If you have not yet registered on the portal, register or, if you already have your credentials, log in.
Choose the date of the test, upload the required documentation and pay the registration fee (€ 60).
A few days before the test, you will receive instructions and credentials to access the platform by e-mail.
The test is in Italian and has a maximum duration of 150 minutes, consisting of 80 questions divided into thematic areas:
- 40 questions on Language Competence and Logical Reasoning
- 20 questions on Literary, Historical-Social, and Geographical Culture
- 20 questions on Mathematical-Scientific Culture
If you are eligible, you can reserve your place by paying the first instalment of university fees via the Enrolment Portal.
In the event of an internal transfer, transfer, second degree or resumption of career, you must also pay the secretarial fees and upload the signed application form.
The place is reserved only after the validation of the documentation.
After graduating, complete enrolment within the deadlines.
At this stage, you will be asked for your baptismal certificate. If you do not have one, you can submit replacement documentation by choosing from these possibilities:
If you have been baptized but cannot find the original certificate, you can fill out a self-certification.
If you have not been baptized, you can make an appointment for an interview with the pastoral assistant on campus. After the interview, you will receive a valid certificate as replacement documentation. In case you have already made an appointment but are still waiting for the interview, you can temporarily submit a self-certification attesting to this situation.
Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI)
The Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI) is a compulsory test for all students enrolled in the first year of an undergraduate degree programme or an integrated degree programme.
For the Primary Teacher Education programme, the VPI is included in the admission test.
The VPI serves to assess your initial level of preparation and offer you useful suggestions for approaching your university studies with greater awareness.
The VPI is passed with a score of at least 20/40 in the linguistic competence and logical reasoning section of the admission test.
If you score less than 20/40, you will be assigned an Additional Educational Obligation (OFA) to make up for the knowledge gaps identified.
Any assignment of OFA will be communicated with the publication of the admission test results and also after enrolment on the personal iCatt page.
Provide income data
Finally, don't forget to enter your income data by the end of November, using the "Compile income" application, accessible from your personal iCatt page.
