During the mobility

FOR SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS FOR 2022/2023 ACADEMIC YEAR

Updated: 31st of May 2023

Please note that one of the basic conditions of the Erasmus scholarship is that the student has an active student status during the scholarship period in Hungary (it does not apply to students participating in traineeship after graduation). Please declare your active status in Neptun as usual (if you extend your Erasmus scholarship for the next semester, you will also need to activate that semester). If you have missed this, report it urgently to the faculty student administration. Passive students are not eligible for an Erasmus scholarship, failure to declare the active students status will result in a refund of the full amount of the grant awarded.

I. TO-DO WITHIN AFTER ARRIVAL

  1. Learning Agreement (LA) – "During the mobility" section if there are any changes to the Before the mobility section. Must be signed by all three parties. Please, for the sake of readability, fill out the document by using a text editing program and not by handwriting!
    • Study abroad:
      • Based on the general credit recognition procedure the student indicates any necessary changes to the LA in the “During the Mobility” section of the document according to the final list of courses taken at the host institution. The “During the Mobility” section of the LA must be handed in by everyone who has made changes to the courses listed in the “Before the Mobility” section of the LA. Only deleted or added courses should be indicated in the document. The deadline for finalising the course list and submitting the document is 30 November for the autumn semester and 30 April for the spring semester. More information is available here.
      • Attention! Due to the implementation of Mobility-Online mobility management software, students on a study abroad mobility in the Autumn Semester of 2024/2025 can only prepare the LA During the Mobility document on paper: During the mobility - for studies (Please, for the sake of readability, fill out the document by using a text editing program and not by handwriting!)
    • Traineeship (if necessary): The "During the Mobility" section of the LA is currently not available for traineeships, therefore students are kindly requested to complete a paper version of the During the mobility - for traineeships document, if necessary. To be submitted within 2 weeks of the change in your mobility.
  2. Course equivalence form - for study abroad mobility
    • The annex to the “During the Mobility” (or in the absence of change, “Before the Mobility") section of the LA. Every student on a study abroad mobility is required to submit this document.
    • The deadline for submitting the document is 30 November for the autumn semester and 30 April for the spring semester. More information is available here.

Besides the active student status we also recommend (does not apply to students participating in traineeship after graduation) to check whether your Erasmus+ status has been set up in Neptun. If not, notify your faculty coordinator. (The status is set by the Faculty Student Administration Office on the basis of a list submitted by the faculty Erasmus+ coordinator).
This is important because: 

  • facilitates the Erasmus credit recognition procedure
  • students with Erasmus status are granted exemption from the performance based reallocation process;
  • in case of credit exceedance no tuition fee should be paid after credits completed during the Erasmus period.

II. CONTRACT AMENDMENT OPTIONS DURING THE MOBILITY

A) CHANGING BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER 

It is possible to change the bank account number (for example, in case of a newly opened bank account to which you would like to receive the second instalment of your scholarship).

For this, you must fill in the relevant part (bank account data) of the GRANT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT FORM (available after ELTE login) completely and correctly.

Please submit this form no later than your closing documents.

B) PROLONGING MOBILITY 

We would like to draw attention to the fact that currently only 1 semester per mobility of studies, and only max. 5 months of traineeship can be supported, so it is not possible to extend the awarded Erasmus+ mobility

Cases exempted from the prohibition of extension:

  1. The relevant semester of a study abroad mobility is prolonged (e.g. due to a prolonged examination period)

If you need to stay longer than the end date of your study abroad mobility specified in the grant agreement, you can extend your mobility (by at least 5 days) until the last day of the final exam in the relevant semester. Please notify your faculty coordinator of your request to extend your mobility by e-mail, indicating the new end date. After receiving their approval, follow the documentation for the extension of the mobility period in section C.

When is the scholarship transferred for the extended period? 

If the duration of the extension is less than 15 days, you will receive the additional grant at the end of your mobility, together with your second instalment. If the extension is for 15 days or more, you can request the initiation of the transfer process by sending your authenticated Grant Agreement Amendment via e-mail, as detailed in section C.

In the latter case, payment is expected within 4 weeks of the receipt of the authenticated Grant Agreement Amendment.

Does the extended scholarship amount include the additional financial support (students with fewer opportunities or disabilities or long-term illnesses)?

You are automatically entitled to receive the previously awarded additional financial support for students with fewer opportunities and for students with disabilities or long-term illnesses (€250 per month) for the extended period too, provided that the settlement method for the awarded method is non-itemised.

For more information, please write to erasmus.out@dep.elte.hu!

2. Extension of stay without grant (zero grant extension)

In the case a student is willing to stay at the receiving institution beyond the period covered in the Grant Agreement at their own expense, their Erasmus status can be extended but with no scholarship attached to the extended period (’zero grant status’). Please notify your faculty coordinator of your intention by e-mail and, after receiving their approval, follow the documentation for the extension of the mobility period in section C.

Minimum physical duration of the extension is 1 month (30 days).

How to fill it? The LA During the mobility section must be completed according to the same principles as the LA Before the mobility document. As the document is used to report changes for the entire period, there is no need to indicate the deletion of items in the first semester, only the addition of items taken in the second semester.
