Before selecting an elective course, you must comply with the following requirements:

• Same course level: undergraduates students may only choose undergraduate courses, postgraduates students only postgraduate courses, and professionally oriented students only professionally oriented courses. It is not possible to choose modules from courses with limited enrolment.
• No duplicates: courses already recognised previously (e.g. as a substitute for a traineeship) or already taken during the undergraduate degree cannot be used as elective modules if you are enrolled on a postgraduate degree.
• No overlaps: it is forbidden to choose courses where more than 50% of the content overlaps with that already included in your study plan.
• Foreign languages: you cannot choose a foreign language course if it is your mother tongue.
• The course must be active in the current academic year.

2. COURSES FROM OTHER CURRICULA OR OTHER DEGREE PROGRAMMES WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT:

• from Management Engineering (Bachelor’s): Chemistry; Fundamentals of Business Economics; Information Systems; Principles and Applications of Electrical Energy; Organisational Systems and Behaviour; Industrial Technologies and Plant; Models and Methods for Decision Support.

- The Department has drawn up a list of courses from other departments from which students can choose, depending on their degree programme, as well as a list of modules that are NOT APPROVED and are therefore prohibited;

• if the chosen course is on the list of approved courses, check that it is running in the current academic year and submit the authorisation form to the Student Office at least one week before the exam
• if the chosen course is on the list of those NOT approved, you cannot sit the exam, or it will be cancelled if already taken
• if the chosen course is not on either list, submit the application form to the Student Office at least 3 months in advance. The application will be assessed by the Department and the outcome will be communicated. Without approval, the exam cannot be taken or will be cancelled if already taken.

- Students on the Professional Bachelor’s Degree in Technologies for Smart Industry and the Master’s Degree in Digital Automation Engineering and Energy Engineering must submit the application form to the Student Office at least 3 months in advance.

- Course on ‘Transversal Skills for Sustainability’: the exam may be taken by students from all degree programmes; it may be recognised only once, even if different modules are attended. For information on this course, please consult the UniMore Sostenibile page.

• ‘ENZO FERRARI’ DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING:
  In accordance with the decision taken on 5 June 2013 by the Teaching Committee of the ‘Enzo Ferrari’ Department of Engineering (Modena Engineering), students wishing to take courses offered by DIEF as optional exams must also submit the relevant form to the Student Office in Modena at least 15 days before the start of lectures.

• ‘MARCO BIAGI’ DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS
  Students from other departments of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia may not sit:

- exams in first-year subjects of three-year degree programmes;

- foreign language exams;

- exams in subjects from the computer science sectors (courses belonging to the scientific-disciplinary sectors INF/01 and ING/INF-05);

- the International Economics exam (3rd year CLEF and CLEMI).

The reason for this is that these are subjects which already have a high attendance rate or which make use of teaching laboratories.

For other subjects, students must contact the lecturer responsible for the course, who will decide (taking into account any necessary prerequisites) whether to accept the request.

• DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION AND ECONOMICS:
  Students from other departments are not permitted to choose courses from the restricted-entry degree programme in Digital Marketing.

Elective courses do not appear automatically in your study record.

To take the exam:

1. log in to Esse3;
2. select “Exam sessions”;
3. use the “Search for exam sessions” function;
4. search for the course you wish to take and add it to your study record, following the system’s instructions.

You can only add a course once the lecturer has published the exam sessions.
If your registration is unsuccessful, please check that you have completed the teaching evaluation questionnaires.
