English OFA
An English OFA (Additional Educational Obligations) is assigned when, taking into account only the English section, the number of correct answers is less than 24.
Candidates enrolling in programmes delivered in English will automatically be assigned an English OFA.
There are some limitations for the study plan of enrolling students who have been assigned an English OFA.
For more information and how to fulfil English OFAs see the page OFA ENG.
Italian OFA
If you are an international student enrolled in the Three-year Laurea programme (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in Civil Engineering - EN, you must sit an Italian proficiency test and you will be enrolled with an Italian OFA.
You must demonstrate your Italian language proficiency before sitting your final degree exam and finishing your study programme.
Certain categories of students may be exempted from demonstrating their proficiency in Italian.

How the rankings work
For access to the second enrolment phases, special rankings will be drawn up for allocating the available places, calculated on the basis of enrolments made in the previous phases.
The rankings are based on the best TOL scores, considered to the second decimal place, and recorded within the deadlines , and on the basis of the preferences expressed by all candidates.
The ranking of candidates is established on the basis of their scores and the order of preferences expressed.
In case of a tie in test scores, the highest score achieved in the "Reasoning, Mathematics and Statistics" section of the TOL test prevails; if the tie still persists, the highest score achieved in the "Verbal Comprehension" section prevails; in the case of a further tie, the highest score achieved in the "Physics" section prevails; finally, in the event of a further tie, the youngest student prevails.
