Erasmus+ Student Mobility FAQs

1) What is Erasmus+ student mobility for studies?

It is a programme that enables students to study abroad (in the Programme Countries) for a period of between 2 and 12 months. (To see which countries are Programme Countries, CLICK HERE!)

2) Who can apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

All associate degree, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students enrolled in formal (full-time) education may apply. However, their department must have an inter-institutional agreement with an institution in one of the Programme Countries. Otherwise, they cannot apply for student mobility for studies. (To see the list of institutions our university has agreements with, CLICK HERE!)

3) I am an evening-programme (ikinci öğretim) student. Can I apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

Yes, you can apply.

4) I am in the preparatory class. Can I apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

Yes, you can apply. Since you do not yet have a transcript grade, you may apply using your high school graduation grade average. Like all other applicants, you must take the language examination and obtain a sufficient score for the application. (There is no separate quota for the preparatory class; students in the preparatory class are evaluated together with the students of the department in which they are actually enrolled.)

5) I am enrolled in formal education, but I have suspended my registration (taken a leave of absence). Can I apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

Yes, you can apply. However, students who have suspended their registration cannot take part in the activity during the period of suspension. In other words, although there is no obstacle to applying, participation in the activity is not possible.

6) I am a doctoral student. Can I apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

Since the courses you would take during a study mobility generally do not correspond to the courses you would take at your own university, whether you can apply depends on whether your department accepts this. In general, we recommend that students enrolled in doctoral programmes apply for short-term doctoral traineeship mobility or for traineeship (internship) mobility.

7) I took the Erasmus language examination and passed the threshold. Does this mean I have been awarded a study mobility?

No. The score you obtain in the Erasmus language examination does not mean that you have been awarded a study mobility. The score you obtain in the language examination allows you to apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies.

8) I attended a foreign language course, and I have an English certificate at A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2 level. Can I use it in my Erasmus study mobility application?

No, you cannot.

9) I have a foreign language score from the Undergraduate Placement Examination (LYS-5). Can I use it in my Erasmus study mobility application?

No, you cannot.

10) I attended high school abroad, and I speak a foreign language. Can I apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

No, you cannot. You must hold one of the valid foreign language scores specified in the Erasmus call announcements.

11) Which language scores are accepted for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

Accepted language scores: the Erasmus Language Examination administered by the School of Foreign Languages, the YDS and YÖKDİL examinations administered by ÖSYM, and other examinations whose equivalence is recognised by ÖSYM (click here for the equivalence table).

12) My foreign language is German. Can I take the Erasmus language examination in German?

No, you cannot. The Erasmus language examination is administered in English.

13) What does the Erasmus language examination consist of?

Although the content of the Erasmus language examination varies from year to year, it generally consists of multiple-choice questions similar to those in the foreign language examinations administered by ÖSYM. The most precise information about the content is given in the announcements published for the examination during the application period. It is a two-stage examination. Students who pass the threshold set for the written test are invited to the speaking examination. At the end of the two examinations, the Erasmus Language Score is calculated by adding 75% of your written examination score and 25% of your speaking examination score.

14) Is obtaining the minimum score in the Erasmus language examination sufficient to apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

No, it is not sufficient. You must also meet the other conditions required for the application. The minimum conditions required are set out in detail in the announcements published each academic year.

15) What is the minimum language score for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

The minimum language requirement for Erasmus student mobility for studies is generally set at 60 points or above. Candidates who score 60 or above may apply. However, this score may differ from one call to another. Regarding the minimum language score required for an application, the score stated in the text of the call you are applying to is binding.

16) I have various scores from examinations such as CPE, CAE, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, etc. How are these scores converted?

The score conversion of these examinations, whose equivalence is recognised by ÖSYM, is carried out according to the ÖSYM Equivalence Table. The scores you have obtained in these examinations are used in place of the written Erasmus examination, and in order for your Erasmus Language Score to be calculated you must take the speaking examination administered by the School of Foreign Languages.

17) Apart from the minimum language score, what other conditions are required for an Erasmus study mobility application?

In addition to the minimum language score requirement, a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is required for Erasmus study mobility applications. Furthermore, in order to take part in the activity, the student must have a course load of 30 ECTS that he or she is required to take in the academic year following the year of selection. The student may make up this 30 ECTS course load from courses he or she has previously taken and failed, or from courses not taken at all. However, a course that has already been taken and passed cannot be taken again in order to improve the grade.

