Erasmus+ Programme

After we receive your nomination from your university, we will send an email with the students’ information. You will then receive a communication from us:

1. register on the University of Pisa’s ALICE portal;
2. sign up on the Erasmus Mobility portal and upload their Learning Agreement in PDF* (or submit it via OLA).

Detailed instructions for registration and access to the Erasmus portal will be sent by email directly to the nominated students.

*The Learning Agreement must be signed by the student and the coordinator of the home university. The Italian courses must include the code and credits.

The deadlines are not mandatory, but it is recommended to meet them because we need to approve the Learning Agreements before the summer.

You will receive an e-mail at the address you used on ALICE at the time of registration.
The communication will include:

• your new UNIPI e-mail address (@studenti.unipi.it), which you will use to contact professors and offices;
• your student ID number (matricola), necessary for registering for exams.

In any case, you will find your University email on ALICE in the window “personal details”, at the bottom.

After enrollment you will be able to access the student portals:

• Agenda Didattica
• Course Catalogue
• Valutami

You must submit your Certificate of Arrival, which is provided by your home university and should not be filled in by you.

The document must be submitted in person at the International Relations Office of the Department of Law during public opening hours or sent by e-mail to rapp.int@jus.unipi.it

Our Erasmus Coordinator will complete the information, including your arrival date, and will sign the certificate.

Once completed, the certificate will be sent by email to both you and your home university.

The date on the certificate will be the day you register at the International Relations Office of the Department of Law (either in person or by email). If you register by email, the certificate will show the date your email is received.
