An Additional Learning Requirement (OFA) is a pathway assigned to you if, during an entrance test or initial assessment, you do not achieve the minimum score required in a specific subject area or fail to meet certain prerequisites for your study programme. Its purpose is to help you address any gaps and better prepare for your academic journey.

If you have not completed your Additional Educational Requirements (OFA) within the first year of your degree course, you can temporarily enrol in the second year, but you will only be able to take your second-year exams if you have completed your OFA within the set deadline. 

If you do not pass the OFA within the set deadline, you will be enrolled as a first-year student in a supplementary year. This means that you will not be able to attend any second-year courses and therefore you will not be allowed to sit any second-year exams.

How to fulfil the OFA

The OFA (Additional Learning Requirement) is intended to help you make up for any gaps in your prior preparation before starting your university studies.

It is assigned if, during the entrance assessment through TOLC-S or TOLC-I, you do not achieve the minimum score of 15 points, or if you do not take the TOLC at all.

To fulfill the OFA requirement, you must attend at least 75% of the remedial tutoring classes, which generally take place between October and December, and pass the Mathematical Analysis I exam within your first year of study.

If you do not fulfill the OFA requirements by the extraordinary examination session of the academic year in which you enrol, you may still register for the second year and attend classes, but you will not be allowed to sit any exams.
