Making changes to the Learning Agreement (download):

1. Students are allowed to make changes to their LAs within 3 weeks from the beginning of each semester. Any changes made after this time will not be approved by the responsible person(s) at the University of Szczecin;
2. Changes can be made in the section DURING THE MOBILITY (only!). This section should be filled on the basis of the section “Before the mobility”.
   The section contains the following tables:
   • Table C – courses that the student wants to add or delete from the list in table A;
   • Table D – courses at the student’s home university which correspond to the added courses in table C.

After filling in the section “DURING THE MOBILITY”, the student should have it signed by Departmental and Faculty Coordinators at the University of Szczecin, as well as by a responsible person at the student’s home university and then upload the document using their DreamApply individual account.

Once the student has completed all their courses and knows the results of their exams, they should fill in the Examination sheet with all the courses that are to be included in the recognition outcomes. It should include the title of the course, the number of ECTS credits, the local grade, the name and the signature of the teacher, and stamp and signature of the Faculty Coordinator. The Examination sheet should then be uploaded into the student’s DreamApply individual account. The examination sheet will be either given by the dean’s office at the student’s faculty or, in case the dean’s office does not provide students with such documents, it should be downloaded from the IO website (download Examination sheet).

Examination sheets not including the information mentioned above will not be accepted.
On the basis of the above-mentioned examination sheet, a responsible person at the International Office will fill out the section AFTER THE MOBILITY of the student’s Learning Agreement. Note that no additional documents will be issued to confirm the student’s study period. The dates of the student’s study period are the start and the end dates of the semester.
