Otherwise, you will be assigned an OFA to be recovered after enrolment and by September 30th 2025. After that date you will not be able to take the final exam of any area prior to the OFA fulfilment.
In case of admission to Business administration and management curriculum and Economics, markets and finance curriculum English language proficiency at level B2 must be attested at the time of enrolment: visit the language requirements webpage to consult the list of recognized language certifications and the exemption requirements. Students who fail to certify B2 proficiency in English will not be eligible for enrolment.
Students who enrol in a subsequent year to their first one (e.g. change of University, change of degree programme within Ca’ Foscari, enrolment with credit recognition) must have fulfilled the Additional Learning Requirements (OFA) by the time of the enrolment. It is not possible to take any exam until the OFA has been fulfilled, including the CLA B1 English test which allows students to fulfil the English language OFA.

No, you can take the test in Italian but you will have to certify a B2 level of knowledge of English.
If I take the TOLC-E test more than once, which result will be considered?

I have read the FAQ but I still don’t understand, can you give me an example?
Imagine that there are 10 places for your 1st choice and 10 places for your second choice: considering your grade, you are put into 13th place for your 1st choice and 7th place for your second choice: this means that you will be put in your 2nd choice subject because you are in a position of acceptance (7/10). It means that you will not be put in your 1st choice subject because you are not in a position of acceptance (13/10).
Can I edit the data inserted in the questionnaire whilst I am filling in the application form for Ca’ Foscari’s selection process?
No, the questionnaire cannot be modified: if you have put in incorrect data, send a request by accessing the link: www.unive.it/faqsforstudents.
