For degree programmes taught in English, the English TOLC-E tests are no longer available. Therefore, only the Test-HUM (English Test – Humanities) is valid.
Students enrolled in the 2025/2026 academic year must take the test no later than 2026.
Students who do not take the test will remain enrolled in the first year with the status of “repeating student” for the A.Y. 2026/2027 (and therefore, in 2027 they will not be allowed to take second-year exams).
TOLC TESTS IN ITALIAN ARE NOT VALID.
THE CEnT-S TEST IS NOT VALID.
The CISIA Test-HUM has no national validity and must be taken exclusively in person at the University of Messina, in the Ghersi Classroom (Palazzo Mariani, Via Consolato del Mare 41), equipped with 33 workstations. [Test-HUM venue].
The Test-HUM has no national validity and must be taken exclusively in person at the University of Messina.
In 2026, only three national dates set by CISIA (for all universities) will be available to take a Test-HUM.
Registrations on ESSE3 open approximately one month before each date (and in any case at least two weeks before) and early booking is strongly recommended. Students must access their reserved area and complete the registration procedure in the “Evaluation Test” section of the main menu, within the registration deadline indicated in the calendar.
