Classes in English – Humanities / Science/ Single modules
Attendance is compulsory for at least 70% of the lessons. Each teacher manages attendance for their classes, keeping a register and deciding whether to admit a student to the final exam according to their number of absences.
The tolerance threshold for absences, at the teacher’s discretion and based on the student’s overall performance, is 5%.
Excused absences are not counted when determining final average attendance.
This category only includes absences due to health reasons (for which the student must provide medical evidence) or force majeure.
Absences due to force majeure can only be related to the following circumstances:
- Appointment at the police headquarters to get a residence permit.
- Other appointments for bureaucratic or academic purposes that cannot be postponed.
- Serious personal reasons.
For all other cases, absences will not be excused.
Absences must be reported no later than 24 hours after the lesson by writing to the teacher’s e-mail address. Absences reported after this deadline will not be excused.
The teacher’s decision is final.
Italian Classes
The classes are organized in levels and have a duration of 60 hours each (50 hours of classroom teaching + 10 hours of online self-study on the Moodle platform with specially prepared teaching materials).
Attendance is compulsory.
To take the final test at the end of each class, students must have attended at least 70% of their class and completed the online self-study activities on Moodle. Therefore, a maximum of 15 hours of absence is allowed out of a total of 50 hours. The self-study activities must be completed by the day that will be communicated by the Student Secretariat at the beginning of each class.
Absences can be excused if due to health reasons (for which the student must provide medical evidence) or force majeure.
Absences due to force majeure can only be related to the following circumstances:
- Appointment at the police headquarters to get a residence permit.
- Other appointments for bureaucratic or academic purposes that cannot be postponed.
- Serious personal reasons.
Absences must be reported no later than 24 hours after the lesson by writing to cli@cli.unipi.it. Absences reported after this deadline will not be excused.
No certificates will be awarded at the end of the courses. The results achieved will be reported to the Foundation Course coordinators and included in each student’s “Transcript of Records”.
