ONLINE COURSES
• Students attending online courses are required to keep their webcams on. The teacher will not register the student's attendance if the webcam is switched off.
• Lessons will be recorded by the teacher. The recording can be provided to the student only if technical issues occur during the lesson and such issues can be verified by the teacher.
In the above-mentioned case, attendance will be considered valid.
• All foreign students studying at Pavia University are allowed to use the self-study facilities (media library and language lab) available in the Language Centre.
• The Language Centre is an authorised centre for the CILS (Certificazione di Italiano come Lingua Straniera – i.e. Certificate of Italian as a Foreign Language). The CILS certificate can be used for academic or professional purposes and is recognised by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
