Changing course
Applications to change from one degree course to another are examined by the Faculty Council and assessed on the basis of compatibility between previous studies and the study plan of the course applied for, in compliance with the number of enrolments programmed annually for each course of study and the regulations in force.
Requests to change course can be submitted from 1 August to 30 September of each year relating to the following academic year (e.g. from 1 August 2022 a student enrolled in Corporate Communication and Public Relations can request to change to Communication, Media and Advertising for the academic year 2022/2023).
The year of admission to the new course of study is determined on the basis of the number of validated CFUs from previous studies (e.g. a transfer to the second year normally requires at least 36 CFUs). The change of course requires the payment of a contribution (internal transfer fee) of 50 euros, to be paid together with the first instalment.
For further information on how to submit applications please contact [email protected].
In the case of the degree course in Comunicazione d'impresa e relazioni pubbliche, since an identical course in Corporate Communication and Public Relations is offered in English, it is also possible to evaluate a change of course, from Italian to English or vice versa. This option may only be evaluated, subject to verification of the necessary requirements, during the first year of the course and no later than the conclusion of the first examination session. Once the courses of the second semester have started, any such requests will, as a rule, be automatically rejected.
It should also be noted that the possibility of requesting a change of course between the two programmes is envisaged only after the courses have started (and in any case after the ranking list for admissions has been closed): requests for a change of course are therefore not permitted as long as the ranking list for admissions is valid;
— the possibility of requesting a change of course is designed primarily for students who, after starting their courses, encounter language difficulties and decide to opt for the programme delivered in Italian;
— after acceptance of applications, the sum of the available places between the two programmes shall not vary.
To submit a request for an internal course transfer, please fill in this form and send it by e-mail to: [email protected]
Suspension of studies
At any time during the year, students enrolled at IULM University may request to suspend their studies for one or more academic years for serious health reasons or to attend courses at foreign universities or institutions. Suspension cannot last for more than five academic years.
It is not possible to request the suspension of your studies in order to enrol in another Italian university, as it is prohibited to be enrolled simultaneously at more than one university; in this case, it is necessary to withdraw from your studies or make an outgoing transfer.
During the period of suspension students may not carry out any activities at IULM University.
In order to apply for a suspension of studies, a request must be sent to [email protected], stating the reasons and purpose and attaching an identity document. The request will first be assessed by the Registrar's Office and, if necessary, submitted to the Dean of the relevant Faculty.
In order to resume studies after suspension, students must make an explicit request and regularise all administrative formalities.
