Provisional Learning Agreement
If you are an Erasmus student, you should complete the Learning Agreement, the document which outlines the courses you will take at Polimi and will be validated by your home institution.
A provisional Learning Agreement (LA) or Online Learning Agreement (OLA), according to the rules of your home university, can be signed after your acceptance at Polimi. However, the final Learning Agreement will be confirmed by Polimi only after the approval of your Polimi study plan.
HOW DOES IT WORK
- Check with the international office of your home institution which form you have to fill in (LA or OLA).
- Review the courses offered at Polimi: watch this tutorial on how to search for courses.
- Complete your LA or OLA with the courses you plan to take at Polimi and those that will be recognized by your home institution upon completion of your mobility.
IMPORTANT: The Learning Agreement and the Polimi study plan must align: only after the approval of your Polimi study plan your final Learning Agreement (LA or OLA) will be signed. For more information about the Polimi study plan, check the section below.
