• transfer (congedo): this option is suggested if you have already passed some exams at your university of origin and you intend to request credit transfer. In this case, the year of your first enrolment is the year when you enrolled in the Italian university system for the first time (years spent at your current university are calculated for your learning path at Politecnico);
• or else, withdrawal from studies (rinuncia agli studi): this is suggested if you have not taken any exam yet or just a few of them. After withdrawing from your current university, you will be able to enrol as a first-year Master's student at Politecnico di Torino (years spent at your current university are not calculated for your learning path at Politecnico).

• We remind you that:

• You are required to pay a fee (100 euro) for the evaluation of your academic records. This amount will be deducted from your tuition fees if you enrol in the academic year for which you had submitted your application, but cannot be refunded in other cases.
• If you come from another university you must earn a minimum of 50 credits (excluding the thesis credits) at Politecnico di Torino in order to earn your Master’s degree.
• Transfers are possible only between Italian universities.
