Exams

Requirements

There are two kinds of restrictions determining the distribution of exams in the study path:

  • Mandatory priority Exams: these exams must be taken before any other exam belonging to the same disciplinary field. Any exam taken without having first passed the respective priority exams will be annulled, and its result will not be taken into consideration. Mandatory priority exams are listed in the file below and in the frequency plan of your curriculum/degree programme.
  • Prerequisites: these courses are considered as a preliminary preparation that a student must have in order to benefit from the chosen learning activity. Prerequisites are listed in the syllabus of each course. Exams taken without having fulfilled the prerequisites requirements will not be annulled, they will remain valid unless the courses listed as prerequisites are also mandatory priority exams.

Fill in the questionnaire before registering for exams

The questionnaire to evaluate the quality of teaching is an anonymous way for you to rate each course for which you want to sit the exam. You must complete this questionnaire online before registering for exams. You can find it in “Esse3”, on your student page, under “Questionnaires”.
The teachers and governing bodies at Ca' Foscari will use the results to improve teaching material, the programme and lesson content. The results of the questionnaires are published annually, in aggregate form.

Registering for exams

Log in to Esse3 (S3) on your student page and register for the exams that are already open for registration.

To view upcoming exams and the relative registration periods, see the registration periods in Esse3.

Find out about upcoming exams and exam sessions

The academic year has two semesters (I and II), with each being divided into two periods (1, 2 and 3, 4). Lessons can last for a period or for a semester and they are always followed by an exam session. The exam session is the period of time in which the individual exams are scheduled.

One month before the exam session starts, advance notice of all exams is provided in the examination calendar: here you can view all dates, locations and other details (but you cannot register).
To check, instead, the start and end dates of the various exam sessions during the academic year and the general distribution of exams within each session, please consult the exam session table.
