The VPI (Foundation Knowledge Assessment Test) is a compulsory test for all enrolled students in the first year of undergraduate and integrated degree programmes. It takes place online and is aimed at ascertaining that you have the basic knowledge necessary to successfully attend the degree programme you have chosen.
You can view the date of your VPI in the "Online Secretariat" - "Appointments" section of iCatt and change it, if necessary, up to 8 days before the originally scheduled date.
You will receive the convocation and operational information on the VPI organisation by e-mail at your @icatt.it address.
If you are absent from the test or you fail, you will automatically be assigned additional courses known as OFAs (Additional Training Obligations) which you must complete by the end of the first year of your degree programme so that you do not have to repeat the year if you continue your studies.
The academic bodies determine the content of the VPI and define the OFAs for each degree programme.
You will be able to view any OFAs you have been allocated in the 'Courses' section of your iCatt page and, below, the OFA calendars organised for the Faculty's courses
