You must complete your study plan exclusively online via the Web Self Service during the time periods specified for your degree program, course year, and enrollment year. Outside of these periods, you cannot make selections or change any you've already made.

If you don’t make your selections or confirm them via the Web Self Service by the specified deadlines, a default study plan will be assigned to you, and you won’t be able to change it.

Before logging into Web Self Service, we recommend carefully reading the overview below, paying attention to your degree program and the year of study you are in:

Students who plan to graduate by the Special Session of the 2025/2026 academic year (March–April 2027) cannot make any changes to their curriculum or add elective courses.

Those who have completed their final year of study and are about to enroll as a student extending their studies beyond the standard timeframe for the 2026/2027 academic year, and who wish to modify their study plan, must enroll as a “repeating” student for the 2026/2027 academic year by submitting a specific request to the Student Affairs Office.

PLEASE NOTE

For information regarding the “International exchange programs with European countries (Erasmus+) and non-European countries” and the “Double Degree and Structured Partnership Programs” for the 2026/2027 academic year, please refer to the dedicated pages:

• for information about international exchange programs>
• for information about Double Degree/Structured Partnership programs>

The Luiss Academic Senate, in its session on May 28, 2009, established the following:

• Starting in the second semester of the first year, students enrolled in three-year degree programs may take up to one course early per semester, provided they are current on all prior exams (including any courses for which early enrollment was requested in previous semesters) and have a weighted average of at least 27/30 (no rounding is permitted).

The request to take the course early must be submitted via email to the Student Affairs Office before the start of the semester in which the course is scheduled. Approval must be granted in time for the student to attend classes and in accordance with course prerequisites.

The choices made in June 2026 pertain to the 2026/2027 academic year. Therefore, the study plan will be activated and visible on the Web Self Service upon enrollment for this academic year, following the deadline for the first installment of the single contribution (July 22, 2026). 

To make an informed choice, please refer to the Undergraduate School's Guide to Completing Study Plans for lists of available courses and syllabi.

If a course or selected track is not activated, the Student Affairs Office will contact those who need to make a new selection, following a schedule that will be communicated.

Elective courses (June 2026)

For elective courses, there is a maximum limit on the number of students who can enroll in each course. Once this limit is reached, the message “Spots filled” will appear next to the course. During the period for compiling study plans, this information may change if students who had previously selected a course withdraw from it, making the course available again. Therefore, it’s advisable to periodically check the availability of the course you’re interested in—no later than the set deadline—if you were initially unable to select it due to a lack of spots.

Additional skills beneficial for entering the workforce

To make an informed choice and for information on available activities and possible combinations, please refer to the Other Educational Activities section of the Undergraduate School.

Language courses

To make an informed choice and for information on language courses, please refer to the University Language Center's dedicated page.

PLEASE NOTE

• If core courses, electives, other activities, or language courses are already part of your academic record (due to recognition of exams from a transfer from another university, a change of program, a shortened program, a master's degree, exams already taken during a mobility program, or courses taken in advance, etc.), you must confirm them by completing your study plan. It is not possible to select other courses or take other exams to replace what has already been recognized or completed.
• A course already taken as an elective course cannot, under any circumstances, be counted toward the credits required to obtain the degree (core, specialization, or elective courses, or other educational activities).
• Those who intend to take and complete one or more core and/or elective courses while abroad as part of a Double Degree, a Structured Partnership, an International Exchange Program, the Free Mover Program, or a Summer School must select the generic items Core Abroad, Mandatory Abroad, and/or Elective Abroad. If taken, the exam will be entered and recorded in the student’s academic record, and the number of credits will be awarded as specified in the student’s study plan for core/elective courses. Please note that the courses must already be approved as per the procedures outlined in each mobility program. For information about mobility programs>. If you fail the core and/or elective exam abroad, you must notify the Student Affairs Office of the exam you intend to take at Luiss. This exam must exclusively replace Core Abroad, Mandatory Abroad, and/or Elective Abroad and be selected from the list of active courses. For electives only, the maximum number of choices must not have already been reached.

FREE COURSES (JULY 2026)

You can add up to two courses to your study plan as free courses. This choice is not mandatory and can only be made through the Web Self Service in July 2026, within the registration window communicated by the Student Affairs Office.

If these courses are listed as free courses for your degree program, they will affect your weighted average on a scale of 30, regardless of the grade you receive (see also Criteria for assigning the graduation grade).

This option is reserved for students who are enrolled in the third year of a three-year degree program for the 2026/2027 academic year.

To make an informed choice, please refer to the Undergraduate School's Guide to Completing Study Plans for lists of available courses and syllabi.

It's important to know that:

• Adding elective courses to your study plan is not mandatory  , as the credits (CFU) associated with them do not count toward the total credits required to obtain your degree.
• You cannot add more than two elective courses from those offered for your degree program and viewable on the Web Self Service.
• the grade earned in an elective course—if it's part of the list of courses offered as electives for your degree program—affects the weighted average by one-thirtieth;
• If not taken, elective courses can be removed from the study plan by sending a specific request via email to the Student Affairs Office.
• You cannot request to write your thesis on a course taken as an elective.
• A course already taken as an elective cannot, under any circumstances, be counted toward the credits required to earn the degree (core, major, or elective courses, or other educational activities).

You can request the inclusion of “off-list” elective courses (those not listed as electives for your degree program) by sending an email request to the Student Affairs Office. If you take the exam, the grade will not affect the calculation of your weighted average in any way.
