Instructions for outgoing exchange students

After you have accepted the exchange study offer, LUT nominates you (sends your information) to the host university. Then, your exchange university will contact you and guide you on how to make the application in their system.  Each university has a different schedule: for the autumn semester, some start the process in March, some (most of them) in May – it might take several weeks or months for them to reach out to you.

All the information (courses, visa, accommodation, language proficiency certificates) will come from the exchange university. If the application instructions are not clear, contact them directly. After you have received the instructions, start early: you might need to collect signatures for your documents or take a language proficiency test. In case you need a medical statement or vaccinations, consult the YTHS.

Make sure you are reachable: your email address on LUT Mobility-Online should be the one you use regularly. Both LUT and your exchange university will contact you regularly to dispense important recent information – which often require your reaction or reply.
