Exams missing on the online system are usually one-year courses. The final exam for such courses (i.e. language courses) must be sat in the Summer exam session. International Incoming students who will leave before the Summer session are allowed to sit a partial examination in the Winter session and obtain half of the credits, only if authorised in advance by the Teacher of the subject. In such case, if you sit the partial exam in the Winter session and then decide to extend your stay, you will not be able to sit the exam again in the Summer session, so please make a final decision beforehand. If you decide to sit the partial exam in the Winter session, please send an e-mail to the Professor and to the above mentioned offices organizing the partial exam. In this particular case, the exam will be recorded on a paper document called Verbale d'esame and NOT online. The Verbale d'esame is the official document that keep track of the exams taken by the student. The Professor completes and signs the Verbale d'esame, and the student countersigns it. After the exam, the Professor hands in the document to the Student Secretary for official registration in the online booklet (in Italian libretto universitario online).
