DeterminING the final grade
The final grade is determined by the Graduation Examining Committee which evaluates the overall average of the exams on a scale of 110 after having subtracted the 16 worst credits. This number is proportionally reduced if some of your exams have been validated without a grade.
The weighted average grade is calculated on ALL graded exams (pass-or-fail exams are excluded from this calculation).
The weighted average grade is calculated as follows: 
a) Add 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)

In order to obtain the score expressed on a scale of 110:  verage grade on a scale of 30 x 110/30. 
Exams passed with honours do not have an impact on the average grade.
The Average grade is calculated on ALL graded exams to the second decimal position; there is no rounding. This average grade is sent to the Graduation Examining Committee.      

As a general rule, during the Final Examination the Graduation Examining Committee can add up to a maximum of 5 points to the average grade, taking into consideration:  
  • the evaluation of your Final Project (if any);
  • the number of years it took you to complete your studies;
  • if you have attended a degree programme partially or entirely taught in English;
  • other information about your course of study (for instance, the number of exams passed with honours, your experience abroad, your extracurricular activities etc.).
If you enrol in Year 1 at Politecnico (starting from a.y. 2022/2023 onwards)and pass the following exams:
  • first-year courses (excluding the English language exam)
  • core courses offered in the first semester of Year 2 
by the end of the examination session which immediately follows the semester when you attended the course for the first time, you will get a bonus. More information is available in this chapter.

You may be awarded a degree with honours (cum laude) in accordance with the Regulations of your degree programme.
