Students intending to graduate must:

1. choose a topic, checking the requirements
2. submit the application for admission to the final examination, verifying the curricular/temporal requirements
3. deliver the final paper in the prescribed manner

The subject of the final examination must be related to a course included in the degree curriculum and the title must be agreed upon with the reference professor.

In order to obtain approval for the topic, it is necessary to contact the professor. 

The topic must then be entered on the iCatt personal page (Online Secretariat - Final Examination) by the deadline indicated in the 'Four-year and Master's Degree Appeals' section of this page.

In order to submit the dissertation topic approval form, you must comply with:

• submission deadlines: at least 6 months before the session. Details in the calendar

• curricular requirements:
  • Graduate degree programmes: no more than 4 examinations in debt (counting does not include 'Theology' courses, supernumerary examinations and activities such as internships and supplementary seminars)
  • four-year degree programmes: no more than 4 examinations in debt (counting does not include 'Theology' courses)
     

Please refer to the Faculty Guide for further details on the final examination.

In order to apply for admission to the final examination, you must comply with:

• submission deadline: at least 45 days before the session. Details in the calendar

• curricular requirements: no more than 4 examinations in debt (counting does not include 'Theology' courses and educational activities such as internships and supplementary seminars)
   

The dedicated function (Online registrar > Final examination > application for graduation) involves the following steps:  

1. completion and forwarding of the application to the professor for approval; 
2. approval or rejection by the professor; 
3. payment of the graduation fee by Pago PA; 
4. submission of the degree application. 

Any changes to the title of the final dissertation, approved by the professor, must be made at the time the application is completed. The title contained must therefore be definitive, as no further changes can be accepted. 

The .pdf file of the paper must be sent to the professor via the iCatt personal page (Online secretariat, Final paper, Submit final paper).

In the event of the inability, communicated close to the date of the exam roll call, of the full professor to chair the commission, a substitute will be appointed to open the roll call on the scheduled date, avoiding postponement of the roll call to a new date.  

In order to reduce critical situations related to the excessive proximity or overlap of the date of the end of the exam session (last roll call) with the date of the beginning of the graduation session, undergraduates will be allowed to close their careers (understood as the recording of all exams) within 7 calendar days of the beginning of the graduation session, i.e. the time required to carry out the student's career checks. To this end, the examinations calendar will be scheduled so that the undergraduate student can take advantage of the profit appeals according to the following schedule  

Enrolled in the summer session (June-July): the first 2 out of 3 calls (or the first call out of 2, where applicable).  

Enrolled for the autumn session (September-October): the first 2 out of 2 calls.  

Those enrolled for the special session (December-April): the first 2 out of 3 appeals (or the first out of 2 appeals, where applicable).  

The last call of each session may also be used only if the examination is recorded within 7 calendar days of the start of the session. 

Undergraduate students who fail to graduate in the call for which they have applied for admission to the final examination must notify both the professor/supervisor and the Student Services Centre of the relevant seat.
Notification to the Student Services Centre should be made by writing via the iCatt Information Request form under Lessons, Examinations and Final Examination - Final Examination.

For a subsequent graduation session, a new application for admission to the final examination must be submitted with a €16 revenue stamp and a receipt of payment of the Undergraduate Contribution.

Graduating students will receive the convocation exclusively via their personal iCatt page approximately 10 days before the scheduled graduation date (Online Secretariat - Final Examination section).

The following criteria are applied for the calculation of the final degree mark:

BASIC COUNTING	The grade average is obtained by dividing the sum of the marks (expressed in thirtieths) of all the examinations taken (excluding 'Theology' examinations and any supernumerary examinations) by the number of examinations taken. 30-hour courses count for half an examination. Consequently, the grade for 30-hour courses’ examinations is taken into account for a value of 0.5 for the purposes of the average   (Ex. 4 examinations with 60-hour courses + 1 examination with a 30-hour course; if in all the examinations the mark obtained was 30/30, the average would still be 30/30: in fact, their sum would be reduced to 135, which would, however, be correspondingly divided by 4.5 for the purposes of admission to the final examination and the calculation of the corresponding average).     The average in thirtieths obtained in this way is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing it by 3 (30 cum laude is counted as 31).
FINAL TEST MARK	0 to 3 points for below-average theses and in particular for theses of limited breadth and of a compilative nature; 5 points for theses of medium quality and value; up to 8 points for above-average theses, provided that there is a favourable reasoned opinion from the co-supervisor.
ADDITIONAL BONUS CREDITS	Students who have obtained (by means of supernumerary examinations or other activities accredited by the Faculty) a number of credits in excess of 180 for a degree programme and 300 for an integrated five-year/six-year degree programme, will be awarded an increase in the basic mark (expressed in 110) of 0.1 points for each additional credit (up to a maximum of 10 credits).
