GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

Postponment
It is possible to request before the end of the internship, request a postponement for a limit of 6 months of duration of the internship. The Internship Office carefully evaluates the reasons for the request. In case of internship carried out by a student, only if the company demonstrates that more time to reach the educational objective for the complexity of the project is needed. In case of internship carried out by graduates, it is not possible (no way) postpone the internship over the 6 month the internship duration in the same company.
The postponement period must be communicated in advance by the company to the Internship Office on the JobGate portal in the section ‘Internship duration changes’ and the trainee must access the portal to confirm the postponement entered by the company.

Suspension
Upon agreement with Università Bocconi, a temporary suspension period for the internship 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 has not to be more than a month and must always be communicated in advance by the company to the Internship Office through JobGate in the section ‘Internship duration changes’, in case it reaches 3 consecutive working days.

Withdrawal/Interruption
The withdrawal/interruption, with relating reasons, must be immediately communicated by the trainee to the University via the JobGate in the section ‘Internship duration changes’Without serious reasons there will be limitations for accessing to a new internship which cannot be started before a month from the date of withdrawal/interruption of the previous one.

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

In case of curricular internship, the in-advance interruption not authorized earlier can cause that the internship is not recognized, even if the minimum duration has been fulfilled. The advance authorization is given on the basis of the evaluation of all internship characteristics, including the duration. The student forwards the request of authorization to the advance interruption to the Internship Office through the Help&Contact procedure available on the yoU@B. The Internship Office, after verifying with the Program Director, will reply the request.
