FAQ

How can I find out if the registration for the admission test has been successful?
Registration for the admission test has been successful when the status of the application is "Waiting for admission test".  

Has the payment of the registration fee for the admission test been successful?
The payment of the registration fee for the test has been successful when it has been ascertained by the University and the status of the application is "Waiting for admission test".

Why does the documentation I have uploaded remain "Under evaluation"? Am I enroled in the test?
It is correct that the documentation is "under evaluation" overall, because only documents useful for verifying the possession of the requirements for participation in the test or for the calculation of the score (e.g. report cards and certifications) are validated before the admission test. The passport photo, identity document, etc. can also be validated after the place has been reserved.

The documentation I uploaded is "Invalid". Am I enroled in the test?
It depends on which type of documentation is "Invalid":
English language certification (for English language courses): the language requirement is mandatory, you cannot participate in the test.
As an alternative to language certification, you can take the "English Test" provided by our University Language Service (SELDA) on one of the available dates and by the test registration deadline.
Language/informatics/occupational certification: if it is "Invalid" until the deadline to register for the entrance test, you will not be awarded the additional score.
School reports (for courses for which a minimum grade point average of the penultimate year of high school is required): if it is "Invalid" up to the registration deadline for the admission test, you cannot participate in the test.
Report cards (for courses for which report card grades contribute to your final score): if they remain "Invalid" up to the test registration deadline, you may participate in the test with the minimum score (6 in all subjects).
Photo, ID document, fiscal code(tax ID), residence permit: validation does not affect registration and participation in the test.

What does the admission test consist of? How long does it last? How can I prepare?
You can find the information on the course page: Course Admission Procedures, Instructions for the Online Admission Test, Simulations and Exercises.

Where and when does the test take place? What do I need to bring with me?
You can find the information you need on the course page (see Programme Admission Procedures and Admission Test Instructions).
You will receive an invitation by e-mail in the days before the test.
For recognition you must have a valid identity document (Identity Card, Passport, Driving License) with you.

When and where are the test results published?
You can find the expected dates for the publication of the results in the Admission Procedures for the programme you are interested in.
The results of the test can be consulted by clicking on the "List of tests" tab of the Enrolment Portal. If you are successful, the status of your application becomes "Eligible for Enrolment" and you can reserve your place.

Can I repeat the test if I fail?
It depends on the programme you wish to enrol in: please refer to the Admission Procedures of the programme you are interested in.

Is it possible to register for more than one admission test at Università Cattolica?
Yes, you must respect the admission procedures and deadlines for each course, check the Programme Admission Procedures.

I am eligible, do I definitely get the place? How much time do I have to reserve a place?
If you are eligible, you must reserve your place in accordance with the deadlines set out in the Admission Procedures for the programme of your choice, subject to availability of places.  

I am interested in both the English and Italian programmes, do I have to take two tests? Are the contents the same?
For the Faculty of ECONOMICS: it is possible to register for only one test; the test in English is valid for Enrolment in all the programmes of the Faculty (while the test in Italian is valid for Enrolment in the programmes of the Faculty taught in Italian). The contents of the two tests are the same, only the language of the test changes.

I need to upload my high school reports but I can't find them. What do I do?
For the Faculty of ECONOMICS: you can also upload the screenshot of the electronic register.
If you do not have it and your school cannot issue report cards, you must declare for all subjects the minimum grade (6/10) and upload a self-certification stating that you do not have the report cards.
For OTHER Faculties: the report card is mandatory in order to participate in the admission tests dedicated to those who have a certain minimum average in the penultimate year of high school.

I need the school report of my 4th high-school year to register for the entrance test, but I did my 4th year abroad. What documents can I submit?
You can upload your 4th year report card with the converted grades from your Italian school to the Enrolment Portal, or the 3rd year report and a self-certification stating that you do not have the 4th year report abroad with the converted grades from your Italian school: the average grade from the 3rd year is taken into account.

