THE RECTOR, having regard to:
- the law of August the 2nd, 1999, no. 264, including rules about admissions to academic programmes;
- the resolution of the Committee of the Faculty of Information Engineering, Computer Science and
Statistics of November the 23rd, 2021;
DECREES
The enrolment of students in the Degree Programme in Applied Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence (class L-31) of the Faculty of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Statistics in the
degree programme for academic year 2022-2023 is subject to the previous acquisition of an Upper
Secondary Education diploma and to the participation to one of the following admission tests:
- The TOLC-I, English TOLC-I and TOLC-S tests, delivered on a computerized platform and managed
by the Consortium for the Interuniversity-Access Integrated Systems (CISIA,
https://www.cisiaonline.it/).
Following the announcement of the state of national emergency in Italy on January 31, 2020 and the
issue of Decree Law no. 6 of February 23, 2020, containing urgent measures for the containment and
management of the epidemiological emergency caused by COVID 19, CISIA has prepared a format,
called TOLC@HOME, that allows the regular implementation of TOLC-I, English TOLC-I and TOLC-
S at home for students; TOLC@CASA is identical to TOLC-I, English TOLC-I and TOLC-S in every
aspect.
- The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) General Test, managed by the College Board
(https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/) which can be taken at any of the SAT Centres in the
world.
The admission procedure consists of five stages following the calendar presented in Article 2:

Notes
- Registration for a selection round entails paying a fee of €10, which is only valid for one selection
round. If candidates decide to take part in a subsequent selection round too, they must make a new
registration for the selection round and proceed with another payment of €10. On no account will the
registration fee be refunded.
- The candidate is recommended to pay close attention to the deadlines both for registrations and
admission tests. If, for example, a candidate registers for a selection round and pays the €10 fee but
is unable to take the test within the time window of that selection round, they will have to take part in
a subsequent selection by paying a new €10 fee.
- Applications for the selection round sent by post or payments made using different methods from those
described above will not be accepted.
- Any communications will be sent to the e-mail address provided for the registration on Infostud. We
recommend that candidates carefully check the e-mail address is correct and that they continually
check their inbox.
- Students that are already registered on the Infostud system must enter their e-mail address using the
function User data → Change access data. Keep the student ID number issued by the computerized
system as it is essential for the subsequent stages of the procedure.
a) The TOLC-I (Online Test of CISIA – Engineering), English TOLC-I and TOLC-S (Online Test of CISIA
– Science) tests, which can be taken at Sapienza University of Rome or any other member University of
CISIA (Consortium for the Interuniversity-Access Integrated Systems, https://www.cisiaonline.it/); the test
is also provided in the TOLC@HOME format, which allows the candidate to take the test at home; further
information on how and when to take the tests is available at https://www.cisiaonline.it/.
b) The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) General Test, which is managed by the College Board
(https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/) and can be taken at any of the SAT Centres in the world.
The TOLC-I, English TOLC-I, TOLC-S or SAT must have been taken in January 2020 or later. The achieved
SAT score has to be delivered by the day before the registration deadline for the selection round (at
24:00). Tests may be taken more than once. For the purposes of the selection rounds the best score
achieved will be used among those achieved from the 1st of January 2020 and be the deadlines set as per
the calendar in Article 2.
7
TOLC-I and TOLC-S
The TOLC-I and TOLC-S are online tests of CISIA for engineering and science subjects, respectively. The
TOLC-I and TOLC-S (also in the TOLC@HOME format) consist of 50 questions divided into 4 sections.
The sections whose score counts for the selection procedure are: Mathematics, Science, Logic, Verbal
comprehension (TOLC-I) and Basic mathematics, Reasoning and problems, Text understanding,
Basic sciences (TOLC-S). The candidate who undergoes the test obtains a TOLC-I score, summing up the
scores of the four sections. The TOLC-I score is necessary for the admission procedure and determines the
ranking as described in Point 1.6 and Appendix A.
Two versions of TOLC-I are offered (in Italian and English) whereas TOLC-S is only in Italian:
The candidate can opt for any of the versions. However, the Italian TOLC-I and TOLC-S require the
candidate to provide an additional confirmation of the adequate knowledge of the English language (see
Point 1.5). The Italian TOLC-I and TOLC-S include an extra section in English. The score of the extra section
does not contribute to the ranking but can be used to attest the knowledge of English, as explained in
Point 1.5. Further information on the structure of the TOLC-I and TOLC-S and on the assessment criteria
are indicated in Appendix A.
Note
It is recommended that the candidate pays attention to the entered tax code (codice fiscale), as a mismatch
between the tax code entered on Infostud and on the CISIA website will result in the impossibility of
acquiring the score obtained in the test.
