Comprehensive written exams: accepting a mark or withdrawing  

The results of comprehensive written exams (‘esami scritti verbalizzanti’, i.e. tests with marks that can be automatically recorded without the student having to take further oral or written examinations and the corresponding marks to be recorded) are published by the relevant lecturer and notified directly to the student via an e-mail sent by Esse3.  

It is up to the student to accept the mark or withdraw from the examination within a deadline set by the lecturer (the deadline cannot be less than 4 days or more than 12 days from the publication of the result), following the steps indicated in the relevant guide.  

Once the deadline for accepting the mark or withdrawing from the exam session has expired, the lecturer may record the mark and the student will receive an e-mail sent by Esse3 informing them that the mark has been recorded in their Student exam record.  

The lecturer can record the mark even before the deadline if the student has already expressed their choice. 

If the student does not take any action, once the deadline for accepting the mark or withdrawing has expired, the lecturer will record the final module mark.
