Submission & Rules

It is possible to submit the request of study plan variation through the new GCS online service.

PLESE CHECK the proper time windows for the Study Plan submission!

RULES

- For students enrolled in 2023, 2024 and 2025 the submission of the Study Plan of Geoengineering Students takes place through the new GCS online service.

• IMPORTANT: To access the online procedure, you must have renewed your enrollment for the current academic year.

- Students who are "outside prescribed time (fuori corso)" or who have an individual study plan are requested to use the Form for the Study Plan Variation.
The form can only be accessed using the institutional account (@stud.unifi.it).

For any other information about the study plan please visit the dedicated page of the School of Engineering https://www.ingegneria.unifi.it/vp-386-piani-di-studio.html

Why is it important to submit your Study Plan?

Filling in or modifying your Study Plan is a fundamental step that allows you to define:

• The curriculum or specific study path within your degree program (if applicable).
• The courses within the elective groups proposed by your program.
• The courses you choose freely (free-choice credits/CFU).

Only the exams included in your approved Study Plan will be considered valid for graduation.

Please read carefully the Student Guide corresponding to your cohort year (year of enrollment) in order to make consistent and appropriate choices for your academic career and avoid rejection of your plan. If your plan is rejected, a short resubmission window will be granted—dates will be announced shortly.

Free choice activities

The main general criterion for selecting the free-choice/elective courses remains the one established by the DM n. 270 of 22 October 2004, related to the Article 10: "the training activities autonomously chosen by the student, quantified in CFU/ECTS, must be consistent with the study program course".

Students are therefore advised to provide a brief explanation of the choice done in defining the individual study plan.

Please note the importance of following clarification:

• Study plans reporting free-choice courses without academic discipline code or courses without grade, will not be accepted (in particular, language courses/exams will not be accepted);
• The selected courses should be preferable held in English (programmes held in English at University of Florence) and must be included in the offer of the University of Florence, in the academic year in which the individual study plan is defined;
• The selection of free-choice courses not present in the Degree Course offer must take into account the following aspects:
  • non-overlapping with other teaching contents offered by the Degree Course itself;
  • adequacy of the selected courses to acquire skills and knowledge useful for the profession and therefore consistent with the rest of the training course;
  •  inclusion in the study plan of any preparatory content for the selected course.

Support to the compilation phase

Starting this academic year, a dedicated help desk is available to assist students with their Study Plan, run by student tutors.
The desk is open:

• Monday to Thursday: 9:00–13:00 and 14:00–16:00
• Friday: 9:00–13:00