18) What is the minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average required for an Erasmus study mobility application?

For preparatory class and first-year students: a high school graduation grade of 75/100

For associate degree students: 2.20

For bachelor’s degree students: 2.20

For master’s degree students: 2.50

For doctoral students: 2.50

19) I am an associate/bachelor’s/master’s/doctoral student, and I have the minimum language score and the minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Can I apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

Yes, you can apply. However, you must read carefully the section on who may apply in the announcement published for each call period.

20) I am a final-year associate/bachelor’s/master’s/doctoral student. Can I apply for student mobility for studies?

If you are not going to graduate and you will have a course load of at least 30 ECTS to be taken in the period in which the activity will take place, you may apply.

21) I am a final-year associate/bachelor’s/master’s/doctoral student, and I have been awarded a study mobility. How will I make use of the mobility?

In order to take part in Erasmus student mobility for studies, you must have a course load of 30 ECTS to be taken in the academic year following the year in which you were selected. If you do not have a 30 ECTS course load — that is, if you are about to graduate — you cannot take part in the Erasmus study mobility even if you have been selected as a "Principal Student" (Asil Öğrenci).

22) I want to apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies. Where do I submit my application?

Erasmus study mobility applications are made through the system specified in the application announcements published each academic year. For this reason, the system indicated in the text of the call you are applying to must be used for the application.

23) I want to apply for Erasmus student mobility for studies. When should I apply?

You can submit your application once the announcements for Erasmus study mobility applications are published. These dates may change from year to year. For this reason, you should follow our Erasmus web page and our official Instagram account regularly.

24) I meet the minimum conditions for an Erasmus study mobility application, but I have failed courses from previous years. Can I still apply?

Yes, you can. Having failed courses from previous years is not an obstacle. It is sufficient that you meet the minimum conditions.

25) I meet the minimum language score and grade average requirements for Erasmus student mobility for studies. Have I been awarded a study mobility?

No. Not every candidate who meets the minimum language and grade average requirements is considered to have been awarded a study mobility. Candidates who manage to place within the quota determined on the basis of the budget allocated to our institution are selected as "Principal Students" (Asil Öğrenci) and are entitled to take part in the mobility with a grant.

26) How is the total score for Erasmus student mobility for studies calculated?

Your Erasmus score is calculated by adding 50% of your foreign language score and 50% of your Cumulative Grade Point Average.

27) How many points are needed to be awarded an Erasmus study mobility?

There is no fixed score for being awarded an Erasmus study mobility. A number of places is determined on the basis of the budget allocated to our institution, and candidates are ranked within their own departments from the highest to the lowest score. Candidates who fall within the determined quota are selected as "Principal Students".

28) I have previously taken part in an Erasmus traineeship mobility. I would also like to benefit from study mobility. Can I?

Yes, if you meet the conditions, you may. However, because you have previously benefited from Erasmus traineeship mobility, points will be deducted from your total Erasmus score in your study mobility application. The level of the deduction is stated in the text of the relevant call.

29) I uploaded a document by mistake during my Erasmus study application. How can I delete the document I uploaded incorrectly?

Documents uploaded to the application system can be deleted and uploaded again. If an incorrect document has been uploaded, it can be deleted and the correct document uploaded in its place.

30) My department has no agreement for Erasmus student mobility for studies. What can I do?

You may inform your Erasmus departmental coordinator of this situation and submit your request that an agreement be concluded with a higher education institution in one of the Programme Countries.

31) What is the quota for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

There is no general, fixed number of places for Erasmus student mobility for studies. Since the amount of the grant allocated to our institution changes from year to year, the number of places also changes from year to year.

32) What is my department’s quota for Erasmus student mobility for studies?

There is no fixed departmental quota for Erasmus student mobility for studies. The quotas allocated to departments are determined each year anew, taking into account the amount of the grant allocated to our university.

33) How is the departmental quota for Erasmus student mobility for studies determined?

