Attendance on the day of the roll call is not required: the recording will take place deferred
3. Check the registration of ECTS: check that the credits have been correctly registered at the UC-Point. If you have any problems, please contact the internship tutor immediately to avoid delays in graduation.

Can I replace the internship with a foreign language course? No, foreign language courses are not considered elective training activities as a substitute for internships.

Is there a reimbursement of expenses for the curricular internship? The participation allowance is at the discretion of the host institution.

What to do if problems arise during the internship? Immediately contact your university tutor to address and resolve any critical issues.

Can I have an existing or already carried out work activity recognized as a curricular internship? In order to be recognised as equivalent to an internship, the work activity must take place in the relevant sector of the field of study and cannot be prior to the start of the academic career.

I have reached the number of hours necessary to obtain the ECTS, can I interrupt the internship? The internship can only be interrupted for valid reasons that must be evaluated by the tutor. Early termination of the internship may compromise the recognition of training credits.

Do I have to show up on the day of the roll call for the internship to be recorded? No. As specified in the guide, once you have delivered all the documentation and obtained approval from the university internship tutor, you must register for the exam but you must not show up. The minutes are recorded on a "deferred" basis
