Enrolling as a transfer student

For students coming from an Italian University, the transfer certificate ("congedo") issued by the University of origin must be provided by 31 August. The transfer certificate ("congedo") is issued only after submitting the transfer application ("domanda di trasferimento"). 
The transfer certificate ("congedo") must be sent to Bocconi University directly by the university of origin by the deadline indicated, by certified email (PEC) to the address: admissionsoffice@unibocconi.legalmail.it

If a PEC address is not available, this should be reported to ufficioammissioni@unibocconi.it. 
Please remember to check the deadlines for submitting the withdrawal document / ex-matriculation / domanda di trasferimento /  with the University of origin 

The Admissions Office will submit the syllabi you uploaded on the platform, to the faculty member in charge of recognition.

For each course, the result may be:

• FULL RECOGNITION: the exam is fully recognized and will added to the Bocconi study plan with the grade received at the university of origin. If two exams are requested to be recognized for a single Bocconi exam code, the final grade will be calculated as the weighted average of the two exams.
   
• PARTIAL RECOGNITION: the exam is partially recognized. The unrecognized part of the exam must be completed during one of the exam sessions scheduled for that course, according to the methods indicated by the faculty member. The recognized part of the exam will contribute to the final grade using a weighted average.
   
• UNSUCCESSFUL RECOGNITION: the exam is not recognized and must be taken at Bocconi.
   

After receiving the feedback from the Bocconi faculty members and verifying that the exam has effectively been passed on the student’s final academic transcript, the Admissions Office will meet the student to present the credit recognition result (around late September/early October and only after the final academic transcript has been received).
 

Once the credit recognition result has been viewed, the student has 5 business days to decide whether to:

• Accept the recognition: all the exams recognized (both partially and fully) will be added to the Bocconi study plan (it will not be possible to choose among the exams and decide to not have some recorded in the study plan);
• NOT accept the recognition: by not accepting, the student automatically withdraws enrollment at Bocconi University and, at the same time, can submit a request for reimbursement of the advance payment of the first installment.

Bachelor of Science programs

Considering only 1^st- and 2^nd-year Bocconi exams, students admitted to a Bachelor of Science program who have obtained the recognition of:

• less than 24 credits: will stay enrolled in the first year of the program;
• 24 credits or more: may choose to stay enrolled in the first year of the program or move to the second year.

For students admitted to a Bachelor of Science program, the maximum number of credits that may be recognized is 90 credits.

Students who accept credit recognition and are re-enrolled in the first year or repeat a year (e.g. enrolls in Bocconi in the second year after having already completed two years elsewhere) may not be considered an "in corso" student for the purposes of future selection processes when applying to Master of Science programs.

Specialized Master programs
