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. This convocation notice is published on the Bacheca Avvisi / Notice Board of each degree programme. Graduands will be officially invited with a message displayed on their personal page of the Teaching Portal - My academic progress tab - News section.
Graduands have the possibility to rehearse their oral presentation if they want to.
The calendar of technical rehearsals will be available on the Notice Board one week before graduation.
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 Magistrale". 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.
