Tutorial guide [ITA]

Students from the Faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences are not required to submit the topic approval form to the Student Service Office of the related campus.

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

In order to apply for admission to the final examination:

For degree programmes in Agricultural Science and Technology and Food Science and Technology, one must comply with:

• submission deadline: at least 45 days before the session. Details in the calendar
• curricular requirements: no more than 36 ECTS in debt (final examination and internship are not included in the count)

For the Food Production Management SAFE degree programme 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 42 ECTS in debt (final examination and internship are not included in the count)
  • for the other sessions: no more than 36 ECTS in debt (final examination and internship are not included in the count)

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.

Thesis cover page

The .pdf file of the dissertation must be sent to the professor via the personal iCatt page (Online registrar > Final examination > Submit final dissertation). The professor may request a hard copy if necessary.

The dissertation must be uploaded to the personal iCatt page no later than 10 days before the start date of the proclamation sessions (see calendar).

The deadline for submitting the dissertation 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 through the personal iCatt page (Online registrar - Final Examination - Graduation Application - by clicking the "Revocation" button).

For a subsequent graduation session, a new application for admission to the final examination must be submitted with a €16 stamp duty 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).
