Why is your learning agreement for traineeship (LAT) so important?
Your LAT is part of your study contract at Hasselt University. The purpose of the Learning Agreement is to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the traineeship period abroad and to ensure that the trainee will receive recognition in their degree for the traineeship successfully completed abroad. Hence, it is IMPORTANT that your LAT is correct!
Also, the traineeship period and the traineeship language must be mentioned in the LAT. This traineeship period must be mentioned in your Exchange portal as well. Where? Exchange portal - top right. How? Contact ms. Erika Vandersmissen (erika.vandersmissen@uhasselt.be) with the correct official traineeship period abroad (official means your official first traineeship day and your official last traineeship day). In order to receive an Erasmus+ grant, the traineeship period must be at least 60 calendar days.
BEFORE you start with your LAT, make sure to discuss the content of your LAT with your faculty coordinator internationalisation.

TAKE CARE! The LAT MUST BE CORRECT! It is essential for the recognition of your traineeship abroad
Last but not least... don't forget to fill in the risk exposure form which is added to the LAT.
As soon as you, your faculty coordinator internationalisation and your host traineeship promotor have approved your LAT (= signed by all parties), send the PDF to ms Erika Vandersmissen (erika.vandersmissen@uhasselt.be) and she will add the document to your 'Exchange portal'. DEADLINE = ONE MONTH BEFORE THE START OF YOUR TRAINEESHIP!
TAKE CARE! If you start your traineeship with a LAT that has not been signed by all parties yet, the insurance will not be covered!
Don’t forget to compose your UHasselt study programme after re-registration at Hasselt University by 15 October at the latest. Re-registration must happen before 21 September.
Once you have an original LAT, it is possible to change this LAT within one month of your starting date (see 'My student file - Exchange portal - Choose the correct destination - look top right). If this date is missing you should contact ms Erika Vandersmissen with the correct dates (erika.vandersmissen@uhasselt.be).
HOW? When you have an original LAT (signed by all parties), it will be possible to download a LAT for changes via 'My students file' - 'Exchange portal' - 'Changed Learning agreement'. Once signed by all parties, send the PDF document to Erika Vandersmissen (erika.vandersmissen@uhasselt.be). It will be added to your exchange file.
