STUDENTS

This page contains general information, for the guidelines of a particular faculty please refer to the specific webpages (menu on the left).

For the attainment of the Bachelor's Degree/Master's Degree it is planned the composition of an original dissertation realized by the student, under the guidance of a supervisor (see the instructions for the composition of the dissertation).

The graduation sessions will take place at the following branches of the University: Novedrate, Padua, Florence, Rome, Naples, Bari, Cagliari, Reggio Calabria, Catania and Palermo.

The dissertation for the Master's Degree must be publicly discussed during a sitting presided over by a specific Commission.

For the Bachelor's Degrees (except Science of Physical Activity and Biological Sciences) there will only be a proclamation during a public ceremony.

The Regulations define the terms and the modalities for the attribution of the dissertation and criteria for the identification of the supervisor.

Before proceeding, all students are required to consult order of service no. 8. on the crime of plagiarism, please note that the Compilatio software also detects suspicious plagiarism rates due to Artificial Intelligence.

The Faculties will enstablish a final dissertation calendary for each year.

In order to be admitted to the final dissertation the students must have passed all the exams or, in any case, must have obtained all the credits provided for in the didactic regulation for the activities different from the final dissertation and be up to date with the university fee. It is possible, however, to discuss a final dissertation within three months of the deadline of the last year.

The activities required in order to complete the procedure are the following:

• REQUEST FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF A SUPERVISOR: The Students may request a supervisor by completing and submitting the appropriate form to the Final Dissertations Helpdesk. Deadlines and requirements for the submission of the application form are defined by the regulations of each Degree Course.

Clarification the assignment of a supervisor:

• During the assignment process, the Final Dissertations Helpdesk assigns the Supervisor to the student by indicating a presumed graduation session, not taking into account the deadline of their annuity, but only the timeframe in which the student submitted the request for the Supervisor.

Thus, it may happen that the presumed date provided by the Final Dissertations Helpdesk is beyond the 90th day after the expiration of the annuity; this does not imply an "aprioristic authorization" to sit, without regularizing one's administrative position;

• The graduation session indicated by the Final Dissertations Helpdesk is always an assumed graduation session, because the student will have to carry out all the required administrative formalities and will have to receive authorization from the Supervisor to file the Application for Final Dissertation, in order to attend the graduation session.

• SUBMISSION OF THE DISSERTATION TITLE:

1) Once the students have received the assignment of the professor/supervisor from the SPORTELLO TESI DI FACOLTÀ (the academic office aimed at the assignment of the final dissertation), they must notify the professor via the internal messaging system within the deadlines set out in the academic calendar for the final dissertations.

2) Upon agreeing on the title of the final dissertation, the professor adds the student in the section related to the title of the final dissertation.

3) Through the messaging system the supervisor and the student must define the title of the dissertation.

4) Once the supervisor has added the student, the latter must access the portal with their personal credentials www.uniecampus.it and click on STUDENTI→SEGRETERIA STUDENTI→ LAUREA CONSEGUIMENTO TITOLO.

5) The student then must complete the form on the platform in all its parts (type of dissertation, title of the proposed dissertation, co-supervisor if applicable), confirming the data at the end of the process. Once the student has completed the process, the Professor-Supervisor approves the title of the dissertation.

• GRADUATION APPLICATION: Once the student has obtained the Supervisor's approval to deposit the degree application and the thesis, they must continue the process in the section of the portal dedicated to the graduation applications. First, they must submit the degree application, and then proceed to deposit the dissertation in the platform (final dissertation upload).

Please note that the form related to the choice of the branch of the University where the student wants to discuss the final dissertation, must be submitted at the same time.

The process will be considered complete when the supervisor proceeds to authorize the submission of the graduation application and the submission of the final dissertation.

At the end of the process, the student must send a registered letter to the Degree Office in Novedrate (Via Isimbardi 10 - 22060 CO), no later than the graduation application deadline as per the faculty calendar:

• two 16 euro revenue stamps;
• receipt of graduation application;
• receipt of payment of the secretarial fee of EUR 300;
• original copy of the FORM FOR THE CHOICE OF THE BRANCH

Specific information on preparing and printing the final paper is available by consulting the guidelines for the Final Dissertation

Clarification on Graduation Application and Deadlines:

• the student may proceed to file the Graduation Application Only if the students passed and duly recorded all exams and internship;
• the student may attend the graduation session only if the professor authorizes the submission of the graduation application and final dissertation.

Annual deadline for taking the final examination:

As provided for in the Student Regulations Article 11 paragraph 4. “A student who is in good standing with his or her administrative position and related secretarial fees will be able to take the final graduation examination by the 90th day following the expiration of his or her year, if:

a) has successfully taken all the examinations stipulated for the study plan at the time of submitting the application for graduation;

b) has completed, where applicable, the internship;

c) filed the title of the final dissertation subject of the final examination within the deadline.”

Regardless of the number of graduation sessions present within the 90-day period, a student cannot be automatically placed in a subsequent session, even if it is scheduled a few days after the 90th day deadline; therefore, it will be necessary to regularize their administrative position in advance.

All forms can also be found in the Forms page

One of the activities that must be done in order to graduate is to fill out the AlmaLaurea End-of-Course Questionnaire online, through which evaluations and judgments regarding the college experience that is about to end can be collected.

The opinions expressed by undergraduates and graduates, for whom full anonymity is guaranteed during data processing and analysis, are very useful for improving the teaching and training activities of the University.

Within the "Conseguimento titolo" section of the site., before filing the graduation application, you will be asked to log in to the AlmaLaurea portal to complete the questionnaire. Only then will the system allow you to continue with the procedure for filing the graduation application. This verification is done automatically. You can also download from the AlmaLaurea portal the receipt for completing the questionnaire, which, in special cases, may be requested by the Student Administration Office.

For information and technical support, the AlmaLaurea Interuniversity Consortium can be contacted. https://www.almalaurea.it/chi-siamo/contatti#studenti-laureati.

Therefore, all undergraduates are urged to log on to the Achievement of Degree section of the website and access the AlmaLaurea questionnaire in advance of the deadline for filing the graduation application.

The final examination is the direct verification of the achievement of the educational targets provided by the degree course.

The dissertation committee gives a comprehensive evaluation of the candidate, on the basis of the outcomes of the final examination, the academic career, the completion time, eventual academic transfers from another degree course or University, etc., through the application of specific rules, independently enstablished by each Faculty.

The weighted average takes into account both the grades and the credits, excluding the "qualified" results, each grade must be multiplied by the credites provided by the related exam, all the products thus obtained must be added, and the total must be divided by the sum of the graded exams; the result must be multiplied by '110', then divided by '30'.

The evalution of the Dissertation Committee is expressed in a 110 point-scale grading system.

The examination shall be intended as passed with a minimum of 66/110 points. In case of a maximum grade point (110/110), the Committee shall grant the "honors" by a unanimous decision.

The degree parchment shall be delivered to the student approximately a year from the graduation date. At the appropriate time, a notice message will be sent to the student by email at the last address provided by the student. However, it is possible to obtain a degree certificate already a few days after the completion of the final examination, accessing to the "Certificates" section of the reserved area of the eCampus portal.
