Check the "Instructions for Graduating Students" at the following link: Delivery of the final examination - Directions for undergraduates
Milan Campus
You must upload your final paper within 15 days of the first date of the proclamation sessions
Rome Campus
You must upload your final paper within 12 days of the first date of the proclamation sessions.
If you are graduating in the Faculty of Economics (Rome Campus), you must submit the Declaration of regularity of fulfilment (Library, EDUCatt) to the Student Services Centre.
In order to avoid either excessive proximity or overlapping between the deadline for the exam session (last call) and the start of the graduation session, undergraduate students will be allowed to complete their degree requirements (i.e., register all pending exams) within 7 calendar days of the start of the graduation session. During this period, all necessary checks on the student's academic record will be carried out.
To this end, the examination calendar will be scheduled to ensure that graduating students will be enabled to sit their pending exams according to the following schedule:
- Students registered for the summer exam session (June-July): you may sit the first 2 of 3 scheduled exam dates (or the first of two, where applicable).
- Students registered for the autumn session (September-October): you may sit the first of 2 scheduled dates.
- Students registered for the special session (December-April): you may sit the first 2 of 3 scheduled exam dates (or the first of two, where applicable).
The final available date in each session may also be used, provided the exam is officially recorded within seven calendar days before the start of the graduation session.
If the course lecturer has informed of their inability to chair the exam at short notice, a substitute professor will be appointed to conduct the exam on the scheduled date, in order to avoid any postponement.
Rome Campus
Graduating students will be informed of the last possible exam date in the message listing the graduation sessions dates.
Undergraduate students who are unable to graduate in the session for which they have applied must notify both their professor/supervisor and the Student Services Centre of their respective Campus.
Notification to the Student Services Centre must be submitted through the iCatt Information Request form by selecting: Lessons/ Examinations and Final Examination/Final Examination.
To apply for a subsequent graduation session, students must submit a new application for admission to the final examination, along with a €16 revenue stamp and a proof of payment of the graduation fee.
Graduating students will receive their summons to the final examination exclusively through their personal iCatt page, approximately 10 days before the scheduled graduation date (under Online Secretariat – Final Examination section).

For students enrolled from academic year 2009/10 onwards:
The final degree grade is calculated based on the following criteria:
|
BASIC COUNTING |
All grades from passed examinations (each multiplied by its corresponding ECTS credit value) are summed. Grades of “30 cum laude” are counted as 31. The resulting sum is then divided by the total number of ECTS credits considered. The average obtained (expressed in thirtieths) is then converted to a scale of 110 using the following formula: (Average × 11) / 3). |
|
|
|
| FINAL TEST MARK | 0 to 3 points |
|
|
|
|
PERFORMANCE BONUS |
Bonus points are awarded according to the student’s average mark (expressed in thirtieths): 6 points if the average mark is >= 28; |
|
|
|
|
SPEED BONUS |
Additional points are awarded based on the timing of graduation: 3 points if the degree is obtained by December of the third year; 2 points if obtained by March of the third year; 1 point if obtained by December of the first supplementary year of the programme |
|
|
|
| BONUS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDY EXPERIENCES | 1 point: if the international study experience is recognised by the Faculty |
|
|
|
|
THEOLOGIES BONUS |
1 point if the average mark is >= 29; |
Students who enrolled before the 2009–2010 academic year are advised to contact the Student Services Centre to verify how their graduation average is calculated.
