Additional Learning Requirements (OFA)

Fulfillment of OFA in Mathematics/Matematica

If you have been assigned an OFA (Additional Learning Requirement) in Mathematics/Matematica, you will not be able to take any exam related to the business, economics or mathematics-statistics-IT area before its fulfilment. In the event that you will not fulfil the OFA before 1st October of the year subsequent to your enrolment, you will not be able to take the final exam of any area prior to the OFA fulfilment.

Five exam appeals for the OFA fulfilment are scheduled throughout the academic year. The first exam appeal is scheduled at the end of the related course. Other four exam appeals are scheduled at the end of each term.

For more information about the exam dates please see Study > Exams.

Courses for the OFA fulfilment

If you took an admission test and have been assigned an OFA, you are strongly advised to attend the related courses. Courses for the OFA fulfilment generally start on September/October of each academic year and the first exam appeal is scheduled right at the end of them. Attendance is not mandatory and you do not need to register in order to attend the course. However, please be reminded that you need to fill in your study plan and register for the final exam.

Details regarding classes and contents of the OFA fulfilment courses are published at the webpage Study > Timetable > Precorsi.

Bachelor students who have not been assigned an OFA and wish to improve their background knowledge in mathematics are encouraged to attend the OFA courses as well.

You might be interested in attending the MOOC "Basic Mathematics" in order to enrich or consolidate your mathematical skills. All the information is available on the dedicated webpage Massive Open Online Courses.

Exemptions from the OFA requirements

Students are exempted from taking the OFA exam in Mathematics:

  • if they obtained credit recognition for at least 3 ECTS in mathematics when enrolling;
  • if they took the TOLC-E admission test and got more than 5/13 in mathematics;
  • if they took the admission test organised by Selexi and got more than 5/13 in mathematics;
  • if they took the SAT or GMAT and got at least 535/800 in “SAT Math” or 42/60 in “GMAT Quantitative”. 

Italian OFA
for students enrolled prior to the a.y. 2017/2018

Since the academic year 2017/2018, the Italian OFA is no longer required, as such skills are considered as acquired with the fulfillment of the student’s study plan. If you enrolled before the academic year 2017/2018 and have not passed the Italian OFA test yet, you will be automatically exempt from taking the exam once you will pass all the exams included in your study plan and submit your request to graduate.

Computer Science Qualification: Certification Recognition

The holders of the complete Expert license (all modules), of the ECDL - Profile (all modules), EIPASS progressive or of any MOS certificate (MOS Expert Word, MOS Expert Excel, MOS Specialist Access, MOS Specialist Powerpoint) are worth 6 ECTS in the place of the Elementi d'Informatica per L’Economia (Computer Science qualification - 5 ECTS for students within the "Vecchio Ordinamento" programmes.).

Registration will be carried out by the professor of the course, upon presentation of the student’s appropriate documentation. The final outcome will only be given as credits, there will be no grade, and therefore it will not change the student’s final average.

Under no circumstances will the qualification be offered to people with the Expert certificate (all modules), ECDL- Profile (all modules) or MOS, and those who have already passed the Elementi d'Informatica per L’Economia exam.
