Course attendance and timetables
Teaching at Politecnico is organized in two semesters. Full information on how classes are organized is available in the Chronological calendar and Thematic calendar. Official course timetables are available on the Teaching Portal - Student Services – Course timetables. You can also find the timetables of the courses you have included in your Annual Personal Study Plan on your personal page of the Teaching Portal.
Course attendance is not compulsory but strongly recommended to all students.
Politecnico di Torino believes in the importance of attending classes to gain the skills needed to achieve the learning objectives of its courses.
Exams and dates
At the end of each course, you are examined to verify if you have reached the expected learning outcomes. You can take an exam for the first time only after having added the corresponding course in your Annual Personal Study Plan (APSP) and only after the course has been delivered.
If you want to take an exam before the course is delivered, you need to ask for specific authorization from the teaching staff responsible for the course (this is the case if a course is offered in the second semester but you want to take the exam in the winter examination session before attending classes).You need to send a duly justified request through a guided procedure available on your personal page of the Teaching Portal – Online Services TAB – Exams portlet – Exam Schedule and Registration.The guided procedure will be available when exam registrations are open.
In some cases, you may not be allowed to take the exams of courses taught through video lectures before the course is actually delivered.Check the curriculum of your degree programme to verify if courses taught through video lectures are already available and when you can take the exams. You will find a symbol next to each exam.
You must register for your exams through the online guided procedure available on your personal page of the Teaching Portal. Exam registrations are computerized.
You must always be examined by the board of examiners chaired by the faculty member who has taught the course you were registered for (you are not allowed to take the exam with a different board of examiners). For courses offered during the current academic year, the board of examiners is chaired by the faculty member responsible for teaching that specific course.
When more than one faculty member teaches the same subject, you must be examined by the teaching staff who has taught your course. Students are assigned to a certain faculty member based on specific criteria (alphabetical order, course choice, degree programme, etc...).For courses already included in your past Annual Personal Study Plan: you must be examined by the faculty member who taught that course when you took it for the first time. You can check his/her name on your personal page of the Teaching Portal. If he/she does no longer teach that course, you will be assigned to another instructor.
When a course is discontinued (i.e, it is no longer offered by Politecnico), you can take the corresponding exam until the last examination session of the academic year following the year in which you took the course (next September). If you do not pass the exam before this deadline, you must replace it with a new course which is still on the course catalogue. The Collegio of your degree programme will provide guidance on this issue.
