Results and certificate collection

The results of the IELTS test of each date:

• are published on the IELTS website on the date indicated in the IELTS sessions calendar
• are NEVER released before that date
• the time of the publication depends exclusively on the Examination Board and it can be different for each date based on possible needs or problems encountered by the Examination Board.

IMPORTANT:

Sometimes the IELTS results are not published on the exact scheduled date if:

1. the Examination Board has any problems
2. your test needs to be checked again
3. you are suspected of misconduct during the test
4. you have been selected by the Cambridge main centre for a sample check on your application.

Please carefully read the Terms and Conditions: you must accept them during the IELTS registration.

We suggest you do not wait until the last IELTS session if you have other important academic deadlines (graduation, submission of mobility documents, etc.).

If you want to request an enquiry on results for one or more parts of the test, please contact the Examination Board at ih.ielts@ihmilano.it (payment is required).

More info about IELTS results at: To know before registering for the IELTS test page.

• After the IELTS results have been published on the IELTS website, for administrative reasons, Politecnico needs an appropriate amount of time in order to record these results in your transcript. In any case, the results are always recorded considering your academic deadlines
• the IELTS results are recorded automatically:
  • on your transcript of records if your IELTS overall score is in line with the requirements – in this case the “English language exam I level” is graded with a “pass”*
  • under your ”Personal details” – on your personal page of the Teaching Portal (Portale della Didattica) – “Online services” TAB – section “View your data and change your address” - if you are not required to pass an English language exam.

*Check the minimum score required by your degree programme in the relevant  Student Guide, section Foreign Language Learning - English Language - first year of enrolment.

If you have any doubts, please send a ticket to the Student Careers Unit.
