22 Exemptions General rules The Board of Governors of the Politecnico di Milano has planned a 2,700,000 reduction of income in the 2015/2016 A.Y. in order to grant exemptions. Any leftover funds will be used to grant further exemptions, scholarships and to improve the services offered to students. If the sum of the reimbursements related to the accepted requests for exemptions is higher than the sum mentioned above, a reduction (percentage) of the exemption quotas in categories 1, 5, 6 and 7 will be applied. Students in categories 1, 4, 5 and 6 who are in contribution levels over and above level 5 will be granted an exemption quota that is no higher than that granted to students in contribution level 5. Students who meet the requirements for different kinds of benefits from the Financial Aid and International Mobility Service or from other Services of the Politecnico di Milano will be offered only the benefit with the highest economic value.

The reimbursement does not include the non-refundable fees listed below: Regional fee for university education aid: Administration fees: IOL contribution for students enrolled in the Online Programme in Computer Science and Engineering IOL (students in exemption category 2 students with a disability are not required to pay this contribution). The exemption quota will be applied by reducing the sum of the 2nd instalment (which is calculated according to the ECTS in the study plan and/or the contribution level the student belongs to). If no balance is due and the student is in credit, the excess amount will be refunded. Only students who are about to graduate may register for the academic year in specific cases up to the first day of the last graduation exam session of the 2014/2015 academic year.
