Lessons take place according to the schedule of the study programme (Manifesto degli Studi). Activities begin in January and are concentrated on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Attendance is compulsory for at least 70% of the total hours of lessons. Participation to all scheduled activities is highly recommended. Lecturers verify attendance and define the examination modalities, informing each student at the beginning of the lessons.

There are two exam sessions (six rounds) and three graduation sessions per year. The academic calendar sets the periods of each semester, of the exam sessions and graduation sessions.
