Yes, students may opt for remote attendance although we would highly encourage students to attend in person, if possible. Courses will be delivered both in-person and contemporaneously online. All students must use the i-Catt app and confirm in-person attendance for the days allocated.

Considering the new regulations regarding access to University, students enrolled at Cattolica may not attend classes remotely from their own country. Cattolica has resumed the activities in-person and the class capacity has been restored to 100%. Students are encouraged to participate in-person to classes. Despite this, classes will be recorded until the end of the semester and the recordings will be available to students at least for one week after the class occurred. Exams can only be taken in-person.
