Oral defence and Graduation Ceremony
Every year (usually by the end of January) Politecnico publishes the annual schedule of its Graduation periods with the dates of the various sessions for the Oral defence and Graduation ceremony. 
After the closing date for registration for each Final Examination, the Secretariat of the Collegio of each degree programme draws up the official convocation notice with the names of the members of the Graduation Examining Committee, the date of the Oral defence, and other information about the Graduation ceremony. 
Graduands will be officially invited with a message displayed on their personal page of the Teaching Portal - My academic progress tab - News section. They will also receive an e-mail into their Polito mailbox. 
Graduands can find useful information to prepare the presentation at the following link: http://www.swas.polito.it/services/sim/consigli.asp. Specificdetails on the  systems installed in Aula Magna (AM), in Sala Emma Strada (SES), and at Auditorium dell’ Energy Center (AEC) are available on the General Notice Board
 
During the Graduation ceremony, the Chair of the Committee confers the degrees on the graduands (even in absentia of the candidates) who receive their degree parchments and are awarded the title of "Dottore o Dottoressa Magistrale in".
If a degree parchment has not been collected during the Graduation ceremony, it can be collected later (in person or by proxy) at the University Registrar and Tuition Fees Unit. Alternatively, graduates can ask the University to send their degree parchment by post following the instructions provided in the section Certificates.
