Provisional Learning Agreement
If you are an Erasmus student, you may complete the Learning Agreement outlining the courses you will take at Polimi and the ones that will be validated by your Home Institution.
A provisional Learning Agreement (OLA) can be signed after your acceptance at Polimi. However, the final Learning Agreement will be confirmed by Polimi only after the Polimi study plan has been approved.
HOW DOES IT WORK
- Review the courses offered at Polimi: watch this tutorial on “How to search for courses”.
- Complete your 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 (see the section below) must correspond: only after the approval of your Polimi study plan the final Learning Agreement (OLA) will be signed.
HOW TO FILL IT OUT
- Erasmus code: I MILANO02
- Contact person: Rossella Magni, Head of International Mobility Unit
- Email and address: check your designeted contact point at this page
HOW TO GET IT SIGNED
- OLA: fill it in through the Erasmus+ Dashboard and collect the signature of your home university. The designated contact person at Polimi will receive your OLA and will sign it digitally.