An equal proportion of places is allocated to every department that submits applications for Erasmus student mobility for studies. These places are distributed at the same rate according to the number of students applying from each department (a quota varying between 20% and 40% is allocated for each department with valid applications). For example, if the number of valid applications is 25 in one department and 10 in another, places are allocated for both departments at the rate determined for that application period. If a student who has qualified as a principal student in a department waives his or her right, the reserve student in the same department is invited to take part in the programme. If there is no reserve student, that department’s quota may be transferred to other departments.

34) Although my department has many agreements and a considerable number of places under these agreements, I was not selected as a "Principal Student" for Erasmus student mobility for studies. Why?

The fact that your department has many agreements and that the quotas under those agreements are high does not mean that all of these places will be used. Since the project grant allocated to our institution is distributed equally among all departments, what matters is not the quotas under a department’s own agreements but the right to participate in mobility allocated per department. Your department having many agreements does not give you any advantage in being selected. It only increases the number of institutions you may go to if you are selected.

35) Last year, 5 students were selected from our department; this year, only 3 were selected! Why?

The reason is that the amount of the grant allocated to our institution is lower than in the previous year and/or that applications have been submitted from a larger number of faculties/departments than last year.

36) The total number of places is stated in the study mobility announcement, but the number of places for my department is not stated. Why?

The total number of places is stated in the announcements published each year. Since it cannot be known in advance how many students from how many different departments will submit valid applications, departmental quotas can only be determined once the application process has been completed.

37) The number of "Principal Students" selected from my department is not the same as the number selected from other departments. Why?

In accordance with the principle of equality, it is a mandatory criterion that 1 student be selected from each department with valid applications. In addition to the 1 candidate selected from each department, candidate selection is carried out taking into account factors such as the number of valid applications per department and the density of applications. The differences in the number of "Principal Students" arise from this.

38) A "Principal Student" selected from our department has waived his or her right. Is it my turn now?

If the planning has been made taking into account situations such as some principal students being refused a visa or not obtaining their families’ permission, it is very likely that no student will be invited from the reserve list even if principal students waive their rights. If you are on the reserve list, the Erasmus Office will contact you individually should it become possible to include you in the programme.

39) The results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Principal Student," but I do not wish to take part in the activity. What should I do?

If you have been selected as a "Principal Student" according to the announced results and you do not intend to take part in the activity, you may waive your right within the waiver dates stated in the result announcements. The template of the waiver petition you need to submit is shared within the result announcement.

40) I missed the waiver dates. I do not want to take part in the mobility, or I will not be able to. What should I do?

You may also waive your participation in the mobility after the waiver dates have passed. However, in this case, 10 points will be deducted from the total Erasmus score calculated in your next Erasmus application.

41) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Reserve" student. What should I do now?

Candidates selected as "Reserve" students do not need to do anything. If your turn comes as a result of waivers during the process, the Erasmus Office will inform you by telephone and e-mail and will notify you of your selection as a "Principal Student".

42) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Reserve" student. Can I take part in the mobility without a grant?

Yes, you can. A specific date range is given in the text of the result announcement for candidates who wish to take part in the activity without a grant. By submitting your zero-grant petition to the Erasmus Office within these dates, you may have the opportunity to take part in the activity without a grant. However, zero-grant applications submitted after these dates are not evaluated.

43) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as the first "Reserve" student in my department. I would like to take part in the mobility without a grant, but if a student announced as a principal candidate waives his or her right after I have submitted the zero-grant petition, does the grant entitlement pass to the other "Reserve" students? Will I be unable to receive a grant?

No, there is no such practice. The petition you submit in order to take part in the activity without a grant does not mean that you have waived your right to a grant. In other words, if you are the first reserve student in your department and one student from your department has waived his or her right, then — provided that the grant amount foreseen for our institution has been allocated to our institution — the grant entitlement is given to the first reserve candidate in place of the candidate who waived.

44) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and my application was evaluated as invalid because of missing documents and/or because I did not meet the minimum conditions. Can I take part in the mobility without a grant?

No, you cannot. If your application result has been evaluated as "Invalid" for whatever reason, it is not possible for you to take part in the mobility without a grant.

45) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Principal Student". I will take part in the activity for 1 academic year, but I am being given a grant for one semester only. Why?

In order for more participants to benefit from Erasmus mobility, our institutional policy places limits on the periods for which grants are given. In this way, more candidates can be given this opportunity. The only exception to this is the Faculties of Medicine and Law, whose education process runs on a one-year basis.

46) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Principal Student". I will take part in the activity for 1 academic year, but while I am given a grant for one semester, my friend studying at University X can receive a grant for 1 academic year. Why can I not receive a grant for 1 academic year?

Every university determines its own policies and practices. Just as our institution’s policies and practices are not binding on other institutions, the policies and practices of institution X are not binding on our institution.

47) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Principal Student". However, instead of the university I put first, I was placed at the university I listed second, third, fourth, etc. Why was I not placed at my first-choice university?

The reason is that a candidate with a higher score than yours also chose the university you listed first. The application system carries out placement starting with the highest-scoring candidates. Therefore, the candidate with the higher score is placed first, and if places remain, the candidate with the second-highest score is placed at the institution concerned.

48) The Erasmus study mobility results have been announced, and I have been selected as a "Principal Student". However, instead of the university I put first, I was placed at the university I listed second, third, fourth, etc. When I examined the placement results of the other candidates placed from my department, I noticed that they too were not placed at the university I had put first. In that case, why was I not placed at my first choice?

The reason is the use of shared quotas across institutions and places. To give an example: suppose an agreement is defined not only for department X but also for departments Y and Z, with a total of 2 places. In this case, the two highest-scoring candidates from departments X, Y, and Z are placed at that institution. Suppose, for example, that the two highest-scoring candidates are in departments X and Y; if these two candidates choose institution A, they can be placed directly. The other candidates, that is, the second- and third-ranked candidates in departments X and Y, and all candidates in department Z, cannot be placed even if they have chosen this institution, because the two candidates from departments X and Y with the highest scores have filled the two places at institution A. Even if the other candidates state Institution A as their first choice, they cannot be placed there.

49) I applied for student mobility for studies and, according to the announced results, I was selected as a "Principal Student". What should I do now?

After the study mobility results are announced, an orientation programme is held for the students who will be going abroad. What needs to be done is explained in detail in this orientation programme. The date and place of the orientation are given in the announcement about the orientation to be published on the web page. Apart from this, you may examine the pages of the international relations or Erasmus office of the institution you are planning to go to. The institution you will be going to is likely to have a separate application platform, and it may ask you to upload certain documents to this system. Therefore, you should examine its web page and, if the host institution has an online system, submit your application through it and upload the requested documents.

50) The institution I will be going to has an online application system, and I need to complete my application. However, they are requesting a document called the Online Learning Agreement for Studies. What is this document?

The Online Learning Agreement for Studies is the agreement text that must be concluded between the institution you will be going to and our institution. It contains the list of the courses you will take there and the courses you wish to have recognised here in return, and it bears the signatures of you, your Erasmus departmental coordinator, and, finally, the responsible officer of the host institution, and is approved by these officers through the system. It is not possible for you to take part in the activity without this document being drawn up and approved.

51) How is the Online Learning Agreement for Studies completed?

To learn how the LA document is prepared, CLICK HERE!

52) I am going to complete my LA document, but I do not know which courses I will choose at the institution I am going to. Where can I find out about these courses?

There are two ways of finding out about these courses. The first is to consult the web pages of the international relations or Erasmus office of the institution you will be going to, where you can find the course list. Most institutions publish the list of courses offered within the framework of Erasmus on their own web pages. If the course list is not available on the institution’s relevant web pages, then course selection can be carried out by the second method. The second method is that, after we have nominated you to the host institution, the host institution contacts you and sends you an information e-mail about what you need to do. This information e-mail also shares with you the list of courses you may choose from. You can then select the courses you may take from the course list shared with you.

53) I have completed my LA document. What should I do now?

Many institutions in Europe use the OLA system. Our institution connects to the OLA infrastructure through the Kion system. Our students complete their online learning agreement through the Kion system and sign it once they have finished. Using the e-mail address of the departmental coordinator you entered in the system, your departmental coordinator will log in to the system and, if your choices are appropriate, will also sign it. It then goes to the system of the departmental officer at the host institution for signature. Once the officer at the host institution has also signed it, you must share a copy of your learning agreement with the Erasmus Office.

54) What is "full recognition"?

Full recognition means that the study activity carried out by the student abroad within the framework of Erasmus+ student mobility for studies is accepted as part of the student’s education process at his or her own higher education institution.

