Course enrolment

Students must enrol for a language course online (except for Italian courses and language courses for specific purposes). Only certain categories of students (listed on the relevant course enrolment web pages) can enrol through the CIAL Secretary’s Office.

Enrolments at CIAL may be made:

- by the person enrolling for the course who must show valid ID (identity card, driver’s licence or passport);
- by another person on behalf of the person wishing to enrol, with valid ID. In this case the person making the enrolment at the CIAL Secretary’s Office must have written authorisation signed by the person wishing to enrol on the course, as well as a copy of that person’s ID. The written authorisation should specify that the person who has come to CIAL is authorised to act on behalf of the person wishing to attend a course and also specify the course which that person wishes to enrol on.

Enrolments are accepted until the places available for each course have been filled. If necessary, a numbering system based on the order of arrival will be used at the CIAL Secretary’s Office for those wishing to enrol on courses. Numbers will be given out both in the morning and the afternoon, during CIAL opening hours, until places run out. Please note that:

• beginners can enrol directly on A1a courses (except for English for which courses start at the A2 level);
• people who already have some knowledge of the language must take an online placement test to see which level course they should enrol on;
• people who have passed a CIAL end-of-course examination can enrol on a course for a higher level, as long as the examination was taken no more than one year earlier.

Students who have to pay for CIAL courses should enrol first and then pay by either of the following means:

• by debit/credit card at the CIAL Secretary’s Office;
• by bank transfer using the following bank details:

- IBAN: IT 69 Z 02008 01820 000100841915 (Unicredit Spa, Via Galileo Galilei 1, Trento), SWIFT code: UNICRITM10HV;

- Payment should be made to: “Università degli Studi di Trento, iscrizione corsi CIAL”;

- Purpose of transfer (“causale del versamento”): specify the name and surname of the person enrolled on the course, the language, the level and the course number. Also indicate your status (student, PhD student, teaching staff, other).

Enrolment will be considered valid only if proof of payment is received by the CIAL Secretary’s Office or sent by fax (0461/282900) by midday of the day after enrolment (if you enrol on a Friday you should present proof of payment by midday on the following Monday).

Students who are enrolled on a course but who miss the first three lessons without informing CIAL are automatically excluded from the course.

The CIAL Secretary’s Office keeps a waiting list of students who wish to enrol but all the places have already been filled. As places become available, students on the waiting list will be contacted, starting with the person at the top of the list.
