Failure to complete the OFA will prevent access to second year exams.

Rules for Business Economics students:

The Student Admin Office communicates the outcome of the test via ticket, based on the criteria established in the VPI test regulations.

If the result of the oral and mathematical comprehension tests is positive, the student has the results of both tests recorded in his /her student transcript of records.

If one or both tests are failed, one or more OFAs (remedial requirements) are set.

The Department organizes courses to satisfy remedial requirements.

At the end of the aforementioned courses, it is possible to recover the credits in one of the following ways:

• passing the part / parts in which remedial requirements have been established, through re-taking the VPI test.

• passing the exams established by the Test Commission (Mathematical Methods 1 for the logical-mathematical part, Public Law or Private Law for the text comprehension part).

Taking the Initial Skills Assessment Test (Tolc-E) is MANDATORY also for those who pass the exams of Mathematical Methods 1 / Public Law / Private Law and obtain recognition of the two qualifications in the transcript.

For those who obtain registration of the two qualifications in the transcript, enrolment in the second year of the course is regular.

For those who do not obtain registration of one or both of the two qualifications by the end of the first year of enrolment, it is not possible to take second year exams until this situation is resolved.

   ​​​​​The Student Admin Office will insert a € 16 stamp duty on your personal On Line Services page, to be paid as soon as possible. In the absence of payment, the request will not be processed.

To purchase single courses, in compliance with the terms set out in the Student Handbook and Fees Booklet:

1. fill out the Single Course Registration Form and scan / photograph it;
2. scan / photograph the front and back of an identity document;
3. prepare a file in jpg or jpeg format with your photo (face only); you don't need to paste the photo on the form as well;

Your subscription will be fully active only after payments.

If you have finished the normal duration of your course (or the part-time option) and you plan to graduate by next 30/04, then regardless of whether you have finished your exams or not, you are not subject to paying the fees and not obliged to enrol in the upcoming academic year

In this case, you will be considered ex officio ENROLLED SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS: you do not pay, in the expectation of graduating by 30/4.

You do not need to fill out any forms, simply do not pay.

It is not possible to block the automatic uploading of fee requests, therefore, IF YOU RECEIVE EMAILS WITH THE SUBJECT "TAXES-UNIVERSITY-ISSUE NOTICE OF PAYMENT", IGNORE THEM.

As a precautionary measure, if you habitually used ISEE certification, obtain one in compliance with the provisions for the academic year entering from the Manifesto of Studies and Contribution; you will need this if you fail to graduate by 30/04.

At next 30/04, you will find yourself in one of these two situations:

• you will have graduated: you will not have to pay any fees, everything is settled.
• you will not have graduated: you will have to pay the tuition fees of the academic year (based on your ISEE, if you requested it within the terms indicated in the Student Handbook), with an additional fee of 150 € (the late payment will be a one-off if you simultaneously settle * all the payments already due on the date that you pay).

* All payments (overdue fees) must be made (and accounted for) on the same day, otherwise a late payment will have to be paid for each late payment, instead of the overall 150 €.
