Before leaving
Before departure you must:
- check the deadlines and procedures for enrolling at the foreign university (and having completed all the required formalities)
- sign the Erasmus agreement with the International Mobility Department within the stipulated deadline
- be enrolled in language courses at the Language Competence Development Sector - CLAT (if assigned)
- complete, with signs, and send to the Department's Erasmus Office in a single PDF file the Before the mobility part of the Learning Agreement. Remember that this part must be signed by you, your seat contact and the person responsible at the foreign campuses.
Filling in the Before the Mobility part of the Learning Agreement
Remember to respect the following rules:
- the number of credits of the chosen exam must be equal to the number of credits of the Genoese exam that is to be replaced
- for the use of credits intended to replace compulsory courses you must document the formal acceptance of the substitution by the teacher of the course in Genoa; then you must:
- Contact the teacher of the Genoa course by email, copying your venue contact person, stating the course at the host establishment you are proposing to replace, the reasons for your choice, and attaching the programme of the foreign course
- Obtain a positive feedback from the teacher
- Send it to the Erasmus Office and to the contact teacher.
- For the use of credits for optional courses, you must ask the teacher in your campus to check the correspondence between the courses abroad and those in Genoa, sending him/her the programme of the courses you intend to take. It is up to the office contact person to ask the student for explanations about the reasons that have led him/her to choose and, if necessary, to propose a negative opinion
- for the use of credits allocated to other learning activities (AAF) of the student's choice, you can directly enter the course in the Learning Agreement.
In order to be complete, the Learning Agreement must be signed by the student, the teacher and then by the reference person of the foreign institution. Once signed by all, you must send it to the Department Erasmus Office (scanned in a single PDF format readable in all its parts). In the absence of this documentation, the exams obtained during the period abroad will not be recognised.
During Erasmus+
When you arrive, enroll at the foreign university.
Within 5 days of arrival, have the foreign university complete the Certificate of Arrival and send it to the International Mobility Sector.
Se vuoi cambiare, aggiungere o eliminare un insegnamento che avevi indicato precedentemente, puoi farlo compilando la parte del Learning Agreement chiamata During the mobility
If you want to change, add or delete a course that you had previously indicated, you can do so by filling in the part of the Learning Agreement called During the mobility
- by the deadlines indicated by the host institution
- and in any case no later than 30 November for the first semester
- and no later than 30 April for the second semester
Filling in the During the Mobility part of the Learning Agreement
Respect the rules:
- to change the basic exams:
- contact the teacher of the Genoese course by email, explaining the reason for the change or the inclusion of the course
- please send attached the programme of the new course or the course that will replace the previously approved one
- request formal approval by email. In the event of a positive feedback, the email should be sent to the Erasmus Office and the referring teacher to certify the appropriateness of the change or the new placement
- to change optional lessons:
- contact the teacher who will be able to authorise the change (remember that, in this case, the number of credits must correspond to the credits of the Genoese courses or you will have to take several courses until the number of credits required is reached)
- to change the lessons intended for other training activities (AAF) or for the student's choice:
- inform the teacher responsible for the change (remember that, in this case, the number of credits must correspond to the credits of the Genoese courses or you will have to take several courses until you reach the required number of credits)
Send the complete form with the required signatures and the authorisation email for exams in addition to or instead of already approved exams to the Departmental Erasmus Office in a single PDF format.
Any changes to the Learning Agreement Part 1 must be authorised by the home teacher as described above. Failure to do so will result in the modification being considered invalid, as will any exam results.
Modified Learning Agreements will be considered valid if they are sent scanned in a single PDF that can be read in all its parts (incomplete and/or illegible photos/scans are not valid).
Before coming back
Remember to get a release from the host institution:
- the Certificate of Attendance indicating the day of arrival and the day of departure, validated by the Erasmus+ officers of the foreign institution. Send it by email to the International Mobility Department of the University of Genoa directly from the offices of the University hosting you, or hand it in yourself on your return, in the original.
- the Transcript of Records (ToR) with the list of exams passed and grades and bring it with you. If it is not ready yet, make arrangements with the foreign university to have it sent to you by email in pdf format or other means. The part of the Learning Agreement called "After the Mobility" is to be completed in case the foreign institution does not provide a Transcript of Records.
N.B. All exam marks on the Transcript of Records, corresponding to courses included in the Learning Agreement, will be recognised in your UniGe career.
If you wish to refuse one or more votes you must do so, if the foreign university allows it, before it is transcribed on the Transcript of Records.
Once you have accepted an exam abroad, you can no longer refuse its conversion and the recording of the corresponding grade in Italy.
When you came back
Recognition of work carried out abroad
On your return, hand in your Transcript of Records to the Department Erasmus Office.
The Office will bring the file for approval to the Course Council for recognition of your educational activity, number of CFUs, marks obtained after conversion.
After approval, the Student secretariat will transcribe the recognised exams into your career.
