One main tool is available to all Summer School students:

  • Blackboard Collaborate, the Bocconi e-learning platform: to attend all the live sessions connect to https://blackboard.unibocconi.it/ using your Bocconi credentials (same used for the admissions portal). Click on "My Courses" then select the course "International Business and Digital Law". Click on "Class Collaborate" and  on "Live Sessions". 
     

The Bocconi Library builds and makes discoverable multidisciplinary and up-to-date collections to support the University's educational and research mission.
For the duration of the program, Summer School students are entitled to 24/7 off-campus access to the Library's databases, online journals, e-books and other online resources. Access to licensed electronic resources is only for educational, research or personal use.
The Library's digital collections can be accessed with your Bocconi credentials through the discovery tool available on https://lib.unibocconi.it/ starting from Monday 8 July. 

All students attending the program will receive a participation certificate after the program (usually before the end of July). 

The Summer School exam is fully recognized as a Bocconi exam and will be graded pass/fail. In order to earn the corresponding 3 credits, students must complete the course and pass the exam on campus on the last day of the program.

Around mid-September, once the exam is registered at Bocconi, you and your home university registry officer will receive an email with the official certificate (electronic format), stating your participation in the program and the number of credit points earned.
