• It is not possible to register for two CEFR levels of the same language.
• Please arrive 15 minutes before the beginning of the exam; you will not be admitted to the exam if you are over 20 minutes late.
• Bring a valid ID (ID-card, driving license or passport, the unibz campus card is no longer accepted), otherwise you will not be admitted to the exam. 

Registration

Registration must be made during the indicated periods, otherwise it will not be possible to take the exam. 

You can register in Cockpit > Student Zone > Language Requirements, selecting the language and level of the exam you wish to take.
Once you have chosen the language and the level of the exam, you must confirm your choice by clicking on "Submit".
A second screen will open where you can select the date and time of the exam.
If your registration is successful, you will receive an automatic confirmation e-mail to the unibz e-mail address. 

The system automatically recognizes which module(s) you will need to complete.

If you have never taken the language exam or failed module I, your registration will include all three modules.

If you have already passed module I, but not module II (written) and module III (oral): the system will suggest you to register for the written exam (module II) and you will have to register in person for the oral exam (module III), once you have completed module II.

If you have to pass only module II (written) or only module III (oral): the system will offer you registration for the missing module.

Depending on your year of enrolment and the requirements you have to meet in the second language, the system will offer you registration for the supplementary oral exams B2+ or C1.

In agreement with the Rectorate and the University Management, the following extraordinary measures have been established in relation to the conducting of the language exams:

• The next exam session at the end of July/beginning of August will also take place remotely. It will start on 29th July and will end on 5th August at the latest.
• Starting from the session at the end of July/beginning of August, and as long as the emergency situation continues, registrations are limited to one language exam per session. Students who intend to graduate between September and October and are yet to reach the levels required to graduate in two languages are requested to write an email to the Language Centre no later than 16th July. The email should inform the Language Centre of the need to take two exams in the session at the end of July/beginning of August.
• The validity of the exam modules passed during the February 2019 session or thereafter is extended until the end of July, due to the cancellation of the February 2020 session: any missing modules required to pass a complete exam can be taken by the session scheduled for the end of July/beginning of August

The next sessions of the language exams will take place on the Bolzano campus on the following dates:

• 5 May 2020 - only B1 level exams
