If you also take the final exam, you can obtain a certificate (4 ECTS credits) and a grade.

AGENDA DIDATTICA for:
• selecting the courses you want to attend, so you can be added to the TEAMS of the course (group of students attending the same course);
• accessing your electronic transcript;
• viewing a calendar of the chosen courses;
• accessing your ID to view the QR Code, necessary for activating your student card;
• receiving information about health assistance;
• accessing teaching evaluation questionnaires;

COURSE CATALOGUE: to search for subjects, professors, and syllabi.

REMEMBER: you do not need to register for courses, only for the exams you want to take. To register for exams you will need your student ID number.
If the subject is divided into groups (A-B or A-B-C): you can request a group change by filling in the FORM, sending it to rapp.int@jus.unipi.it, and waiting for the Erasmus Coordinator’s approval. With the signed form you will be authorized to take the exam with the new professor.
If the subject is not divided into groups: you can still attend by skipping some lessons and informing the professor. Alternatively, you can remove the subject from your Learning Agreement by submitting a modification (During the Mobility or via OLA/EWP).
You can modify it until 15 November (once per semester).
We recommend waiting before making changes, so you have time to better evaluate the courses.
You have 5 exam sessions available during your Erasmus mobility:
• 1 session in December
• 2 sessions in January/February
• 1 session in April
• 1 session in May
• 3 sessions in June/July
You are not required to take the exam immediately after the course: you may take it in later sessions.

Erasmus students cannot take exams in the September and November sessions.
The UNIPI Student Card (or “Tuscany Regional Student Card”) is used to access services and obtain benefits throughout the region, such as use of university canteens and libraries, payment for meals, cultural discounts, and student identification.
Starting from the academic year 2025/26, the Student Card will no longer be issued.
Instead, you will find your virtual badge on the Agenda Didattica portal, with your photo and a QR Code, which will identify you as a student of the University of Pisa.
