The request is present during the TOLC-SU registration.
To access the degree programme, a basic understanding of Italian language and an understanding of English at level B1, at least, is required.
The TOLC-SU test operates as a verificationas of basic understanding of Italian language. If you achieve a mark lower than 10 in Italian language questions, you will be assigned an OFA to fulfill by September 30th 2025.
Regarding English language proficiency at level B1, you are exempt from verification if you have achieved one of the certifications listed or you meet the exemption requirements described at the language requirements webpage. 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.
Students that have enrolled in a subsequent year to their first, such as in cases of transfer, internal paths or enrolment with credit recognition, should have fulfilled the OFA by the time they are enrolled: they cannot take exams until they have fulfilled them nor may they participate in the eligibility tests organized for freshers.

If I take the TOLC-SU test more than once, which result will be considered?

Registration will be open from March 7th to September 12th 2024.
The procedure is completely online and requires the following steps:
Once you have concluded the pre-registration process you will receive a confirmation email to the email address stated in the registration process.
The candidates who will take the TOLC-SU and are regularly registered in the selection procedure will be assigned available places.
The candidate’s position in the ranking list depends on their results in the TOLC-SU as follows:
| Reading comprehension and knowledge of Italian language | OFA | Result |
|---|---|---|
| at least 10/30 | fulfilled | priority placing |
| less than 10/30 | not fulfilled | priority placing |
Candidates with fulfilled OFA will receive the notification of the place within ten working days after registration to the selection procedure at Ca’ Foscari. In that case you will have to accept your place following the modalities and deadlines once you will receive the confirmation email.
Candidates with unfulfilled OFA will obtain a place only after the candidates with a fulfilled OFA have enrolled and if there are remaining places. In that case, if you want to improve your score, you can take the test again within the deadlines.
Accepting your place coincides with registration and involves two steps:
If you do not pay before the deadline indicated above, you will lose the right to enrol: for questions on any aspect of the process, please contact the registration office before the deadline.
The first installment of university fees will not be refunded once the registration has been paid for and completed.
Candidates with fulfilled OFA who successfully placed in the ranking list will have to complete their enrolment application and to pay the first installment of tuition fees between July 1st and September 17th 2024.
Candidates with non fulfilled OFA who successfully placed in the ranking list from September 19th 2024 will have to complete their enrollment application and to pay the first installment of tuition fees before September 30th 2024.

Attention! If you are interested in applying to the International College, you must pay attention to the specific deadlines indicated in the call for applications.
Accepting the place and payment of the first installment does not mean that the student is automatically enrolled. Enrolment will be developed by the Enrolment Unit and communicated via email.

You are not obliged to pay if you request credit transfer 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 indicated in the study plan, and are thus entered as free exams, you will be have to pay the fee of 300.00 euros.
Enrolment with credit recognition is not allowed to students concurrently enrolled in another University course and for which suspension has been requested.

Self-certification form of withdrawal/forfeiture from studies and exams taken [ITA] | 5 MB |
Warning! For the request for internal transfer there is no need to attach the self-certification. However, remember to report any exams that are not yet recorded.
Please note that it is not possible for you to fill in the credit recognition form on your own, unless you require the recognition of exams previously taken at Ca’ Foscari; in this case, the exams must have the same course code listed on the study plan of the programme in which you are enrolling (e.g. recognition of single courses taken at Ca’ Foscari).
Should you wish to request accreditation exclusively for previous Ca’ Foscari activities that have the same teaching code you find in the study plan of the course you wish to enrol in (for example, requesting accreditation for individual courses studied at Ca’ Foscari), you may complete the Accreditation Form by yourself and attach it directly during the online Enrollment procedure.
