During the mobility

During the mobility

FOR SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS FOR 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR

Updated: 18th of June 2025

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. In case of change, prepare the Learning Agreement (LA) During the Mobility document
    • For studies, if there is a change compared to the courses specified in the Learning Agreement Before the Mobility section, on the Mobility-Online interface:
      • 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.
    • For traineeship: on paper: During the mobility - for traineeships. To be submitted within 2 weeks of the change.
       
  2. Course equivalence form - for studies
    • 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).

Students applying in Mobility-Online can modify their account number in the "Before the mobility - Scholarships" section of their workflow.

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, in connection with your studies, you need to stay at the host institution longer than the closing date specified in the Grant Agreement, you will also be entitled to the scholarship for this period, but it will only be transferred after the mobility has ended (no contract amendment is required).

During the closing, the previously established scholarship may therefore change (decrease or increase) based on the dates stated on the duration certificate, and those concerned will be notified after checking the closing documents.

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).

Attention! For students applying in Mobility-Online, the administration related to the extension of zero grant status also takes place in Mobility-Online, in the "During the mobility - Extension of stay" section. In the case of studies, only an extension from the autumn semester to the spring semester is possible!

C) Documentation for the extension of the mobility period (ONLY FOR TRAINEESHIP)

Attention! Please follow the documentation below if you have sent your extension request to your faculty coordinator on the basis of the criteria indicated in section B and have received their approval.

1. LEARNING AGREEMENT (LA) "During the mobility" section

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. Please, for the sake of readability, fill out the document by using a text editing program and not by handwriting!

2. GRANT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT FORM

The form can be reached after ELTE login here.

Parts of the form:
a) basic data required for identification
b) data required to change the bank account number
c) data required to the preparation of the Contract Amendment for the extended period

How to fill it?
a) providing the basic data required for identification is compulsory!
