Professors and Erasmus office of your didactic organization (Faculty): for every issue related to the study plan in Torino, as the choice of the exams and the confirmation of the Learning Agreement, students must refer to professors or, when available, to the Faculty/Department Erasmus office.

REFERENCES FOR DIDACTIC ISSUES

During the a.y. 2012/2013 the University of Torino has been facing an organizational change that brought to the creation of Departments for the management of the didactic activities that were previously managed by the Faculties. However, for the a.y. 2012/2013 incoming students are still enrolled by Faculties. We point out that for all matters concerning the didactic issues, students should refer to the professor in charge of the bilateral agreement indicated in the University booklet (libretto) In order to have more information about the organization of the courses and the Learning Agreement, students can also refer, in case of particular problems, to the Erasmus delegates of the didactic organization (Faculty). The list of the Faculty delegates is available in the attachment A. Besides, some didactic organizations, i.e. Economics, Political Sciences and Psychology, have their own Erasmus office. Furthermore, some didactic organizations plan orientation meetings specifically dedicated to their own incoming Erasmus students. It is possible to find the contacts of the professors in the address book available on the homepage of Unito (www.unito.it) under the tag Rubrica. The timetable of office hours for the professors is indicated in the contact details or directly on Faculties websites. On the website of the didactic organization you will also find: - the list of courses - the timetable of lessons and exams - the services offered to the students of each didactic organization. We suggest students to take contact with the professors of the courses they are going to take, to introduce themselves and ask whether there are any specific information or instructions for Erasmus or international students.

LEARNING AGREEMENT
The Learning Agreement (the study plan for the mobility period) can be signed by the professor in charge of the exchange or by the Erasmus delegates of the didactic organization. It is essential to have the study plan signed as soon as possible to be sure that the courses and the exams chosen will be approved. If the signature of the Institutional coordinator is also needed, students can: - have the Learning Agreement signed by Erasmus delegate of their didactic organization
