OFA - Additional Learning Requirements
What is it?
OFA is an Italian acronym which stands for “Additional Learning Requirements”. This makes sure that university students do not have any pronounced deficits in subjects that must be thoroughly grasped, due to the very nature of the degree programme.
To attend ETAC it is important to know some basic mathematics, therefore students will be asked to prove their Mathematics skills based on Mathematics section of the SAT.
Students who do not reach a score of 400 in the maths sections of the test will be assigned an OFA.
How do I fullfill my OFA?
As stated in the academic regulations, students who have been tasked with an additional learning activity (OFA) must pass a compulsory OFA test not later than March of the following year of enrolment. Until that date, students who did not fulfill the OFA requirement will be conditionally enrolled in the 2nd year. They will be able to present their study plan but will not be allowed to take exams.
The student’s career will become active only after fulfilling the OFA, allowing the student to take exams of the 2nd year.
Students with OFA can practice for Mathematics exam in many ways: lectures attendance, practice exercises and visiting the professors during their office hours in order to organize a personal work to recover initial lacks.
