About the learning agreements of Erasmus+ exchange students

If your university has already joined the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) program then after your course registration at BME please use the Erasmus Dashboard (ED) to compose and manage your learning agreement according to this course registration. BME has already joined EWP and is able to manage your learning agreement in ED. Please include the name and email address of your faculty coordinator at BME in your learning agreement in ED.

If you are unable to manage your learning agreement in ED then please submit an E027 request in Neptun after your course registration at BME (under Administration/Requests/Available request forms/E027 Request for a certificate) and at Type of certificate choose Learning agreement, click Attachments and upload your learning agreement (including courses/subjects only from the Course Offer) to be signed by BME (please note that its size can be at most 2 Mb). Please note that if your uploaded learning agreement contains courses/subjects not included in the Course Offer then your request will be rejected. When the status of your request is either ‘Approved’ or ‘Approved and closed’ then the digitally signed learning agreement can be downloaded under Administration/Requests/Submitted requests by clicking on the + sign at the end of the given request's line, selecting Download attachments as a zip. The downloaded ZIP file contains the digitally signed PDF file. The learning agreement can be printed in PDF format from the attachment of the application, too. The digitally signed learning agreement can also be found and downloaded in the Information/Documents menu. Please note that BME CAO’s digital signature is as valid as the coordinator’s handwritten signature and stamp and learning agreements sent in emails will not be processed!

Please also note that without having your fully signed final learning agreement either in Erasmus Dashboard or in an E027 request in Neptun your credit certificate (transcript) will not be issued at the end of the term.

2. You cannot see the language of the course or you can find only Hungarian courses though it has been listed in the Course offers on our website >>> from July 1^st please submit „E018 Request to register for subjects and/or to drop subjects” at Administration/Requests/Available request forms/E018 Request to register for subjects and/or to drop subjects.
3. You cannot find the course you need >>> please check the Course offers on our website if the course has been offered for exchange students, if yes, from July 1^st please submit „E018 Request to register for subjects and/or to drop subjects” at Administration/Requests/Available request forms/E018 Request to register for subjects and/or to drop subjects.
