Grading system In the Italian grading system, the possible grades for an exam are typically 18, 19, 20, ..., 28, 29, 30, 30 e lode (i.e., 30 with distinction: this is the highest possible grade), Fail. But for laboratories/workshops, the possible grades are just Pass, Fail (Idoneo, Non idoneo in the Italian terminology). Therefore, by passing the exam for such a course, the student does not earn a grade between 18 and 30 e lode, but still earns the ECTS assigned to the course.

Accepting / rejecting grades, and retaking an exam By taking an exam in December 2025, for instance, the student receives one of the grades above.

• In case the student passes the exam (i.e., receives a grade of 18 or higher than 18), the student will be required to accept or reject the grade through the SOL/GCS website. If the student accepts the grade, then the exam is registered as passed. If the student decides to reject the grade, then such a grade is definitely invalidated and the student will have to retake the exam in January-February 2026, or in June 2026, or later, which allows for the possibility of a different outcome/grade for the exam.
• In case the grade is Fail, the student can retake the exam at any successive date in which the exam is scheduled, that is up to three times in January-February 2026, once in June 2026, once in August-September 2026, and then in the successive dates in which exam is scheduled, starting from December 2026.

Registering to take an exam

In order to register to take an exam, please enter the website SOL/GCS described here. Registering is possible between 14 days before the exam date and 3 days before the exam date.

Before registering to take an exam it is necessary to fill in a questionnaire about the evaluation of the course.

A student may register to take an exam not included in their study plan by following these instructions. But in order to enter the student's career, the exam will have to be inserted in the student's study plan, which may require approval by the professors in charge of study plans.