55) I submitted my academic recognition (course recognition) petition to my department, and my courses were accepted. Is that correct?

Incorrect! It is not sufficient merely to submit your academic recognition (course recognition) petition to your departmental student affairs office. You must confirm whether your departmental student affairs office has forwarded your petition to the institute/faculty board for approval and whether it has been approved by the board.

56) To whom in my department should I submit my academic recognition petition?

You must submit your academic recognition petition first to your Erasmus departmental coordinator and then to the administrative staff member responsible for these procedures in your departmental student affairs office. To find the contact details of your Erasmus departmental coordinator, CLICK HERE!

57) When should I obtain my passport?

Making your passport application as early as possible is important so that you can complete your other procedures in time. The date by which the passport needs to be obtained should be determined by the student, taking into account document procedures, insurance procedures, visa procedures, and so on.

58) I hold an ordinary (burgundy) passport. Do I need to obtain a visa in order to take part in student mobility for studies?

Yes, you need to obtain a visa.

59) I hold a special (green) passport. Do I need to obtain a visa in order to take part in student mobility for studies?

Yes, you do. The green passport allows travel and stay abroad for up to 90 days. Therefore, since the period you will spend abroad within the framework of study mobility will exceed 90 days, you need to obtain a visa.

60) Which documents are required for the visa?

For this, you need to contact the consulate of the country you will be going to, or the intermediary company that handles the visa procedures of that country.

61) Am I the one who will handle the visa procedures?

Yes! The visa application and all remaining visa procedures are the responsibility of the student.

62) How can I obtain the "Visa Letter (Grant Confirmation Letter)" required for the visa?

You can obtain your visa letter through the TURNAPortal website by using the document application tab.

63) Where can I take out the insurance required for the visa?

You must take out your health insurance before submitting your visa application. The student decides for himself or herself where to take out the student insurance. Some countries may require specific insurance conditions for the visa application. It will be useful to check the website of the country to which you will submit your visa application before taking out insurance. The same applies to some universities.

64) What should the insurance cover?

The insurance of students who will take part in Erasmus student mobility for studies must include general health and travel insurance cover valid in the Schengen area and the European Union.

65) What should the amount of insurance cover be?

It must be for a minimum of EUR 30,000 (thirty thousand euros).

66) I submitted my visa application, but it was refused. What should I do now?

You need to find out from the consulate or the intermediary company why it was refused, complete the missing information and documents, and apply again.

67) My visa application was refused. I have applied again in order to obtain a visa, but my study mobility is about to begin. What can I do in this situation?

You should inform the institution you will be going to about the situation, stating that your visa will be issued late and that you will therefore arrive late. It should not be forgotten that the period of physical mobility you spend abroad must not fall below the minimum duration. Should such a situation arise, you cannot take part in the activity.

68) I have been awarded an Erasmus study mobility, but I would like to go in the spring semester instead of the autumn semester. What should I do?

When the Erasmus study mobility application results are announced, you may submit your request to the Erasmus Office within the request and appeal process set out in the result announcement. Following your request, the necessary evaluations are carried out and, if appropriate, your change of semester is accepted.

69) I was awarded an Erasmus study mobility for the autumn semester, but I would like to extend my activity into the spring semester as well. What should I do?

You must submit your request to our office at least two months before the spring semester begins. If our office finds it appropriate, you must then submit your extension request to the institution where you are staying and obtain its approval as well. You can then begin the documents and procedures required for the extension. Together with your extension petition, you must also submit a zero-grant continuation petition, since your second semester will not be funded from the Erasmus budget.

70) My visa has been issued. What should I do next?

You need to come to the Erasmus Office for the grant agreement. However, before coming, do not forget to send an e-mail to ka131student@gop.edu.tr the day before, for information purposes, stating that you will be coming for the grant agreement. You can then come to the Erasmus Office with the following documents in order to conclude the grant agreement:

a) Bank account details (details of the euro account opened at Ziraat Bankası — IBAN and account number)

b) Your insurance policy

71) I have concluded my grant agreement. When will my grant be paid into my account?

If the grants have been transferred to our institution’s accounts by the National Agency, they are transferred to your account during the week before your date of departure abroad.

72) I am going without a grant. Is an agreement still necessary?

