  • Access the Bocconi Store with the same username and password used for MyApplication;
  • Select the payment for the registration fee (€ 200.00) and upload the receipt in the dedicated section on MyApplication;

Visiting students attending both semesters will have to pay the registration fee and submit the online application twice. 

The registration fee will not be refunded, even if the applicant will withdraw from the program.



Incoming visiting students are required to inform Bocconi about their course choice in two steps:


1. COURSE SELECTION (9 - 15 July 2024)

After being admitted to the program, students can have a look at the list of courses open to incoming visiting students for the upcoming semester.

Visiting students can have access to any of the courses available on that list, regardless their background.

Please note that: 

  • courses marked with G-School (course code beginning with “2”) are at a graduate level
  • courses marked with UG-School (course code beginning with “3”) are undergraduate courses
  • courses of the Law School are marked with Law-School (course code beginning with “5”) and are at a graduate level.


In order to select their courses, students have to:

  1. Log in to MyApplication
  2. Go to the section "course choice"
  3. Select from a drop-down menu as many courses as they would like to try (up to 8).
  4. Save the section (no need to re-submit your application form)

When in doubt, we suggest that students select all the courses they would like to try. Later on, they will be able to drop any course they are not willing to attend.

Once the course selection is completed, the course selection won't be editable until the enrollment phase.

PLEASE NOTE: students are required to take at least 2 courses per semester, otherwise their admission will be cancelled



2. COURSE CONFIRMATION (13-15 September 2024)
 

During the first week of the semester (early September) students will attend all the courses indicated in their online application, in order to make sure that their study plan suits their interest and that both the content and the schedule of each course fit their expectations. 
After that, they are required to take their final decision on their study plan for the semester, before enrolling.

During the enrollment (mid-September) students will need to confirm their course choice, based on the first week they've spent at Bocconi.
They can add/drop/change their courses, but in the end they will need to confirm at least 2 courses for their semester. 
 

After the enrollment period, no further changes will be allowed.

For this reason, it is mandatory to double-check the class timetable and exam schedule of the courses selected before confirming your choice, in order to avoid possible overlaps.

Exam dates can't be changed or postponed, so your decision has to take this into consideration


 

In order to complete their enrollment, applicants need to log in to MyApplication portal in order to: 
 

  • Confirm their course choice
    After attending their courses in the first week of the semester, students should take their final decision. 
    It's their opportunity to add/drop/change courses in their study plan. 
    After the deadline, students won't have the chance to change their study plan anymore. 

     
  • Pay the course fees through the Bocconi Store: according to the amount of credits for the courses selected 
    • Select "single courses" and add the number of credits according to the courses you have chosen (€ 170.00 for each credit).
    • Save and print the receipts of payment.
    • Upload the receipt of payment on MyApplication

       
  • Download, sign and upload the enrollment form

     

Enrollment applications will be reviewed in the following days.

Students will receive a feedback from the Admissions Office on MyApplication regarding the completion of their enrollment process by early October 2024. 

PLEASE NOTE: students who will not have confirmed at least 2 courses for their semester will have their enrollment cancelled.
