin, so that you are not enrolled on several Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programmes at the same time.
The time required to process each evaluation may vary. If you have requested multiple evaluations, the acceptance of one evaluation will automatically invalidate any others. We recommend that you wait for the results of all evaluations before accepting any of them. Until 2 September 2024, you will be able to check the status and potentially the result of your evaluation request by returning to the application.
Once you have viewed the result, you must take one of the following actions by 6 September 2024
- reject the evaluation result
- accept the evaluation result
If you have accepted the result of the evaluation of your previous academic record, the exams from your programme of origin for which you obtained OPTIONAL VALIDATION (see ‘YES’ beside the relevant approved exam in the ‘optional validation’ column) may be taken on the exam dates specified in the academic calendar, up until the close date of your previous academic record or academic record of origin.
If you are coming from another university or you have already graduated and wish to attain a Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) degree or diploma from Politecnico di Milano, you must still obtain at least 60 ECTS from curricular exams at our University, as well as pass the Final Exam and mandatory Traineeship, where applicable.
OFAs (additional education obligations) of English
All students who do not hold one of the English language certificates required by the University are automatically assigned English OFA (additional educational obligations). These OFAs must be fulfilled within the first year of registration at Politecnico di Milano, otherwise it will not be possible to add new courses to the study plan other than those already included upon enrolment.
If, on admission, you submit a Study Plan complete with all the ECTS necessary for attaining the degree, you cannot be admitted to the final exam until you have fulfilled your OFAs of English.
