Study plan

• Determines the unspecified exams in the career

• Taking into account the constraints in the “ordinamento”

• “Standard” study plans (approved by default)

• Non standard ones: need approval

Why

• Amount of students attending an (non mandatory) exam determines – Activation/de-activation of the exam

– Course mode(s)

• Although– Students are not obliged to present a study plan

– Provided they pass exams for a total of 120 CFUs

– Subject to the contrains in the ordinamento/regolamento

How

• “Standard” study plans

– Scheme 1: more oriented towards architectures and tools for computer systems and networking, and development of distributed applications

– Scheme 2 : more oriented towards network technologies, principles and technologies for optical and photonic communication

• “Free” study plan

– Submitted for approval

How (2)

• In general

– Once presented the study plan should not be changed

– If changed

• Needs approval

• Changed valid next academic year

• Unless compliant with ordinamento and regolamento(also needs formal approval)
