Make sure to contact the relevant person before arriving, especially in case of particular study projects, such as internships or thesis research. 

The deadline to have your Learning Agreement – Study Plan signed depends from your home university schedule. However, both institutions must approve any changes well before the start of the exam sessions at UniTo.

In order to take exams and register results it is compulsory to complete and submit an online courses plan (piano carriera) in your MyUniTo personal page. In your Piano Carriera you will need to include all the courses listed in your Learning Agreement – Study Plan.

Please read the course webpage carefully for instructions.
