The date on which you sign the register marks the start date of your mobility, which usually coincides with the beginning of the academic semester (see the section on the academic calendar).
If it becomes necessary to make changes to the Learning Agreement, it will be possible to propose the required changes, previously agreed upon with the mobility coordinator of your home university, within and no later than 30 days from the start date of the mobility.
In this case, you must complete, sign, and send via email to erasmus@unistrapg.it the document entitled "learning agreement during the mobility", which must first be signed by:
- you;
- the mobility coordinator of your home university.
If approved, the Learning Agreement will be signed by the coordinator of the University for Foreigners of Perugia and sent to you via email.
