At the end of the propaedeutic course, a test will be administered, also on Elly, which can be repeated several times. OFAs are considered to have been fulfilled when the test is passed.

Those who do not pass the test by the beginning of the first semester of the second year will not be able to take the exams scheduled for the second year.
