The exam session and final examination deadline for a.y. 2021/22 has been extended to 15 June 2023 (Decree-Law No. 316 Prot. no. 62200 of 7 March 2023).
If you were unable to graduate in March due to issues related to the pandemic, you can submit a graduation application for the extraordinary session, but only if you are enrolled regularly, “fuori corso” (past envisaged completion time for the degree course) or as a repeating student in a.y. 2021/22 in the last year of a full-length degree programme.
You are only eligible for this extension if your study plan was complete and you fulfilled all attendance requirements by the end of a.y. 2021/22. More specifically, if you are enrolled regularly, “fuori corso” (past envisaged completion time for the degree course) or as a repeating student in a.y. 2021/22 in the second year and, by the end of the academic year, you included in your study plan all the learning activities provided for in your degree programme in order to take the exams and graduate.
If you have to take exams in order to meet all the necessary requirements, please contact the teacher in question directly. Remember that the deadline for the requirements is the 21 April.
If you are a student required to take a University Language Centre language test, you can find the scheduled test date on the CLA website: a language test will be organised exclusively for students who submitted a graduation application for the extraordinary graduation session. All information about the test and the scheduled date can be found on the CLA website.

Please note: this is not an early session of a.y. 2022/23. If you are enrolled in a.y. 2022/23 in the last year of a full-length degree programme, you are not eligible for this extension.
If you are eligible for this extension, from 31 March you must go to Studenti Online and select the extraordinary session. The dates of the session for most degree programmes are as follows:
The graduation session (if scheduled) will be held from 22 to 30 May
Remember that if you have paid your tuition fees for a.y. 2022/23, you are entitled to a refund that will be processed after your graduation.
The final examination consists of writing a dissertation on a subject related to your studies, developed in an original way, and to its public presentation and defense to a Graduation Board. The Board, having taken into consideration the presentation and your curriculum will decide the final grade, which will be announced at the end of your presentation. In order to be admitted to the graduation session, you must have earned the credits from all of the modules and learning activities except the “final exam”. You can choose different graduation sessions, according to when you manage to finish your exams: July, October, December, or March. The earlier you graduate, the more bonus points you may be awarded (please refer to the specific information about the graduation grade).

Before the indicated deadline, you must:
You have to upload your dissertation in .pdf format (max 30 MB) in the appropriate section of your online application. It is not possible to upload any file after the deadline: if you do not manage to upload tour work within the required terms, you will not be allowed to graduate in the chosen session. Again, please check that your actual dissertation title and that you indicated in the application title do correspond.
Your supervisor will formally approve your work within 3 days since the upload deadline. Please check the state of approval of your dissertation and contact your supervisor if needed.
NB We strongly recommend you apply for graduation and insert online your dissertation title when such title is actually final and not provisional, or anyway, to edit it before the supervisor's approval.
The defence of your thesis includes your presentation and the questions you will be asked on it by the admission board. Typically, the session covers more than one day. Students are generally informed about the exact date of their defence and the composition of the Final Examination Board one week in advance through their @studio.unibo.it e-mail address. Such information will also be available on your www.studenti.unibo.it in the section called “Graduation”.
