The analysis of the validation of CFUs taken at other degree programs is quite complex, it is performed by a special Commission and then discussed and approved by the Course of Study Council.
Reading that the analysis is performed by a special Commission that evaluates the validation request on a case-by-case basis, it should be noted that, as a general rule of recognition of exams derived from previous academic careers, usually the rule of comparing the number of CFUs and their SSD to which they belong is adopted. If they coincide, they are recognized. If they differ as the number of CFUs, a supplement is requested or, in case of redundancy, they are included among the CFUs of choice. It is therefore advisable to check this correspondence by consulting the History of Educational Regulations for Matriculated Cohorts.

The course evaluation questionnaire can only be completed online via the VALUTAMI platform.

To access the platform, it is necessary to log in using your University credentials. The system fully guarantees the anonymity of the evaluation, as it is designed to prevent any link between the authentication phase and the evaluation itself.

Completing the evaluation is mandatory in order to finalize online exam registration, as required by the National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research. To ensure that the collected data is as complete and meaningful as possible, it is recommended that attending students fill out the questionnaire before the end of the classes or immediately after their conclusion, regardless of whether they are registering for exams.
