The documents that the UA asks you to complete.
However, to formalize the application at the DMIE, it is necessary to send a PDF copy of the Learning Agreement (LA) created on the Online Learning Agreement (OLA) Platform, which is the document containing the curricular units that the student intends to take at the UA (Table A) and the accreditation of skills and knowledge to which you will be entitled at NOVA FCT when you return (Table B).
On the DMIE page you will find a Tutorial on filling out the LA on the OLA Platform.
In CLIP, in the European Mobility area and/or in the NOVA FCT webpage - Student / Reception and Mobility - "Formalization of Applications" - Definitive List of Interinstitutional Agreements.
The start date must correspond to the 1st day of classes or welcome session (if applicable), and the mobility end date must correspond to the last day of the UA examination season.
Please refer to the UA website or the UA International Relations Office.
The Course Coordinator and the Erasmus Departmental Coordinator of the student's course.
You must send the LA to the DMIE, by email, in order to be verified if all fields are properly completed. You should send your student and mobile number must be included in the email.
It may not be enough, as some UAs have their own application documents and procedures. Therefore, students should browse the Erasmus information on the UA website or, proceed accordingly, if they receive an email from the UA with instructions.
All students who have formalized their application will receive an email requiring them to fill in their personal and mobility data in the Erasmus+ Platform. Supporting bank document of NIB, IBAN and SWIFT (with the student's name printed on it) must also be uploaded in the platform.
No. Although students are selected by NOVA FCT and formalize the Erasmus application (by submitting the documentation requested by NOVA FCT and the UA), the mobility will only be assured when the UA approves the application and informs the student that he has been accepted.
It depends on whether the student has carried out all the procedures requested by the UA and how long each UA requires to analyse the applications. The acceptance is formally communicated by the UA by sending the Letter of Acceptance and the LA, signed by the legal representative of the UA.
Yes. You should immediately send the documents to the DMIE, as the LA signed by the UA will have to be uploaded on the Erasmus + Platform.
Within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, the European Commission has contracted an online support service for participants in long-term mobility activities (i.e., mobilities ongoing for 2 to 12 months) titled Online Linguistic Support (OLS). The OLS will consist of the following:
The assessment tests and the OLS language courses are free of charge.
The students will be emailed the invitation to take the first assessment test. As you click the invitation link, the name of the University of Porto will appear, since the OLS Platform was created by that University. This is not a mistake, so you should proceed and take the assessment test.
The OLS is stipulated in article 6 of the Erasmus Mobility Contract which the student will sign, and it is mandatory.
If the first test result corresponds to a C2 level, the student may attend a different language course of his choice.
For further information on the OLS, please refer to the following link: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/resources-and-tools/online-language-support.
Through the UA International Relations Office.
The Erasmus contract is sent by the DMIE to the institutional email of the student who will sign it and return it to the DMIE, also by email. Therefore, the student does not have to go to the DMIE to sign the contract.
Without the signed contract, the Rectory will not pay the 1st instalment of the Erasmus scholarship.
In addition to filling in the data in the Erasmus+ Platform, it is also necessary to have sent the Learning Agreement signed by the UA to the DMIE.
No. Erasmus students are exempt from paying UA tuition fees, as these are charged at the home university. The UA may charge some additional fees, such as insurance, student card and student association fee.
You should ask the UA International Relations Office to send the following to the DMIE:
It depends on what was set in your Learning Agreement before the beginning of the mobility.
Please be reminded that the maximum ECTS to complete are:
Yes. Examinations results are considered for scholarship purposes and for accrediting skills and knowledge.
For any contact with NOVA FCT only the student's institutional e-mail address will be used. ...@campus.fct.unl.pt
It is the student's responsibility to read messages regularly and to check the Spam folder.
You must complete a document called Changes, at OLA.
This document, after being signed by all those involved (NOVA FCT and UA), must be sent by the student to the DMIE, within a maximum period of 30 days from the date of arrival at the UA (in PDF, by email).
In this form, in Table A2 you must only include the course units you wish to remove and/or add, marking with a cross whether it is a deleted or added subject.
In table B2, the academic accreditation of skills and knowledge that will be granted in NOVA FCT (if you are successful) must be made to correspond with respect to table A2. That is, if you delete a course unit in table A2, you should also remove in table B2 the course unit at NOVA FCT that would entitle you to academic recognition. You should adopt the same procedure for the course units added.
Course units that are already part of the initial Learning Agreement and that have not been changed should not be registered in this document.
Firstly, contact the coordinator of your course at NOVA FCT and outline with the teacher which course units to be taken and their respective credits. Afterwards, you should send the form concerning the extension request to the DMIE, as well as the Changes with the course units you wish to add. Both must be duly filled in and signed by you and by the UA.
Students who undertake mobility in the second semester cannot ask for an extension for the next semester, as it relates to a different academic year.
Students in this situation can ask for an extension until September, since this extension does not involve classes, only coordination work by a supervisor at the UA.
No. If the UA so authorises, the student can take exams in September. However, this period will not be quantified as mobility months.
Students have 30 days after the end of their mobility to provide the following documents:
It is advisable to use the form of the Rectory of NOVA, but it is possible to accept the UA template, as long as it guarantees the necessary information.
If the student’s grades have not yet been posted at the date of return, the student should ask the International Relations Office of the UA to email the original document to the DMIE. This document is essential for the academic recognition and to receive the full Erasmus scholarship.
No. If you are able to take some curricular unit when you return, you can take it in the special season, should you agree it with the teacher of the curricular unit. If not, you should follow the assessment regulation.
When the student informs the DMIE that the TR has been uploaded in the Erasmus+ Platform, the academic recognition process is elaborated and sent to the course Coordinator of the student.
Academic recognition is based on the acknowledgment of the competences acquired by the student through the completion of curricular units accomplished in the scope of other national or international higher education study cycles, and their relevance concerning the course in which the student is enrolled, considering the objectives and contents of the curricular units of the curricular plan, including the free options.
The recognition can only be granted in a number of credits coinciding with a whole number of curricular units in the curricular plan of the course in which the student is enrolled, in one or both of the following ways:
The NOVA FCT Regulation on the Creditation of Competences, Training and Professional Experience is available for consultation here.
No. To obtain medical assistance abroad you must apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which is free of charge and valid for one year. You can apply for your European Health Card at Loja do Cidadão, Social Security or any other institution with which you are registered.
It is advised to carefully read the information on http://www.seg-social.pt/pedido-cartao-europeu-seguro-doenca
If the mobility is in the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will have to contract a health insurance which will entitle you to medical assistance.
If interested in assistance insurance abroad, you should refer to the following websites:
