Learning agreement

Here you will find some useful information and instructions to correctly fill in the learning agreement (LA)

• To take the courses of the international curriculum, the B2 level of English is recommended.
• In order to access the educational laboratories, the field laboratories and the daily excursions provided for in some courses, it is mandatory to complete modules 1, 2 and 3 of the Safety and Training provided by the University of Bologna (see details and information in the section STUDIARE of your Degree Course) alternatively demonstrate that you have already obtained a certificate of attendance of equivalent courses at the home university.
• If you choose courses that include the attendance of educational workshops, field workshops and day trips, it is advisable to contact the teacher in charge in advance to check if there are limitations to the frequency of these courses.
• The costs for participating in the trips or excursions provided by some courses are at your expense (contact the teacher in charge).
• If you intend to choose an integrated course you must attend it entirety, it is not possible to attend only one module and take a partial exam.
• If your mobility period is only for one semester, you will be able to include only courses taught in that semester in your LA. Therefore, you will not be able to insert annual courses or courses from the previous or next semester.
• If you wish to include courses offered by other teaching areas, you must first request formal approval by email from the competent international mobility office. Once approval is obtained, we ask you to forward it to our office at mobintscienzebo@unibo.it.
• When you have selected all the courses you want to follow, you will have to fill in the LA by entering the code and name of each course, the semester and the number of credits.

You will need to upload the learning agreement to your AlmaRM profile. It is advisable to load the LA in advance; if you are a student arriving in the first semester it is advisable to upload the LA by mid-July, if you are arriving in the second semester by mid-January.

If your LA is rejected, you will receive a message from AlmaRM and we will send you an e-mail with details on how to change it; upload the modified version on AlmaRM.

Remember that course timetables and syllabus might change shortly before lesson start. If you have already uploaded your LA and you want to change it you should wait a few weeks after lesson start before you upload the new version on AlmaRM.

After your LA is approved and you have done the check-in at Unibo, remember to prepare your online study plan. Instructions on completing the study plan are available on this page. This operation is necessary to book and register the exams.
