Updated: 29th of October 2020

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.

Please send the following documents to your faculty coordinator (via email)

1. Certificate of arrival/Registration (signed by the receiving faculty coordinator/supervisor)

2. Learning Agreement – During the mobility section if there are any changes to the Before the mobility section (signed by all parties). Should be filled by the Online Learning Agreement, in particularly justified cases on paper: for studies / for traineeships. 

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.
This is important because: 

• facilitates the Erasmus credit transfer process (Pursuant to Clause 3.10 of your Grant Agreement for Studies, Participant must iniciate the credit transfer process upon return to Hungary);
• 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.

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 scholarship of the extended period).

For this, you must fill in the relevant part (bank account data) of the GRANT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT FORM found in section B / 2.

B) PROLONGING MOBILITY

Students have the opportunity to extend the duration of their mobility according to the following conditions:

The extension can only take place for the physical part of the mobility! No contract amendment is required to extend the (virtual) period spent in Hungary, but please inform your faculty coordinator and the Erasmus + and International Programs Department (erasmus.out@dep.elte.hu) via e-mail.

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

Documents required for extension:

 Should be filled by the Online Learning Agreement, in particularly justified cases on paper: for studies / for traineeships. 

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. The document must be signed by all three parties.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. When should I submit my extension request?

You must notify your faculty coordinator and the Erasmus + and International Programs Department (erasmus.out@dep.elte.hu) by e-mail no later than 1 month before the original closing date. You can submit the documents required for the extension no later than the original closing date, but we recommend that you do so 6-8 weeks in advance so that you can receive your scholarship in time for the extended period.

2. When is the scholarship transferred for the extended period?

As soon as the 4 copies of the Grant Agreement Amendment (original, signed in blue pen) have been received by the Department of Erasmus + and International Programs of the Eötvös Loránd University Education Directorate, the transfer process will begin and the amount is expected to be received within 4 weeks of receiving the documents. The scholarship for the duration of the extension will be paid in such a way that the difference between the 90% pre-financing installment of the recalculated total scholarship will be awarded.

3. Does the extended scholarship amount include the additional financial support (social and/or the one for students with disabilities or long-term illnesses)?

You are automatically entitled to receive the previously awarded additional social support (€100 or €200 per month) for the extended period too.

The scholarship for the extended period may also include the additional financial support for students with disabilities or long-term illnesses, provided that the student certifies that the previous amount of support has been spent in accordance with the rules. For more information, please write to erasmus.out@dep.elte.hu!

4. Is it possible to extend from study mobility to traineeship mobility or from traineeship mobility to study mobility?

Yes, in this case the mobility will have a "combined" status. In this case the amount of scholarship is determined according to the scholarship rates for study mobility for the entire duration of the mobility!

Important: No more than 1 month can elapse between the two mobilities.(If more than 1 month elapses between the two mobilities, those are considered two separate mobilities and not extension. Accordingly, the student must have an approved application for the second mobility and re-submit the complete pre-departure documentation.)

5. With how many months the mobility can be extended?

Every student is entitled to 12 Erasmus+ months per study cycle (BA, MA, PhD), which they are free to combine. Thus, it is possible that a BA student goes to Erasmus study mobility for 5 months, which he/she extends with 4 months, then apply for a 3 months traineeship mobility at the end of his/her studies. At MA level this student is entitled for another 12 month in any combination. Therefore the most important in planning the extension is to not exceed the 12-month (360 day) of mobility that can be used in a given study cycle. Students in one-tier (master) programme can apply for a total of 24 months of Erasmus mobility.
