The analysis of the recognition of ECTS credits earned in other degree programmes is quite complex. It is carried out by a dedicated Committee and subsequently discussed and approved by the Degree Programme Council.
It should be emphasised that the analysis is performed by the Committee, which evaluates each recognition request on a case-by-case basis. As a general rule for recognising exams from previous academic careers, the usual approach is to compare the number of ECTS credits and their corresponding disciplinary sector (SSD).
Credits are recognised if they match. If the number of ECTS credits differs, an integration may be requested, or in the case of an excess, they are included among the elective credits.
It is therefore recommended to verify this correspondence by consulting the Academic Regulations History for the relevant enrolment 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.
