Transcript of Records is an official list of all the courses you have completed during your studies before the student exchange. In most of the European higher educational institutions the transcript lists your courses in ECTS credits.

Please make sure your official Transcript of Records is written in English, scan it, and upload it to the Mobility-online system in the corresponding step as a PDF file. Please check that the quality of the scan is high enough and the text is clearly readable.

Please note that additional attachments may be required from those students who are applying for

• Health care and social services

The details on the requirements are available on Courses for Exchange Students page.

Click on the ‘Create new record’ icon (white sheet of paper) on the top left corner of the next page. Then select the right attachment, and click 'Create'.

Finally, please prepare a Learning Agreement (LA), which is a list of the courses you plan to take during your exchange in Metropolia.

Erasmus students:

Erasmus+ programme uses digital Learning Agreements. Students need to fill the online Learning Agreement in according to the instructions of the home institutions. The LA should have have a list of proposed courses at Metropolia, and how they will be recognized in your home institution.
Typically, students fill and sign in the Learning Agreement online, the home institution then approves the Learning Agreement and finally Metropolia receives and signs it. Metropolia will sign the Learning Agreements after the application time has ended. Please enter your International Coordinator in Metropolia as the Responsible person at the Receiving Institution into your digital Learning Agreement.

If your institution is not yet able to use digital Learning Agreements, you can use scanned PDF version but you might need to do fill in the digital Learning Agreement as soon as your home institution has the system up and running. If you use the the PDF version of the Learning agreement, ask your home institution to approve your Learning Agreement and sign it before you upload the scanned PDF version of the document to the correspondent step in the Mobility-Online system. Please make sure the quality of the scan is high enough and the text is clearly readable.

Please note though that you might have to modify the Learning Agreement for a variety of reasons after arriving to Metropolia UAS, e.g. in cases of timetable clashes and unsuitability of chosen courses (in level or content). Changes to the Learning Agreement can then be made.

Other incoming exchange students:

Please upload a PDF version of your LA to the correspondent step in the Mobility-Online system. Please make sure the quality of the scan is high enough and the text is clearly readable. Please use this Learning Agreement (Word) document.
