A course held in the first semester, first module, will have the first exam in the break week at the end of lectures in October and its second exam in the January-February session. The M.Sc program allows students to sit both exam sessions; this decision is not left to the Professor’s discretion.

The course’s third and fourth exam opportunities will be held in June-July (with the choice to sit one of the two,  decided by the CCdS and not left to the discretion of the Professor). The fifth exam will be held in September. In all, students will have five opportunities to take an exam during the academic year and a maximum of four times to sit it.

This also applies to an exam of the second module of the first semester, where the first exam opportunity is held in December, in the break week at the end of lectures. All else follows the schedule as seen above.

A course held in the second semester, first module, will have the first exam in the break week at the end of lectures in March and its second exam in the June-July session. Students are allowed to sit both exam sessions; this decision is not left to the Professor’s discretion.

The third exam opportunity will be held in September and the fourth and fifth dates will be in January-February, with the choice to sit one of the two. Nothing is left to the discretion of the Professors.

Should a student pass the mid-term of the first module  of a 12-CFU course, that grade can be kept and used only towards the exam held immediately following the end of the second module. That grade cannot be used in the second exam date; the exam will have to be passed in its entirety.

This scheme applies to all first and second year courses.
