The exams schedule is made public. The distance exams and graduation sessions are carried on in the Didactic Cyberspace, which is normally utilized for the teaching activities, to which the students and lecturers access by means of personal and confidential signing-in credentials. Specific interactive and audiovisual classes are created for each session.

Any candidate diagnosed with a specific learning disorder or with a certified disability is granted the delivery of distance exams and graduation sessions with the aid of the measures prescribed by the law while preserving confidentiality on their health conditions.

The student wishing to pass an exam remotely must prove his identity before the start of the exam or of the session, by showing a valid document using the video camera connected to his PC or by submitting a copy or picture of it to the lecturer through the UTIU’s electronic mailing system. In the case of submission of an identity document, the public session is temporarily suspended in order to keep the content of the document restricted to the lecturer and the student to be examined.  

The delivery of the distance exam and graduation sessions involves the treatment of the pictures and voice of the lecturers and of the students by computer-based tools and for the students event the treatment of the data included in their identity documents and in the e-mail sent to the Faculty Deanship’s Office, soon after the completion of the exam, including the decision to accept or not accept the exam grade communicated by the lecturer orally.
