  2. pay the expected fee
  3. submit the application for admission to the final examination, verifying the curricular/temporal requirements
  4. deliver the final paper and microfiches in the prescribed mannera

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.

The topic of the final examination, agreed with the professor, must be submitted via the dedicated function on the iCatt personal page (Online registrar > Final examination > Application for graduation), meeting deadlines and requirements.

If the date of the graduation session is changed, it does not have to be resubmitted.

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

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

  • submission deadline: at least 6 months before the session. Details in the calendar
  • curricular requirements: as of the July 2022 graduations, it will be possible to submit the thesis topic approval form provided that the student has obtained at least 230 ECTS credits.

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 for the summer session:
    • have no more than 35 ECTS in debt (foreign language courses and the final examination are not included in the count)
    • enrolled in 2013/2014 in years subsequent to the first year: not more than 32 CFUs in debt (foreign language courses and the final examination are not included in the count)
  • curricular requirements for all other sessions:
    • have no more than 20 ECTS in debt (foreign language courses and the final examination are not included in the count) 

Students must agree with the supervisor on the definitive title in order to proceed with the application for admission to the final examination.

The dedicated function (Online registrar > Final examination > application for graduation) involves the following steps: 
  • completion and forwarding of the application to the professor for approval;
  • approval or rejection by the professor;
  • payment of the graduation fee by Pago PA.

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). The professor may request a hard copy if necessary.

Instructions for uploading the paper: Loading of the Paper

The paper must be uploaded to the iCatt personal page no later than 10 days before the start date of the proclamation sessions (see calendar). The deadline for uploading the paper is not to be missed.

In the event that the professor appointed to chair the commission is unable to do it, as communicated close to the date of the exam, a substitute will be appointed to open the exam call on the scheduled date, avoiding postponement of the call. 

In order to reduce the critical situations linked to the excessive proximity or overlap of the date of the end of the exam session (last call) with the date of the start of the graduation session, it will be possible for undergraduates to close their careers (understood as the recording of all exams) within 7 calendar days of the start of the graduation session, i.e. the time required to carry out the checks on the student's career. To this end, the examination calendar will be scheduled so that undergraduate students can take advantage of the profit exam calls as follows: 

  • Students registered in the summer session (May-July): the first 2 out of 3 calls (or the first call out of 2, where applicable). 
  • Students registered in the autumn session (August-November): first call in 2 (or the only call, where applicable). 
  • Students registered in the special session (December-April): the first 3 out of 4 calls (or the two calls out of 3, where applicable). 

The last call of each session may also be used if the examination is registered within 7 calendar days before the start of the graduation 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 iCatt personal 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

All the marks of the profit examinations are added together multiplied by the number of ECTS credits of each examination (excluding 'Theology' examinations). A grade of 30 cum laude is counted as 31.

Supernumerary courses only count towards the average for students who have enrolled in the first year since the academic year. 2013/14; for students who matriculated earlier, supernumerary examinations do not count towards the graduation average.

The sum is divided by the total weight in ECTS credits of the subjects considered (average in thirtieths).

The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing it by 3.

 

 

FINAL TEST MARK 0 to 8 points

 

 

BONUS THEOLOGIES

 

 

1 point if the average mark is >= 27;
0.5 points if the average mark is <= 26 and >= 24;

For students enrolled since the a.y. 2019/20

(at the discretion of the Degree Committee):

 

1.5 point if the average mark is 30 CUM LAUDE;

1 point if the average mark is: 30 to 29;

0.5 points if the average mark is 28 to 26;

0 points if the average mark is 25 to 18.

The Theology seminar course will also count towards the average.
   

 

 

Students who matriculated before the a.y. 2013/14 can go to the Student Services Centre to check how the graduation average is calculated