I have completed my 4th year of high school abroad and I want to enrol in a programme taught in English, what should I do?
You must declare in the Enrolment Portal in the section "Extracurricular certifications", "Declaration of 4th year abroad", that you have completed the 4th year abroad, only if in an English-speaking country.

The result is automatically recorded on the Enrolment Portal and is visible in the "List of Tests" section.

Why is my language/computer science certification "Invalid" if I have never uploaded it? (Only for the Faculty of ECONOMICS)
Because you have declared that you have a language/computer science certification in the "Extracurricular certifications" section. If you have the certification, you must upload it, otherwise no points will be awarded.  

I am also interested in another course in the Faculty of ECONOMICS but the system does not allow me to open a second application. What can I do?
You can only open one application because there is only one registration form for the test: the test in English is valid for all the courses of the Faculty of Economics; the test in Italian is valid for all Faculty of Economics programmes taught in Italian.

Is it possible to change the programme I have chosen for the Faculty of ECONOMICS admission test? Is there a deadline?
Yes, it is possible using the "Modify course" tab. The test taken in English is valid for all programmes in the Faculty of Economics. The test taken in Italian is valid for all Faculty of Economics programmes taught in Italian. The modification is possible until the end of the registration for the test. It will be possible to change it again before reserving the place, subject to availability of places on the desired programme.

Is the English certification compulsory? Do language certifications count? Which ones are valid for the test? By when must I have them? (Only for Faculty of ECONOMICS)

The date will be visible on your personal iCatt page, in the "My appointments" section.

Is it possible to take the VPI on a date other than the one I was assigned? Can I change it?
You can change the date from your personal iCatt page within eight days of the date you were automatically assigned.  

I am a student with disabilities or SLD, can I take the VPI with the help of compensatory tools?
Yes, by contacting Inclusion Services in a timely manner.

Is the test online?
Yes, the test is online. The application used is QMP – Question Mark Perception. You will be sent a link before the test and you will have to connect via Teams with the person in the virtual classroom for recognition. In the classroom you will be given the information to access QMP and the password to take the test.

When and where will the VPI results be visible?
The results of the VPI will be visible from the Monday following the day you took the test, on your personal ICatt page.

I took the test but at the end of the test a white screen appeared. What do you mean?
The white screen appears when the allotted time runs out.

I took the VPI test and at the end of the test the message "failed test" appeared. What should I do?
The outcome "failed test" indicates that the minimum threshold required for passing the test has not been reached . One or more OFAs will be assigned depending on the subject areas for which the minimum threshold has not been reached. 

I have taken the VPI, but on my iCatt page I see the result "Not fulfilled". What does it mean?
The VPI was carried out but the result was negative. One or more OFAs will be assigned depending on the subject areas for which the minimum threshold has not been reached. 

Is it possible to view the test I have taken?
The VPI can only be viewed in the event of a negative result. To make an appointment, you can write from your iCatt page - "Information request" by selecting "VPI and OFA" as the topic.

What is the Additional Training Obligation (OFA)?
If you are absent from the VPI or do not pass it, you will automatically be assigned additional courses called OFAs (Additional Educational Obligation).
You can view any OFAs you have been assigned in the "Blackboard courses" section of your iCatt page.

I have been assigned OFA, but iCatt shows that the course is not active. What should I do?
Go to your personal iCatt page and click on "Blackboard courses ", or "Courses" >"Bb courses ". Once you have followed the procedure, you will be able to view all the necessary information.
If there are no active OFA sessions available, the system will update the page with the new dates. 

I forgot to register for the OFA final exam, am I still in time?
The professor/lecturer of reference may authorise Enrolment in the OFA final examination if course attendance is equal to or higher than 70%. 

I have received notification of the recording of the grade for the OFA exam, but I cannot find my grade. Who can I contact?
The assessment and recording of the final examination is the direct responsibility of the OFA course professor. In any case, you will not be awarded a grade, but in the event of a positive result, an "Approved" grade. Please contact the professor/lecturer by e-mail.
If you no longer have your PIN, please contact us using this form.