Every student, whether with or without a grant, must submit the required documents to our office and sign an agreement; otherwise, the activity will be considered invalid even if it has been completed. Taking part in the activity without a grant does not exempt the student from any documents or procedures.

73) I have been awarded an Erasmus study mobility, but no accommodation has been arranged. What can I do?

Neither the sending institution nor the receiving institution has any definite legal obligation regarding the provision of accommodation in Erasmus student mobility for studies. However, guidance may be provided in the form of recommendations. The student arranges accommodation himself or herself, within his or her own means and capabilities.

74) I have come for Erasmus student mobility for studies, but for reasons beyond my control, I need to return. May I return?

Yes, you may. If you return for reasons of force majeure (compelling circumstances, family reasons, health reasons, natural disasters, etc.), you are entitled to a grant for the number of days you stayed. You will need to repay any amount you received in excess of the days you stayed.

75) What is the Participant Report (EU Survey)?

The participant report is a survey in which you can state your general level of satisfaction with the study activity you carried out within the framework of Erasmus student mobility for studies, as well as your views about the programme.

76) When is the Participant Report completed?

The participant report is sent as a link to the e-mail address with which you registered in the application system after you have completed your study mobility and returned. You can complete your participant report by clicking on the link in the e-mail you receive.

77) I did not complete the Participant Report. What action will be taken?

You receive 80% of the grant you are entitled to when you leave for your Erasmus study mobility. You receive the remaining 20% when you return. If you do not complete the participant report, a deduction is made from your remaining grant.

78) The documents I need to bring on my return are missing, or I did not bring some of them. What action will be taken?

You receive 80% of the grant you are entitled to when you leave for your Erasmus study mobility. You receive the remaining 20% when you return. If you do not submit the documents you are required to submit after the study mobility, or if you submit them incompletely, the entire grant paid to you is recovered.

79) Is the Erasmus grant sufficient for me to live on there?

The Erasmus grant is not intended to cover all the expenses that may arise while studying abroad. The Erasmus grant helps you to meet the costs arising from living abroad.

80) My family’s financial situation is inadequate. Is any financial support provided in addition to the grant?

For the answer to this question, you can consult the page entitled "Inclusion and Additional Grant Support". To reach the relevant page, CLICK HERE!

81) What will Erasmus student mobility for studies bring me?

The advantages of the Erasmus programme in terms of getting to know other cultures, seeing other countries, and so on are known to everyone. In addition, its contribution in terms of acquiring knowledge and language skills cannot be denied. It is an exchange programme whose positive effects you will easily be able to see in your future career.

82) What are the minimum and maximum durations in Erasmus student mobility for studies? How much mobility can I benefit from at one study level?

A student may benefit from Erasmus student mobility for studies for a period of between 2 and 12 months at each academic level (associate, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral). However, if the student has previously benefited from Erasmus study or traineeship mobility for a certain period, then if he or she is subsequently awarded a traineeship or study mobility again, the period previously used is deducted from the maximum period of 12 months. To explain with an example: if a bachelor’s student has previously taken part in study or traineeship mobility for 5 months and is then awarded a study mobility after applying again, the maximum period he or she can benefit from is 7 months. This period is found by deducting the 5 months previously used from the maximum period of 12 months. However, this does not apply across different levels. For example, a student who benefited from 5 months of mobility at bachelor’s level has this period reset when he or she moves on to a master’s degree and is again entitled to take part in mobility for up to 12 months.

83) Is it possible for any deduction to be made from my grant?

The higher education institution may make deductions from the grants of students who do not fulfil their responsibilities and/or who are unsuccessful. The amount of the deduction is between 20% and 100%, at the discretion of the university.

Failure to complete the participant report, returning to the home country before the minimum study mobility duration without force majeure, and failure to meet the requirement of passing courses are among the main reasons for grant deductions.

84) The courses I selected at the institution I went to were not offered, or I want to change the courses I selected. Can I change them?

Yes, you can change them within certain dates. If the courses you selected at the institution to which you were sent abroad are not offered and/or in the event of a mismatch of courses or a clash of course times, it is possible for you to replace the courses you selected with other courses (on condition that the number of credits added and removed is the same). However, you must do this within a maximum of 30 days from the date of your arrival at the institution concerned. In addition, in order to avoid problems during the course recognition process, you must also notify your departmental coordinator at our institution of any course changes you make.
