OFAs (Additional Educational Obligations)

In order to start a university course of study, it is important to have some basic knowledge.

The Ministerial Decree n. 270/04 (art. 6, paragraph 1) assesses that students, in addition to the qualifications required by the current legislation, must also have adequate initial preparation to be admitted to a course of study.

The verification of this initial preparation aims at ensuring that there are no significant lacks in specific subjects.

If the examination shows gaps in one or more subjects, students must carry out some additional activities, called Additional Educational Obligations (OFA).

For the Degree and Master's Degree Courses with national or local programmed access, the assessment of any Additional Educational Obligation (OFA) is carried out by taking into account the score obtained in the admission test.

To all those students who do not provide at least 20% of correct answers in the admission test for one or more of the three subjects of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics it will be assigned an Additional Educational Obligations (OFA).

Students who find the Additional Educational Obligations (OFA) debt assigned in their Esse3 web university booklet must attend a remedial course, dispensed by the University through the e-learning platform, for the subject(s) for which they are in debt (e.g. Chemistry OFA = attend the OFA Chemistry Course).

The debt will be charged after the submission of the study plan and at the end of the enrollment procedures (December/January).

The remedial course takes place within the February exam session of the A.Y. of enrollment.

The course is accessible from the following addresses:

https://learn.univpm.it/course/view.php?id=24684 (CHEMISTRY)

https://learn.univpm.it/course/view.php?id=24685 (MATHEMATICS & PHYSICS)

Attendance of the remedial course, as defined by the Master’s Degree Course Regulations, is mandatory. The lack of attendance of the course precludes the access to exams of the 1st year.

The offices will verify the attendance of the remedial course on:

• January 28th, 2025,
• February 11th, 2025
• February 25th, 2025

After that they will proceed with the registration of eligibility in the booklet (only if the course has been 100% completed).

The course will be available starting from January 17th, 2025 - from 1:00 p.m.

Please note that the Erdis Call for Applications requires that any Additional Educational Obligation (OFA) has been met in order to receive the scholarship award.
