Il requisito richiesto per l'accesso è il possesso di un diploma quinquennale di scuola media superiore. L'unica conoscenza richiesta è la piena padronanza della lingua italiana, che dovrà essere accertata secondo le modalità previste dal regolamento didattico del corso di studi di afferenza. Allo stesso modo è rimandata al regolamento didattico anche l'indicazione, nel caso in cui tale verifica non fosse positiva, delle modalità per colmare le lacune e delle eventuali attività formative aggiuntive.
Per l'accesso al corso occorrono un titolo di studio di scuola superiore e un'adeguata conoscenza della lingua italiana. Gli studenti che vogliono iscriversi al corso devono superare il test d'ingresso per i corsi di laurea triennali organizzato dal Dipartimento di Civiltà e forme del sapere dell'Università di Pisa (Test di valutazione/TOLC-SU: https://www.cfs.unipi.it/studenti/test-di-accesso/). Il TOLC-SU è obbligatorio e coloro che non avranno sostenuto il TOLC-SU (o non avranno frequentato il Corso di recupero OFA in caso di TOLC-SU non superato) non potranno sostenere al secondo anno gli esami del Gruppo CAR2, finché non avranno dato prova di aver colmato le lacune, in base alle modalità di verifica previste dal Dpt.. Esso consiste in 50 quesiti suddivisi in 3 sezioni (Comprensione, del testo e conoscenza della lingua italiana; Conoscenze e competenze acquisite negli studi; Ragionamento logico-critico non formalizzato). Ogni domanda corretta equivale a 1 punto. La prova è da considerarsi superata se: a) il punteggio totale è uguale/superiore a 23.5 oppure b) il punteggio relativo alla sezione 'Comprensione del testo e conoscenza della lingua italiana' è uguale/superiore a 12.5. Nel caso di mancato superamento del TOLC-SU gli studenti dovranno frequentare il Corso di recupero OFA erogato dal Dipartimento, dimostrando di aver colmato le lacune secondo le modalità di accertamento stabilite. Tutte le informazioni di dettaglio sono precisate sull'apposita sezione del sito del Dipartimento di Civiltà e forme del sapere, 'area studenti' – 'test di valutazione iniziale'.
