During your stay

The study plan indicated in the Learning Agreement can be changed within two months of arrival at the Host University, and in any case no later than one month of the start of selected courses/training activities for each semester.

Changes must be submitted to the Erasmus coordinator (or Erasmus Help Desk) of the University of Milan and, after the approval, are also to be accepted by the Host Institution's Erasmus Coordinator.

You can:

• delete an activity
• add an activity
• partially change an activity, such as the number of credits
   

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS RELATED TO THE YEAR OF YOUR MOBILITY 

a) If your mobility is carried out during the a.y. 24/25:

• Once your changes are discussed and approved, you can change your Online Learning Agreement by entering the online procedure again and selecting "Other actions" > "Change form".
• For each action, you must indicate the reason for your change. If your reason is not listed, you can choose "other" (altro).
• We suggest that you use the field "notes" at the bottom of the page to elaborate the reasons for your choices to your home coordinator, who will receive your new proposal.
• After you confirm your changes, the steps to follow are the same you already followed during your first submission. You must wait for your home coordinator's approval and then send your Learning Agreement to your host coordinator. Finally, your final Learning Agreement should be sent to the International Mobility Office on Informastudenti > Erasmus Study > During the Mobility. To be accepted, your L.A. must be signed by the host coordinator with a stamp or digitally.
• Should the Host university request the change on its own Learning Agreement form, any changes must always be indicated on both documents.

a) If your mobility is carried out during the a.y. 25/26:

• Changes should be discussed with the Erasmus coordinator (or Erasmus Help Desk) of the University of Milan and, after their approval, discussed and accepted by the Host Institution's Erasmus Coordinator.
• Once the request is approved, you can change the Online Learning Agreement by entering the Online Learning Agreement portal.
• To know how to submit your changes, please refer to the Guidelines to complete your OLA.
• We remind you that the new OLA is only valid when approved on the platform by both UNIMI and the host institution's coordinators.
• If the host institution requires a different L.A. format, please change both.
• Students must always follow closely the status of approval of their Online Learning Agreement
• It is not necessary to send your OLA to the International Mobilty Office during the mobility. We ask you to send the final, approved version only once your mobility ends.

During your stay you may apply for an extension for academic reasons, up to 12 months and no later than July 31st (call 24/25).

Extensions are not granted automatically and must always be authorised by both your UNIMI coordinator and the responsible person abroad.

The new period will be financed with the Erasmus scholarship only in case of funds' availability; the students will not receive any additional grants.

After the extension's approval, students will receive a down payment of 80% of the Erasmus grant; the final balance will be paid after the mobility, according to the actual period spent abroad.

Students can apply for a stay extension no later than one month before the expected end of their mobility period.

Long extensions should involve a change in the previous Learning Agreement (see above) to include further activities to be taken over the additional time.

HOW TO SUBMIT AN EXTENSION APPLICATION:

1. Log in to https://unimi-studenti.gomp.it/mobilityExtension
2. Select the new end date (that is the extension's end date) - you'll be able to see the dates you initially submitted on your Mobility Agreement;
3. Select the type of mobility (in person or blended);
4. Write the academic reasons for your request (your coordinator will read them);
5. Your UNIMI academic coordinator will be notified and will approve or deny your request; 
6. You will receive a feedback in both cases. In case of approval, you can access the above link again and download the pdf of your Mobility Agreement's amendment with the digital approval of your Home coordinator (hand-written signatures are not accepted);
7. Send an e-mail with a pdf of your approved Agreement's amendment to your host University for their final approval (hand-written signature or digital signature accepted);
8. Upload and send the final approved document on InformaStudenti - International > During the mobility Erasmus Study. The procedure will be final when the International Mobility Office takes charge of your request on Informastudenti.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

• Should your stay be longer than that originally stated on your Mobility Agreement, students are encouraged to follow the procedure described above, even for short periods.

Requests to reduce the stay may be authorized at least one month prior to the end of the agreed period of mobility by the University of Milan Erasmus coordinator. 

Authorization granted by e-mail is sufficient, and the student must notify the International Mobility Office by contacting it through the InformaStudenti Contact center - International > During the mobility Erasmus Study.

A reduction in stay may decrease the amount of the Erasmus grant awarded, and partial reimbursement may be requested.
