In recent days, we have received DOZENS of requests to change study programmes, which is not sustainable. What's more, these requests are from students who closed and saved their programmes a few weeks ago.
As we have repeatedly stated,
- before saving your study programme, you must ensure that your choices are fully feasible (exams from other departments, programme, semesters of classes, etc.)
- The study programme is completed only once, with the possibility of modification once a year during the regular opening windows.
- Reopening and modification entails the cancellation of the programme, with consequent work for the offices, and is also contrary to the Regulations, which provide for this operation only in exceptional cases. Despite this, we have done so several times, but it must be limited to extraordinary cases.
- It is absolutely not possible to proceed with cancellation and modification during exam sessions.
- Many requests for changes are made when the student still has mandatory exams to take, sometimes many, even of the first year; the elective examination cannot be used to 'move' the course in any way; it should be taken and then recorded in the third year. If there are still several curricular examinations to be taken, requests for cancellation will no longer be authorised.
- If a change is planned, there is clearly nothing to prevent the student from attending the lectures of the course they wish to take and then proceeding with the change within the regular time frame, before taking the examination.
Please refer to the Regulations and instructions on completing the study programmes (available here in a previous Notice), which should be read in full.
