TOLC-I (INGEGNERIA) is the online engineering test provided by Cisia (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems).
With the TOLC-I, you can enrol in our Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in Engineering in Italian only if the TOLC-I score is at least equivalent to the minimum TOL score required for enrolment.
To convert the TOLC-I score to the TOL score, and see if you can enrol in our Engineering Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programmes, go to the TOLC-I Score Conversion page.
The TOLC-I also includes an English section (30 questions in 15 minutes). If you have given fewer than 24 correct answers in the English section, you will be enrolled with the OFA additional educational obligations.

How to request a programme change
If, during this academic year, you have already enrolled on a study programme at Politecnico, in order to enrol on another programme belonging to a different School for which you are eligible, you must request a programme change, i.e. to transfer your enrolment to the new study programme. Your payment of the first instalment will be considered valid.
To request a programme change:
Go to your Online Services - Test Results and Enrolment and, next to the test date, click on ‘change programme.
Send the Change Programme Request Form to the Registrar's Office of your programme’s Campus within the enrolment deadline
The Change Programme Request Form can be sent via chat or as an email attachment via Desks and offices for students.
(in this case, go to Apply to Politecnico > Exam Results and Enrolment in Laurea Programmes / Change Programme).
If you are an international student, you cannot use the TOLC- I in italian language to enrol in the Engineering degree courses.
You can take the English TOLC-I to access the Civil Engineering degree course delivered in English.
