IMPORTANT
The placement test consists of two parts, a computer test followed by an interview with a Professor.
Practice tests are not available.
At the end of the interview, the teacher informs the student which course he or she would be eligible to enroll on the basis of the level obtained.
The results will be directly transmitted to the Department of Management, no additional activity is required for the participants.
Should the number of students that reach the score required for access in the placement test be equal or inferior to the number of available places for each course (taking into account the places reserved for the students of the previous levels), the students will be automatically registered to the course by the CLA according to the directions given by the Department of Management (DiSA), proven that confirmation of interest has been given by the students.
Should the number of students exceed the number of available places ((taking into account the places reserved for the students of the previous levels), a list of students will be assigned to every course. The list will depend on the date of placement test, and should two students have the same score, the younger candidate will have priority.
The students will be contacted by the Department of Management to obtain confirmation of their interest in attending the course.
The list will be scrolled in order to recover positions that become available.
Enrolment procedures will be handled by the CLA according to the directions given by the Department of Management (DiSA).
Should one or more courses not reach the minimum number of 10 students enrolled or according to the results of the placement test, the organization of the courses may be considered for reshaping, also in terms of the level of courses activated.
