Credit recognition procedure

The procedure for enrolment with credit recognition from a previous academic career, intra-university or inter-university transfer, involves the evaluation of your previously completed exams and the subsequent issuance of a credit recognition form.

The Ca' Foscari University, according to the European directives that norm the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), recognises equivalence: 1 CFU = 1 ECTS.

If you are recognised with more than 47 CFU, you must request admission to the second or third year of this degree programme. Therefore, consult the communication at the top of this webpage.

You may enrol in a Degree Programme requesting accreditation for the following previous studies and training activities:

  • Bachelor's Degrees or Master's Diplomas;
  • incomplete University studies as a result of withdrawal, lapsed status;
  • single courses;
  • Internship/traineeships/previous employment;
  • simultaneous enrolment.

The year of enrolment is determined on the basis of the number of University Credits (CFU) you have been awarded:

  • Up to 47 CFU: admission to the 1st year. You have to take the TOLC-E exam and register to Ca’ Foscari selection. You will refer to the study plan for the a.y. 2025/2026.
  • From 48 CFU: you must request admission to the 2nd or 3rd year of this bachelor's degree programme. Therefore, consult the communication at the top of this webpage.

Credits will be recognised according to the Linee guida per riconoscimento CFU [ITA] (CFU Recognition Guidelines).

Activities recognised through a completed Master's degrees or Master's diplomas will not affect the final grade. However, activities recognised from single courses or from an incomplete university career resulting from withdrawal, expiration, or transfer will be taken into account for grade point average.

Enrolment with credit recognition is subject to the fee payment of 300.00 euros: the payment invoice will be provided upon confirmation of enrolment.

You are not obliged to pay if you request credit recognition from activities undertaken previously at Ca' Foscari (for example single courses) if the code of the lectures corresponds to that required by the study plan. In the case that some lectures do not fall among those included in the study plan, and consequently are listed among those that can be chosen by the student, you will have to pay the 300.00 euros fee.

Enrolment with credit recognition is not allowed to students concurrently enrolled in another University degree programme and for which suspension has been requested.

Students cannot request an intra-university or inter-university transfer for admission to the first year. If you have been recognised with fewer than 48 CFU, you must register for the Ca' Foscari selection and sit the TOLC-E test. If you are admitted, you will be required to withdraw from your current degree programme and proceed with a new enrolment.

Credit recognition form request

From April 7th, 2025, candidates who want to get admitted in the first year and need the credit recognition form can submit their request to the relative Campus, filling in the specific form.

As specified in the call for applications, the request must be submitted at least 15 days before the enrolment deadline. During the enrolment procedure, candidates must upload their credit recognition form, approved by the Teaching Committee and duly signed.

You are required to upload the following documents:

  • signed self-certification form listing exams. Please indicate for each exam: the name of the Course of study and class code, the name of the University, the name of the courses taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS), the mark and the exam date. This document might be available in your University Reserved Area: if it is not available or, if all the required data is not listed, you may use the forms on this page;
  • any exam syllabus in your possession.

Requests for credit recognition are to be submitted to the Campus. The Teaching Committee will evaluate your request.  Once approved, the credit recognition form will be sent to you via e-mail. Please remember to sign the form.

Credit recognition forms for Ca’ Foscari activities

Candidates who wish to request credit recognition exclusively for activities carried out at Ca' Foscari, with the same course code as in their current study plan (e.g., single courses attended at Ca' Foscari), can fill in the recognition form themselves and attach it, duly signed, during the enrolment procedure.

Credit recognition forms for activities completed at Ca’ Foscari will be available by April 7, 2025.
