The average grade calculation (GPA) will be carried out by the Student Administration Office, as the office will be in charge of drafting the graduation report.

The final mark is determined by the Examination Board during the thesis defense and will take into account the average of all exams marks as reported in the student’s career.
The Examination Board usually assigns a score from 0 to 5 points to the average transformed into /110.
The exam is deemed to be passed with a minimum grade of 66/110. In the case of a maximum grade (110/110), the Board may also grant a distinction (lode) by unanimous decision.
The Examination Board may bestow a higher score to thesis of “greater effort” (maggior impegno), i.e. dissertation which is judged particularly relevant by the advisor for its results and scientific value. In this case the Examination Board may add approximately up to 7 points to the average transformed into /110.
The request for the thesis of "greater effort" can be addressed only by the Thesis Supervisor to the Director of Studies.
