CHANNEL CHANGES (Criminal Procedure)

As a rule, students may request to transfer from Prof. Bronzo channel to other channels by filling out this form, having it signed by Prof. Bronzo and by the incoming professor, collecting attendance at lectures up to 75% of the total, and submitting the form to the Chair of the Degree Program for ratification.
The request must be based on convincing and well-grounded reasons (for example, work or other commitments that make it impossible or extremely difficult to attend the course at the scheduled times).
In the event that Prof. Bronzo does not authorize the transfer, the student may contact the Chair and present convincing and well-grounded reasons in order to obtain authorization for the channel change.

(follows) TRANSITIONAL REGIME
Students currently belonging to other channels, enrolled in the academic years 2021/2022 and earlier (both tutoring and regular course enrollees), and who belonged to Prof. Giostra-Bronzo’s former channeling system or who had obtained a channel change towards Prof. Giostra-Bronzo (“free,” or formally ratified), may continue to register for and take the exam with Prof. Bronzo without the need for further requests and without any expiry term.
Students currently belonging to other channels, enrolled in the academic years 2019/2020 and earlier (tutoring or regular course enrollees), and who did not belong to Prof. Giostra-Bronzo’s former channeling system or who had not obtained any channel change towards Prof. Giostra-Bronzo (neither “free” nor formally ratified), may take the exam with Prof. Bronzo only after following the usual procedure and attending the relevant course in order to complete the collection of signatures.
In any case, it is not permitted to take the exam with two different instructors during the same exam sessions.
