Academic Recognition

Proof of Academic Recognition

Before the mobility, participants must have their Learning Agreement (agreement between the parties which guarantee the mobility recognition: NOVA, Host Institution and the participants themselves), to know the Erasmus+ Student Charter (Anexo 6) and formalize the own mobility contract.
For studies mobility, it is up to the participant to check during his mobility, the opportunity to change the mobility period and / or the Learning Agreement.

At the end of the mobilities, all the participants must demonstrate their accomplishment as well as their academic success through a Certificate of Attendance (or Certificate of Internship), Transcript of Records (for study mobility) and successfully submit the Final Report on the platform of the European Commission, the Mobility Tool.

With the Erasmus+ Programme, the European Commission seeks to assess and check the mobility’s impact on the language development of the participants. The Online Linguistic Support was created for this reason; the platform allows the realization of tests at the beginning and at the end of mobility, as well as offers the possibility of an online course.

Additional scholarships for participants with Socioeconomic Difficulties and Special Needs:

Socioeconomic Difficulties

Exceptional scholarships are available to help participants with socioeconomic difficulties who are awarded the Erasmus+ Scholarship, complementing this with the Social Action Scholarship they already receive. They shall benefit, for the approved mobility period, from a monthly financial supplement.

The Rectorate's Office of International Relations sends a list to SASNOVA with the students participating in the ERASMUS+ program for payment. Participants do not need to carry out any procedure to access the scholarship to which they are entitled.

Special Needs

The Erasmus + program intends to promote equality and inclusion. In this sense and in order to actively support the participation of people with special needs, this program provides complementary financial support for this type of beneficiary. A person with special needs is a person whose health, physical or mental state implies that his mobility is not possible without an additional financial support.

In these cases, the participant should fill in the Application Form (Anexo 5) deliver it to the International Relations Office at the Rectorate. If his request will be accepted by the National Agency, the participant will receive an additional funding which expenses must be totally justified.
