Recognition of academic qualifications
Students who enrol in a degree program of the Department of Cultures, Politics and Society following a procedure of passage / transfer / second degree / two contemporaneous enrolments, can apply for the recognition of credits earned in their previous Italian career by submitting a formal request via Help Desk or, in case of transferring students whose career is "in ipotesi", by email: corsistudio.cps.cle@unito.it
The recognition of a past exam is subject to the assessment of the contents of the program required to sit the exam. At the time of enrolment, also exams taken more than 10 years before obtaining the previous degree can be taken into consideration, if the possession of adequate knowledge is demonstrated by virtue of the exercise of the related competences.
Students are admitted to the first year if up to 40 credits from the previous academic career are validated; on the other hand, students are admitted to the second year if more than 40 credits from the previous academic career are validated. Anyhow, each case is subject to evaluation of the Degree Council, and there might be some exceptions to this general provision.
Students can check the approval of their requests on the page "Esiti delle richieste degli studenti".
Exam integration
If the number of credits of the exams taken in the previous and validated career is lower than the number of credits of the corresponding exams in the actual didactic offer, the Degree Council will assign a number of credits to be taken called integration (i.e. integrazione). The professor of the partially recognized module will agree with each student the program to be taken for the integration exam, based on the number of missing credits and the evaluation of the program of the validated exam.
A necessary condition for achieving integration is the full correspondence between the scientific-disciplinary sector (i.e. SSD) of the exam taken and the scientific-disciplinary sector of the course in the Study plan. The integration cannot be higher than half of the credits expected from the exam.
Who, What, Where, How?
Those who satisfy one of the following conditions can apply for credit recognition:
- Change from one UniTo Degree program to another: students already enrolled in a degree program of the University of Turin who have submitted online the application for "Passaggio" to AGIC within the administrative deadlines of the academic year which the change refers to;
- Transition from one of the previous national university systems (i.e. ordinamento) to the current one: students already enrolled in a degree program of the Department of Cultures, Politics and Societies who have initiated the procedure of transition (e.g. from Italian Ministerial Decree 509/99 to Italian Ministerial Decree 270/04), within the administrative deadlines which the transition refers to;
- Inbound transfer: students coming from a degree program of another University who have initiated, within the administrative deadlines of the academic year which the transfer refers to, the procedure for the transfer to AGIC;
- Career shortening: students already in possession of a Degree and enrolled under the scheme "abbreviazione carriera" and/or those who enroll in AGIC following the procedure for two contemporaneous enrolments, wishing to apply for the recognition of credits obtained in their previous university career;
- Career revaluation (i.e. rivalutazione carriera): students who have lapsed or renounced and intend to enroll in a degree program and wish to request for the recognition of their previous university career.
Please read carefully the Contribution and Tuition Fees Regulation issued for the academic year of enrolment in AGIC.

- self-certification of the passed exams, down-loadable from MyUnito (for students already enrolled at the University of Turin)
- self-certification of the exams taken in the previous University career (complete with exam name, number of credits and scientific-disciplinary sector)
- Regarding the 16 € Revenue stamp (marca da bollo): it is not necessary to buy and present it, it will be payable exclusively through the PagoPA system, after the invoice has been uploaded by the Students Registry Office.
Where to submit a career assessment application?
The Department does not make preliminary assessments.
The assessment of the request and the credit recognition is in charge of the Committee of Degree program / Professor in charge, who will evaluate the request only after the procedure of change / transfer / enrolment for a second degree / two contemporaneous enrolments.
The formal request must be submitted via Help Desk (subject: VALUTAZIONE CARRIERA PREGRESSA) or, in case of transferring students whose career is "in ipotesi", by email: corsistudio.cps.cle@unito.it.
How is the career evaluation procedure carried out?
After receiving the formal request from the student, the Teaching Desk Polo CLE administrative staff will examine the student’s previous career and then will submit the request to the Committee of Degree program / Professor in charge for its assessment. The approved document will then be sent to the Students Registry Office (i.e. Segreteria Studenti) - where students will be able to view it and are required to sign it in case of rivalutazione carriera and abbreviazione carriera - for online career upload.
Students are advised to keep a copy of what has been submitted.
On the dedicated page of the website, the list of career evaluations approved will be published from time to time.
Credit recognition table
In case of request for a credit recognition, students are required to fill in the credit recognition table and to submit it to the Degree program together with a self-certification of the exams taken. The Teaching Desk Polo CLE administrative staff will examine each student’s request and help her/him to complete the application, asking for supplementary documentation if necessary.
Finally, the Teaching Desk Polo CLE administrative staff will submit the request for credit recognition to the Committee of Degree program / Professor in charge, who will evaluate and, if applicable, approve it. The Teaching Desk Polo CLE administrative staff will subsequently transmit the approved assessment to the Students Registry Office.
Credit recognition table
The steps to be taken, after downloading the credit recognition table, are:
- Insert the exams taken together with their scientific-disciplinary sector (i.e. SSD) in the column “validated exams” (fourth column), verifying that the SSD of the inserted exam falls within the disciplinary areas listed at the column “Teaching Topics” (second column) and that the minimum credit limit of each area (third column) is respected. In the fifth column, enter the credits for each exam; conventionally the annual exams of the teaching courses belonging to the old Four-Year Program (i.e. Vecchio ordinamento quadriennale) are recognized for 10 credits. The exams for which recognition is sought may be divided into different subject areas; this procedure is indispensable when the exams taken differ, with respect to their credits, from the exams foreseen in the educational offer of the Degree program.
The recognized exams retain their original mark therefore they will contribute to the final weighted average; it is therefore recommended to use (when possible) the exams with the best grade.
- In correspondence with each exam entered in the fourth column, the exams indicated in the sixth column must be crossed, verifying also the cohort, to indicate that the student will no longer have to pass them.
- The completed form will be submitted to the Committee of the Degree Program / Professor in charge, who will evaluate the request; subsequently the results of the recognition will be communicated through a publication on the website on the page Esiti richieste studenti.
The Committee of the Degree program / Professor in charge deals exclusively with the didactic evaluation of the exam recognition.
The administrative procedures related to enrollment, passage, transfer, career revaluation are the responsibility of the student.
