School

It is very important, to show up on every class at least once, to remember the face of the professor. By the exam it might be helpful. The best would be to take a picture of the faculty. It might help by the end, when you have to find it quickly.

Before you start your Erasmus exchange, your coordinator will surely tell you - the first thing you need to do is The Learning Agreement. It is a document which states what subjects you have to pass abroad, in order to pass the whole semester. But don’t be afraid if you need to change one or two subjects and rewrite your LA – it sometimes happens. From the administrative point of view it might be impossible to enroll you on all the courses or one of the tutors can be ‘a pain in the ass’, and there is nothing you can do, just to drop these classes.
Important to remember:

- Ask for permission – remember to ask your coordinator if it’s OK to change the subject before actually doing this (sometimes – saying from my own experience – there is no occasion or possibility to do this before, so just contact him/her as soon as possible)

- ECTS points – be aware that you need to reach a defined level of ECTS points in order to pass the semester!

- Signature – before you send them (in two copies) make sure that both are signed by you and 2 (TWO!) coordinators from the receiving institution, so your new school :P
