Content in Italian
Si ritiene che la preparazione acquisita nella scuola secondaria superiore rappresenti una base sufficiente per un'efficace frequenza dei Corsi di Laurea del Dipartimento di Economia e Management e, quindi, anche di quello in "Economia e Commercio". Sono, comunque, previste, come prerequisiti matematici, conoscenze di elementi di:
- numeri interi, razionali, reali,
- equazioni e disequazioni di primo e secondo grado,
- piano cartesiano, geometria analitica (equazione della retta).
Inoltre, come prerequisiti linguistici sono previste conoscenze basilari, in forma scritta e orale, di una lingua dell'Unione Europea diversa dall'italiano.

Le modalità per la verifica del possesso dei requisiti d'accesso, comuni a tutti corsi di laurea del Dipartimento di Economia e Management , sono specificate nel regolamento didattico del corso di studi; in tale regolamento sono indicati anche gli eventuali obblighi formativi aggiuntivi previsti nel caso in cui la verifica non sia positiva.

Content in Italian
Per essere ammessi al Corso di Laurea in Economia e Commercio occorre essere in possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria di secondo grado o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo, ed aver verificato il possesso di un'adeguata preparazione iniziale.

La verifica del possesso di un'adeguata preparazione iniziale è effettuata tramite il test TOLC-E, anche sostenuto nella modalità TOLC@Casa.
Il sostenimento di tale test, a carattere autovalutativo, è obbligatorio. Se tale obbligo è disatteso non possono essere sostenuti esami del CdS, fatta eccezione dell'esame di lingua e del test di abilità informatiche.

Il test si considera superato qualora lo studente abbia ottenuto un punteggio maggiore o uguale ad una soglia minima stabilita dal Consiglio di Dipartimento.

Nel caso di non superamento del test è comunque possibile procedere all'immatricolazione con un Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo (OFA), il cui assolvimento potrà avvenire secondo le modalità descritte nelle apposite pagine web pubblicate nel sito del Dipartimento e nel sito del Corso di Laurea. Si fa presente che in caso di mancato assolvimento dell'OFA è possibile sostenere solo gli esami del primo anno di corso.

Per i cittadini residenti in un paese non appartenente all'Unione Europea è richiesta, inoltre, una certificazione attestante un livello di conoscenza della lingua italiana non inferiore al B2.
