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 webite. 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.
