After approval

• Ascertain which of the selected higher education institutions you have been approved for!
• Explore all available information on the website of your host higher education institution (Incoming students)!
• Verify the deadline for submitting documents set by your host higher education institution (Deadlines for application)!
• Check the required form of application (online, by mail, etc.)!
• Check what documents you will need to submit when applying to your host higher education institution!
• Inspect the validity period of your passport – it must be valid 3 months after the planned return date from studies at a foreign university!
• Wait for an informative e-mail from the coordinator at UL FSS!
• Submit the application form to the faculty coordinator (room 331), – by submitting this form, the student confirms his / her participation in the Erasmus + programme! (Application form will be sent to you by the coordinator).
• Explore offers of dormitories, residence halls and room reservations, as well as the dates and deadlines thereof!
• Keep track of all deadlines and check your email regularly!
• Prepare the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) – it is issued by the National Health Service free of charge immediately + arrange for additional assessment of your health condition, because a doctor's visit abroad is more expensive!

NB!

• 1.5 ECTS = 1 LV credit point

• UL recommends sending the application documents 2 weeks before the closing date of deadline

• Frequently requested documents: transcript of records, learning agreement or tripartite agreement on the content of your exchange studies.

• Before completing the learning agreement, the course coordination must be carried out with the programme director by e-mail, and a statement of commitment must be signed – it will be sent to you by the coordinator of the UL FSS.

• When the documents are ready to be sent, the faculty coordinator may advise the student to contact the UL Department of Student Services, Mobility Division.

• Erasmus+ mobility (studies + internship) can be done by the same student at each study level for a total of 12 months.

• Scholarship disbursement: 90% of the awarded scholarship amount as an advance payment, while 10% are paid after receipt of the student's individual report after the exchange period.

• After sending the application, most foreign higher education institutions send the student an official letter of acceptance (German: Aufnahmebestätigung).