The registration to the tests can be made on-line on CISIA’s portal at https://www.cisiaonline.it/ upon the
payment of a € 30 fee and the selection of the test venue. TOLC-I and TOLC-S may be taken at the Sapienza
University or any other accredited centre of the CISIA consortium. Each test date is split into several turns.
The test venues and timetables are indicated on the http://www.cisiaonline.it/ portal. The registration receipt
(printed via the CISIA website) must be shown on the day of the test to enter the test room. The
TOLC@HOME test is offered at the student's home on the dates and sessions reported on the
http://www.cisiaonline.it/ portal.
SAT
The SAT General Test (henceforth, SAT) is a standardized test used to apply to colleges and universities
worldwide. It includes a Reading Test, a Writing and Language Test, and a Math Test. It is managed by
the College Board. Information on the tests such as dates, fees, test centres, deadlines and score reports
can be found on the College Board website at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/. The candidate who
undergoes the test obtains a SAT score. The SAT score is necessary for the admission procedure and
8
determines the ranking as described in Point 1.6 and Appendix A. The SAT may be taken more than once.
For the purposes of the selection rounds of this call, the best score will be considered among those achieved
from the 1st of January 2020 as per the calendar in Article 2.
Note
The candidate who opts for the SAT as the admission test has to make sure that the same e-mail address
is used for the accounts on the Infostud and College Board portals.
The candidate is required to ask the College Board to forward the SAT scores to Sapienza University of Rome,
using the following Higher Education Institution Code:
The submission of the SAT Scores can be done directly via the College Board website
(https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/sending-scores/how-to-send). Notice that the scores
must be received by Sapienza University of Rome on time for the selection round, as per the calendar in
Article 2. It is highly recommended to check with the College Board the SAT Score delivery times.
c) Provide a self-declaration stating the candidate’s English native speaker status (for example, Italian
or non-Italian citizens who are fluent in English due to family history or country of raising).
Alternatively, only EU candidates (wherever they reside) and non-EU citizens regularly residing in Italy, as
9
referred to in Article 26 of Law 189/2002 (see Appendix C), can certify an adequate knowledge of the English
language by meeting one of the following conditions:
d) Achieve at least 36/100 points in the English TOLC-I (also in the TOLC@HOME format) or SAT tests
as per the concordance table in Appendix A, as the knowledge of the English language is
automatically certified by the test itself.
e) Achieve at least 24/30 points in the English section of the Italian TOLC-I and TOLC-S (see
Appendix A for further details). In this case, the candidate has to fulfil Additional Learning
Requirements (OFA) (see Article 7 for further details).
Notes
- The documents in points (a), (b) and (c) must be sent via email to acsai@di.uniroma1.it by the end of
the pre-enrolment period for the first selection round or by the end of the enrolment period for the
second and third selection rounds (see the time windows in Article 2). The subject of the email
message must be in the following format: "Knowledge of English: Certificate" followed by the
student ID number obtained via Infostud (see Point 1.2). In the text of the e-mail message, the
applicants are requested to specify their name and surname, student ID number, type of English
language proficiency test taken, date of the certificate issuance, and score if any. The certificate must
be in PDF format conforming to the original and show the candidate's data and result. A certificate of
completion of the test alone is not sufficient.
- Conditions (d) and (e) are not sufficient for non-EU candidates permanently residing abroad to
provide evidence of adequate knowledge of the English language.
- No certificate attesting the knowledge of the Italian language is required for admission in the
programme as all learning activities in this programme are carried out in English.
1.6. Rankings
Once the terms for taking part in the selection rounds are over, the rankings are prepared for each selection
round. Candidates are ranked according to their score. Scores are expressed in hundredths as explained
in Appendix A.
10
Note
- For those candidates who have taken the admission test multiple times (during the time interval going
from the 1st of January 2020 and before the given deadlines), the score that will be used for the
preparation of the ranking lists is the highest one they obtained.
- If candidates achieve a tie (the same score), the age of the candidate determines the ranking in
ascending order: the younger applicant is preferred.
The publication date of the ranking related to each selection round is indicated in the calendar of procedures
as per Article 2. The rankings are published at https://www.uniroma1.it/it/pagina/corsi-ad-accesso-

Total (with the additional section) 80 125 minutes (2 hours and 5 minutes)
In the English language section, no penalty is given for wrong answers. The score is determined by assigning
1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for each wrong or not given answers. The score obtained in the
English language section does not contribute to the overall score used for ranking. However, it will determine
the satisfaction of the English language requirements as per Point 1.5.
