The exam timetable is scheduled in periods that do not coincide with the lectures. Each exam period consists of one or more sessions. The exam timetable allocates 4 exam sessions; 2 of them are scheduled after the teaching semester, the third and fourth sessions are considered as supplementary exam sessions. For foreign language courses and Computer Science/Computer Skills 5 exam sessions are scheduled.
Lectures are suspended at mid-semester in both the first and second semester for 1st partial exams. 2nd partial exams are held at the end of the semester. Partial exam dates may or may not coincide with those fixed for general exams.
Students can generally take exams in all sessions as long as they meet the attendance requirements (semester course lectures in the study plan must be finished). For some types of exams and for some courses, there can be some exam access limitations.
The exam periods and exam sessions (reference period: October 2020 - September 2021) are scheduled as follows.

(*) In the period 09-22 December 2020 an exam session open to all enrolled students is scheduled for 1/2 compulsory courses per CLMG year of studies. This replaces the January - first period - 2021 exam session which, as a consequence, will not be scheduled.
(**) For the compulsory courses and, compulsory courses chosen by the students, the second partial exam, if written, is generally scheduled in both sessions of the exam periods scheduled at the end of the teaching period.
As a consequence, for the course typologies above, a second partial exam is scheduled:
- with reference to the first semester, in the period 20 January to 3 February 2021 as an alternative to the one scheduled in the period 7 to 19 January 2021;
- with reference to the second semester, a second partial exam is scheduled in the period 14 June to 10 July 2021 as an alternative to the one scheduled in the period 19 May to 12 June 2021.
There are rules and limitations to access the exams. For all details check paragraph 4.5 Exam registration procedure.
Notes
- "session" refers to both the exams of the current academic year and the previous years;
- the fourth exam session for 2nd semester courses will be held in January - second period - 2022;
- exam sessions for the foreign language courses are scheduled for: October 2020; January - second period, June, July, August/September 2021;
- exam sessions for the Computer Skills for Law courses are scheduled for: October 2020; January - first period, January - second period, June and August/September 2021;
- if students choose a course relating to the Master of Science programs as an elective course, they must follow the exam calendar of such Study Program.
- A reserved exam session has been scheduled in December (9-22 December 2020), for 1st semester courses, open only to students who:
- are participating in: Exchange, Themis and Free Mover programs abroad in the 2nd semester 2020/2021 academic year;
- are Incoming 1st semester (Exchange, Themis and single courses for visiting students);
- are participating in curricular internships (including additional internships) abroad or in Italy in January/February 2021 period;
- are participating in the Moot Program (as participants or as a coach).
Please note the following for the reserved exam session:
• only those students whose teaching activities described in points 1, 3 and 4 can start before the end of the January - second exam period (3 February 2021) are admitted to participate in this session;
• students CANNOT sit exams for previous year's courses which have not been passed.
Due to the fact that second semester incoming students are supposed to sit all the exams by 31 May 2021, the Period IV exam session (19/05/2021-12/06/2021) is before that date. Should that not be possible, a reserved session for incoming students will be scheduled by 31 May 2021.
There is NO overlapping between compulsory course exam sessions of the same year and same degree program; therefore no two exams on the same day are usually scheduled except for December, January - second period - (20 January to 3 February 2021), March and August/September exam periods as the available exam days are limited. This overlapping rule refers only to compulsory courses of the year in which the student is enrolled and does not refer to previous years' exams which have not been passed yet.
