GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

Postponement

Before the end of the internship, a postponement may be requested for a limit of 6 months of the duration of the internship.

The Internship Office may grant a postponement after carefully evaluating the reasons for the request and only if the company demonstrates that more time to reach the educational objective for the complexity of the project is needed.
The postponement period must be communicated in advance by the company to the Internship Office on the JobGate portal in the "My Internship - Internship duration change" section and the trainee must access the portal to confirm the postponement entered.

Suspension

In agreement with Bocconi University, a period of temporary suspension of the internship experience of a maximum of 30 days can be admitted (e.g. company closure, holiday) to be recovered at the end of the internship if this affects the minimum duration of a curricular internship.

This period must be communicated in advance by the company to the Internship Office on JobGate in the section ‘Internship duration changes’ if more than 3 consecutive working days are reached.

Withdrawal/Interruption
Without serious and/or justified reasons and reasons of force majeure, there will be limitations for accessing a new internship (a new internship cannot be started before one month from the date of interruption of the previous internship).

Withdrawals, with relating reasons, must be communicated before the start of the internship by the trainee to the University via JobGate in the section ‘My Internship - Internship duration changes’.

Interruption, with relating reasons, must be immediately communicated by the company to the University via JobGate in the section ‘My Internship - Internship duration changes’.
The trainee must access the portal and confirm the interruption entered.

In case of curricular internships, early interruptions that are not authorized in advance by the Internship Office can result in the internship not being recognized, even if the minimum duration has been met.

Early authorization is given on the basis of the evaluation of all internship characteristics, including the duration.

Through the Help&Contact procedure available on the yoU@B, the student must request authorization for early interruption from the Internship Office; the Internship Office will reply to the request.
