Modifying the Intership Project

EXTENSION

The institution or the student can request an extension of the internship no later than 7 days before its conclusion by accessing to their reserved area through the web page http://studenti.unimc.it. Then, they should click on the tab ‘Internship Management’ in the section ‘Internships and Work Placements’ and then on the dot in the column ‘Extensions’. Once in that web page, they should click on the tab ‘Submit a New Request’ and, at the end, on the tab ‘Amend the Period of the Internship’. Once in that web page, they should click on the tab for the extension of the internship. 

The other interested party must approve the request, so, according to who has made it, either the student or the host institution will have to access their personal area, to click on the tab ‘Internship management’, then on the red dot in the box ‘Suspensions and Extensions’ related to the internship, and in the end, on the green check mark in the line corresponding to the request. 

It must be clear that requesting an extension means pushing back the end of the internship, assuming that the student carries out the number of hours originally established in the training project. 

On the other hand, in case of desire to increase the number of hours of the internship, it is necessary to draft a second training project or to modify the first. This must be done after having contacted student’s department and the academic tutor to verify the possibility to do that.

WITHDRAWAL

Students can withdraw from the internship by accessing to their reserved area through the web page http://studenti.unimc.it. Then, they should click on the tab ‘Internship Management’ in the section ‘Internships and Work Placement’ and then on the dot in the column ‘Extensions’. Once in that web page, they should click on the tab ‘Submit a New Request’ and, at the end, on the tab ‘Amend the Period of the Internship’. Once in that web page, they should click on the tab ‘Withdraw’.

To verify the validity of the already carried out activity for the calculation of the ECTS to earn, it is necessary to contact student’s department.

Once the request is submitted, the student must send an email to the address stage@unimc.it to inform the Office.

MODIFYING THE MODE OF THE INTERNSHIP TO THE ONLINE MODE

In every moment, the host institution can agree with the intern upon the continuation of the internship in the online mode at the domicile of the student. The host institution must submit the request electronically and then the student must approve it.

In order to do this, the host institution tutors have to access to their personal areas (http://studenti.unimc.it) and to click on the tab ‘Internship Management’, and then on the column dedicated to extensions visualized alongside the name of the student. The host institution will have to submit a brief motivation, specifying the location(s) where the internship could be carried out and the possible work schedule, in order to ensure the insurance cover.

The students will see the submitted request and will have to accept it. After this, they will have to email the Front office of the Internship Office (stage@unimc.it)

It should be noted that, if the change implies not only a variation in the location, but also in the activities established in the training program, the latter must be approved by the academic tutor. After having accepted the request, the students will have to email their academic tutor, copying the host institution tutor and the Stage Office on the email (stage@unimc.it), to request a second approval.

Eventually, the academic tutor will confirm the validity of the change to the Stage Office (stage@unimc.it), which will authorize the beginning of the activity.

OTHER CHANGE REQUESTS

The changes related to training project activities that the academic tutor has already approved and that have already begun must be requested directly to the academic tutor. After this, he or she will have to approve them and to communicate his or her approval to the Internship Office.

The changes unrelated to the training project activities, such as timetable or location changes, do not need the action of the academic tutor. Indeed, the student or the host institution can submit this information, and then the student or the host institution will have to approve it.

To do this, the procedure is the same:  accessing to the personal area, clicking on the tab ‘Internship Management’, then on the column dedicated to Extensions visualized alongside the name of the student. The change requests submitted by the institution or by the student can be seen by the other party, who will have to approve them. After this, the requests are submitted into the computer system and memorized.

If necessary, they can be seen automatically without any intervention of the Administrative Offices of the University.
