LEARNING AGREEMENT (LA)

The Learning Agreement (LA) is a document containing a list of courses followed by a student at the University. The LA must be approved by all parties to the contract (student, coordinator from the home university, coordinator at AGH UST) before arrival.

The LA should only contain subjects from the list of courses available in the AGH UST International Courses (UBPO) database for which the student has registered. Registration on the platform is carried out in real time. The number of places on some courses, especially in laboratory classes, is limited. The order of applications applies. If the limit of places is reached, registration for a given course is not possible.

When choosing subjects, please pay attention to the class schedule.

After arriving in Krakow, you can make changes in the LA.

Students must first change online courses within 14 days of the start of the semester.

The changed LA or the so-called During Mobility must be approved and presented to the Department for International Students during the first month of stay.

Employees of the Department for International Students are not authorized to sign the LA. Students are asked to contact the academic supervisor directly.
