The final grade is determined  by the Graduation  Examining Committee that evaluates the overall average grade of all the exams that you have passed, on a scale of 110

As a general rule, the Graduation Examining Committee can add up to a maximum of 5 points, taking into consideration:  

• evaluation of the Final Project (written essay);
• number of years it took you to complete your studies;
• if you attended a degree programme partially or entirely taught in English;
• other information about the course of study (for instance, the number of exams passed with honours, experiences abroad, extracurricular activities etc.).

If the you reaches the score of 110/110, the Graduation Examining Committee can decide to confer the degree with final honors (cum laude). The decision must be taken by qualified majority: at least 2/3 of the Committee members must vote in favor of awarding this distinction (see the Regulations of every degree programme).

The Graduation  Examining Committee is required to determine the final grade taking in consideration the student’s overall participation in the degree programme: it should evaluate the student’s  cultural maturity and competence in intellectual elaboration, as well as the quality of the work carried out for the composition of the Final Project.

When calculating the weighted average, Politecnico takes into account only the credits that you have accrued for graded exams (pass-or-fail exams are excluded from this calculation).

The value is calculated as follows:
a)  sum the products given by the grade of each exam multiplied by its credits;
b)  divide a) by the sum of all credits:
 (Grade1 x Credits1) + (Grade2 x Credits2) + (Grade n x Credits n)                  
 (Credits 1 + Credits 2 + Credits n)       

The number obtained with this formula is the Average grade expressed on a scale of 30.
If you want to obtain the score expressed on a scale of 110: Average grade expressed on a scale of 30 x 110/30

Exams passed with honors do not have an impact on the Average grade.

The Average grade is calculated on ALL the exams with a grade, to the second decimal place; there is no rounding. The Average grade is transmitted to the Graduation Examining Committee.
