Content in Italian
Per l'ammissione al Corso di Laurea sono richieste le conoscenze di base che di norma si acquisiscono con un Diploma di Scuola media superiore. In ogni caso, chiunque si iscriva dovrà possedere:
- la capacità di esprimersi perfettamente in italiano scritto e orale;
- una buona formazione culturale di base.
Il possesso di entrambi questi requisiti sarà verificato con criteri e forme che sono precisati sull'apposita sezione del sito del Dipartimento di Civiltà e forme del sapere, 'area studenti' – 'test di valutazione iniziale'. Sul sito del Corso di laurea sono riportate tutte le informazioni di dettaglio, ovvero:
Relativamente al test TOLC-SU (di seguito test) di valutazione iniziale e alle modalità per colmare gli eventuali debiti formativi, il Corso di laurea delibera quanto segue:
1. Si ribadisce innanzitutto che gli studenti che intendono accedere ai corsi di laurea triennale del Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere devono sostenere obbligatoriamente il test di valutazione iniziale organizzato dal Dipartimento stesso. Il test di valutazione si svolge a settembre di ogni anno e in altre date che sono comunicate sul sito del Dipartimento.
2. Agli studenti che non hanno superato il test viene assegnato un debito che deve essere colmato obbligatoriamente frequentando i corsi di recupero OFA organizzati dal Dipartimento a conclusione dei quali è prevista un'esercitazione con idoneità;
3. Gli studenti che:
a. non hanno superato il test;
b. hanno frequentato i corsi di recupero, ma non hanno superato con profitto l'esercitazione conclusiva dei corsi stessi
c. non hanno frequentato i corsi di recupero, devono obbligatoriamente sostenere con profitto entro il primo anno l'esame di Letteratura italiana moderna e contemporanea (12 cfu, primo semestre, codice 624LL) o l'esame di Letteratura italiana moderna e contemporanea (12 cfu, secondo semestre, codice 576LL) e solo dopo aver adempiuto a tale obbligo allo studente potranno essere registrati in carriera altri esami. Lo studente ha a disposizione otto appelli tra la sessione invernale (gennaio/febbraio) e la sessione autunnale (settembre); a riguardo si precisa che gli studenti ai quali viene applicato l'istituto della decadenza si devono re-immatricolare e devono ricominciare il previsto iter sopra descritto (test/corsi di recupero/superamento esami bloccanti) fin quando non recuperano gli OFA;
4. Gli studenti che hanno già svolto con profitto il test di valutazione iniziale presso altri corsi di laurea triennale dell'Università di Pisa o, in caso di trasferimento, presso altri Atenei italiani, possono presentare al corso di laurea la relativa attestazione, e il Corso di laurea li può esonerare dal sostenere il test del Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere.
Tutte le informazioni utili per le modalità di iscrizione al test, nonché le date e la sede sono riportate sul portale di Ateneo Matricolandosi (http://matricolandosi.unipi.it) e sui siti del Dipartimento e del CDS (http://www.cfs.unipi.it/test-dingresso/).
Gli studenti che dovessero avere un debito al test di valutazione dovranno accedere a corsi di recupero organizzati dal Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del sapere.
