Tutorial for creating the Online Learning Agreement (before the mobility)

The creation of a Digital Learning Agreement (DLA) is obligatory for Erasmus+ students who want to spend a semester abroad.
This tutorial explains step by step how to fill in the Digital Learning Agreement in Mobility Online.
The "Digital Learning Agreement - Before the Mobility" has to be completed before the start of your stay abroad.

Important: Please do not complete the DLA until you have read through the information on the Digital Learning Agreement and on credit transfer at your faculty.

Web pages of the faculties

 

Note for students of Cultural Studies:

For students of Faculty of Arts and Humanities, there are some further steps to take before completing the Digital Learning Agreement.

More detailed information can be found at:

First log into Mobility Online with your IMT account on the www.service4mobility.com/europe/LoginServlet page.

 

Further reference:

In everyday communication, the term "OLA" (Online Learning Agreement) is often used. This is simply an alternative name for the DLA (Digital Learning Agreement). The DLA that you fill out in Mobility Online is automatically sent electronically to your partner university.

Important Notes

The courses taken at the partner university must have a scope of at least 24 ECTS per semester. This can also include non-subject-related courses (language courses, seminars on local culture, etc.).

After the mobility, you must be able to prove (via your ToR) that you have successfully completed at least 15 ECTS per semester at the partner university. If this is not the case, you may have to pay back your Erasmus+ grant.
