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 is needed to reach the educational objective for the complexity of the project.
The postponement period must be communicated in advance by the company to the Internship Office on the JobGate in the My Internships area ‘Internship duration changes’ and the trainee must access the portal to confirm the postponement entered.

Suspension
Upon agreement with Bocconi University, a temporary suspension period for the internship of a maximum of 30 days can be allowed (e.g. company closure, national holiday) to be recovered at the end of the internship if it affects the minimum duration of the curricular internship. Such period must always be communicated in advance by the company through JobGate in the My Internships area - Internship duration changes, if more than 3 consecutive working days are reached.

Withdrawal/Interruption
Without serious and/or justified reasons or reasons of force majeure, there will be limitations for accessing a new internship, which cannot be started before one month from the date of withdrawal/interruption of the previous internships.
Withdrawals, with relating reasons, must be communicated by the trainee before the start of the internship in the My Internships area Internship Duration Changes. Interruptions, with the relating reasons, must be immediately communicated by the company through the JobGate in the My Internships area - ‘Internship duration changes’. The trainee must access the portal and confirm the interruption entered.

In case of curricular internships, early interruptions 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. The student should forward the request for authorization for early interruption of the Internship Office through the Help&Contact procedure available on the yoU@B. The Internship Office will reply to the request.
