  • you can only register for exams included in your study plan;
  • if you are enrolled in a degree programme established under the previous system (four- or five-year degree), you may only carry out changes relative to the drafting of your thesis.

    The main practical keys 

    The compilation is guided. To move back and forth use the functional buttons made available by the application and not those of  the browser navigation. The study plan will be completed only after you have completed the online procedure and have selected the button  Permanently Confirm Study Plan, otherwise it will remain a draft and your booklet cannot be revised and updated.

    If your work session  is interrupted earlier on, whether it be due to technical reasons or for your own item, it is more advisable that you start the compilation anew.

    In the initial screen you will find the caption New Study Plan, if it is the first compilation, otherwise the uploaded plan will be visualized in the end notes of which there are the options Modify Plan and Print Plan.

    The second screen has 4 buttons. The first three are documentation files in PDF format. By clicking on Continue Study Plan Compilation you start the compiling process. The keys for the compilation are: Previous item (to undo the item already taken); Skip item (to continue without selecting any of the activities offered); Next item ( to confirm the selected activities and continue the compilation). Add activity allows you to select courses that you will find filed under Degree program, study field and department.

    Further on  you will find a recap page in the footnotes of which you will find: Modify plan, Print Plan and Confirm Plan.

    • The button Modify Plan undoes the items taken at the beginning of the process;
    • the button Print Plan visualizes the study plan filed in carrier.  You will see the changes updated only after having clicked on the Confirm Plan button;
    • the Confirm Plan button saves the plan you have  just filled in. After having clicked on Confirm Plan a new page appears with an additional button Permanently Confirm Plan that is needed in order to register in your booklet the plan you have just  submitted. After this, the compilation of the study plan will be completed.

    Minor

    A Minor is a complementary programme to a Bachelor’s Degree which allows you to broaden your main study field by developing cross-cutting skills that are useful both for your further education and for your career.

    A Minor is composed of three modules of 6 ECTS each. By passing the three Minor exams you will get a certification and an Open Badge. Furthermore, Minor can be recognised in the elective course section of your Bachelor’s Degree.

    For more information, visit the page about the Minor.

    If one or more exams taken during your mobility period have been recognised with the original title as free choice or extra credits, remember to modify your study plan by the set deadline and according to the prescribed procedures, once these activities are regularly registered on your record book (libretto). 

    If you are enrolled in a Bachelor's degree programme you cannot take exams at Master's degree level. This does not apply to Literature which expressly provides for a number of matching courses in the Bachelor's degree (introduced under Ministerial Decree 509/1999) and in the Master's degree (introduced under Ministerial Decree 270/2004).  

    If you are enrolled in a Master's degree programme you cannot take exams at Bachelor's degree level.

    The following exceptions apply:

    • Degree programmes in the economics area:

      • until a.y. 2013/2014, exams included in study plans for the purpose of exemption from one of the  state exams (special ODCEC agreement);
      • students enrolled in a double diploma.

    • Degree programmes in the humanities area: optional exams included in your study plan.
    • Degree programmes in the scientific and language area: Optional or elective exams included in your study plan.

    You will not be able to use the online procedure to change your language choice if:

    • you enrolled in the degree programme in Languages, cultures and  societies of Asia and North Africa from academic year 2014/2015 onwards because the first language is tied to the choice of curriculum and cannot be changed. You will only be able to change the second language. You can only change both languages in the Near and Middle East curriculum;
    • If you enrolled in the degree programme in Languages, cultures and societies of Asia and North Africa – Near and Middle East and Indian subcontinent curriculum – prior to the academic year 2014/2015. In this case you can request the change by sending an e-mail to   carriere.studenti@unive.it;
    • if you are enrolled in master's degree courses in Languages and Economic and Legal Institutions of Asia and Mediterranean Africa, Languages, Economies and Institutions of Asia and Mediterranean Africa and Languages and Civilizations of Asia and Mediterranean Africa (Chinese and Japanese curriculum) as the choice of language is linked to the choice of the curriculum;
    • and you are enrolled in the Master's Degree Program in Languages and Civilizations of Asia and Mediterranean Africa (curriculum Near Middle East and Indian subcontinent) as each language is linked to the possession of different access requirements.

    Remember to recompile your study plan after changing your language.

    If you are enrolled in a course in the languages area, you can change your study language directly in our Personal Area, by choosing the “Language Choice” heading in Personal Area > Online student services - Esse3. To change your language you must be properly enrolled in the academic year 2024/2025.

    You can change your curriculum online by choosing “Curriculum choice” in Personal Area > Online student services - Esse3 provided that the exams taken so far are all included in your new path.

    If an error message appears informing you that you cannot change curriculum for your study programme, please contact the Campus Administrative Office..

    Newly enrolled students

    Newly enrolled students may sit for exams in the September session at the discretion of the Teaching Board responsible for the degree programme concerned: in order to take an exam in September, they must first obtain the authorisation of the Teaching Board.

    Exam procedures

    To register for an exam go to your Personal Area and follow this page sequence: Online student services - ESSE3 > Exams > Exam dates.

    You will be able to register for all exam dates in the exam calendar, with the exception of exams relative to the study language of first-cycle and second-cycle degree programmes in the languages area where you will be required to choose one of the two available dates for that session.
    If you register for an exam date then decide to take the exam on a different date in the same session, you will have to cancel your previous registration before the final registration date.

    The list may only be accessed during the exam registration period: you can check the opening period of the exam registration lists using the appropriate application; should you find it impossible to register for an exam during the opening period, you can report any difficulties using the application in your Personal Area on the exam registration.

    When you go to take your exam, remember to take valid ID with you: exams are registered by means of an online procedure.

    N.B.: if you have requested an interruption of your studies, remember that you will not be able to take any exams during the academic year of your interruption, or during the September session.

    In order to access a list of the exams passed, go to your Personal Area then follow either one of the page sequences below: Online student services - ESSE3 > Administrative procedures > Certificates > Registration certificate with exams or Online student services - ESSE3 > Career > Record book.

    Failure to update career:

    If you took an exam and it does not show up in your Personal Area you can choose between two options:

    • if you have not received a confirmation email, you should get directly in touch with the professor with whom you took the exam;
    • if you have received a confirmation email and over six weeks have passed since your exam was recorded, you should report this to  carriere.studenti@unive.it.

    Remember that some exams are preliminary to others and must be taken in the right sequence to ensure that online registration of exams can be completed successfully.

    Should you notice that some exams are not displayed in your career list when carrying out the Request to Graduate procedure online just report this when submitting your request: the Student Administration Unit will update your career to ensure that you are admitted to the final exam.