Bonus/malus Criterion (for the sole English section of the Italian TOLC-I and TOLC-S)
Each candidate can check the score achieved in the TOLC-I or TOLC-S on CISIA’s website by logging in with
the access credentials used when registering on CISIA’s portal. If the test is taken in the TOLC@HOME
format, the score will be available in 48 hours after the completion of the test.
The TOLC-I and TOLC-S must have been taken from the 1st of January 2020 on. It is allowed to undergo the
test also more than once. For the purposes of the selection rounds of this announcement the best score
achieved by the candidate will be used. More detailed information on how the test is carried out can be found
on CISIA’s portal at http://www.cisiaonline.it/.
SAT
The SAT is a standardized test used to apply to colleges and universities worldwide. It includes a Reading
Test, a Writing and Language Test, and a Math Test. It is managed by the College Board: information on
the tests such as dates, fees, test centres, deadlines and score reports can be found on the College Board
website at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/. The SAT has four components (excluding the optional
50-minute Essay, which is not considered for the admission procedure described in this announcement). The
24
timed portion of the SAT is three hours, as detailed in the table below.
Reading 52 65 minutes
The SAT total score, reported on a 400–1600 scale, combines two scores: The Evidence-Based Reading
and Writing score and the Math score (200–800 scale each). The score report, however, provides more
detailed information with further sub-scores.
The SAT test may be taken more than once. For the purposes of the selection rounds of this announcement
the best score achieved by the candidate will be used. More detailed information on how the test is carried
out, test guides and practice tests may be found on the College Board portal at
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/.

Appendix B. ISEE
ISEE stands for Equivalent Economic Status Indicator. It is necessary to obtain tuition fees reductions: the
lower the ISEE, the lower the amount of tuition fees to be paid. The ISEE calculation for year 2022 has to be
requested at an Italian tax advice centre (CAF) after the 1st of January 2022 and at least 30 days before
the deadlines set for pre-enrolment (see Article 2), since the issue of that certification usually takes time.
International students without a residence for tax purposes in Italy or who return their income abroad pay
a fixed amount. Such amounts, different for developing and non-developing countries, together with further
information and details, are indicated at www.uniroma1.it/en/pagina/tuition-fees-and-grants.
29
Appendix C. International students
The candidates should refer to the procedures applicable to “Italian citizens with a foreign qualification,
EU citizens wherever resident and non-EU citizens residing in Italy” if:
• They are citizens coming from a European Union Member State or from Norway, Iceland,
Liechtenstein and the Swiss Confederation, the Republic of San Marino;
• They are citizens of a non-EU country but own one of the following residence permits issued by the
Italian Government:
• They are citizens of a non-EU country but have been legally resident in Italy for at least one year and
hold an upper secondary school qualification obtained in Italy, which gives them access to the chosen
degree programme;
• They are citizens of a non-EU country and are enrolled in an Italian university, hold a valid residence
permit for study purposes and wish to apply for a transfer or change of programme for the following
academic year;
• The candidates, one of their parents or their spouse are a member of the staff serving in foreign
diplomatic representations and international organisations based in Italy and accredited to the Italian
State or the Holy See.
In the case of candidates with dual nationality, one of which is Italian or of another EU country, it is the Italian
nationality or that of the other EU country that prevails (Law 218 of 31 May 1995, art. 19, par. 2).
Note
Non-EU citizens holding a residence permit for study purposes who have formally renounced their studies
at this or another university lose the requirements for residence in Italy, with the consequent revocation of
their residence permit. Such students will have to return to their country of origin and start the pre-
enrolment procedures again through the Italian diplomatic representations responsible for their area,
according to the procedures laid down for the admission of foreign citizens resident abroad.
30
The candidates should refer to the procedures applicable to “Non-EU citizens residing abroad and requiring
a study visa” if:
• They are citizens of a non-EU country residing abroad and do not meet the aforementioned
requirements needed to be considered equivalent to EU citizens.
In order to enrol for the a.y. 2022-2023, the candidates are required to access the UNIVERSITALY portal
(https://www.universitaly.it/) and submit the online application by 29 July 2022. For further information,
please write to accesso.sapienza@uniroma1.it.
Note
Online application to the UNIVERSITALY portal does not grant the admission to the degree programme.
Enrolment can only be finalised once the admission procedures described in this announcement are
completed.
Candidates are exempted from the Italian language test as all learning activities in this programme are carried
out in English.
Candidates should refer to the procedures applicable to “Marco Polo Students” if they are Chinese citizens
and are taking part in the “Marco Polo” project. A specific quota of places is reserved for Chinese citizens
participating in the "Marco Polo" project.
Detailed instructions for these candidates are available on the website of the Ministry of University and
Research at http://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri/.
