Every student regularly enrolled at Politecnico can register for the IELTS exam sessions organized by the CLA in collaboration with the association of companies composed of IDP EDUCATION CANADA Lt. and INTERNATIONAL HOUSE srl. You cannot register for these IELTS exam sessions if:

• you are a foreign student enrolled in single courses within the framework of a mobility project
• the date of your desired IELTS exam is not included in the academic year in which you are currently enrolled
• a hold has been placed on your academic progress (nota bloccante)

    It is the student's responsibility to decide whether to register for the IELTS exam or not.

By the deadline of each exam session given in the calendar.

You will receive an email confirming your registration / modification / cancellation in your Polito mailbox. 
PLEASE NOTE: check that you have received the confirmation email (if not your registration may not have been completed successfully). When the registration time frame comes to an end, the registration link will no longer be available and you will not be able to modify or cancel your registration for the exam session.
