Cisia TOLC Test
The TOLC (CISIA OnLine Test) is a test that assesses the educational background of prospective university students.
Delivered by CISIA (Consortium of Interuniversity Integrated Access Systems), the TOLC can be taken in different venues throughout the national territory, and consists of specific tests that also the University of Milan requires for admission to most undergraduate degree programmes, both with open and capped enrolment.
The call for applications of each degree programme indicates the type of TOLC test required together with the registration procedure, deadlines and any special ranking criteria.
