The system of getting a credit for a term after coming back from a mobility are stated in § 28 of the new studies statue, that will run from the October 1 2013:
- Based on agreements or programs that involve the university, a student is able to accomplish a part of study program, work practice or elective internship on a different domestic or foreign university.
- Rearranging students o the university to study on another university and rules of accepting students from other universities are regulated by separate
- Education program on another university for a student who starts to study out of the university is established individually by mobility coordinator and agreed on by dean. The education program should include the period of study and a list of courses which the student needs to pass, as well as the number of ECTS points needed to get.
- Mobility coordinator is constituted by dean, requested by executive of department responsible for the study course.
- Education program stated according to 3, providing accomplishment of a study period provised by the schedule is treated as equivalent and is a base for getting a credit on a stage of studying passed on another university.
- In certain cases requested by certain students dean can allow a student to partly accomplish education program on another university, which has not signed a contract of students exchange. Section 2-5 is applied
A document that is essential to prepare a mobility to a partner university and later getting a credit for studying abroad is Learning Agreement. Associate dean to matters of education and students as well as program coordinator are responsible to watch over the process of creating the Learning Agreement.
A student needs to get a list of courses offered by the receiving institution, choose courses and consult chosen courses with coordinator. The coordinator compares chosen courses with those on UO to make sure they meet the requirements needed to pass the term after coming back from mobility. After consultation a student needs to prepare Learning Agreement (online or paper version), which needs to be accepted by program coordinator.
Learning Agreement must be accepted by the representatives of the receiving university. The document needs to be accepted: by a student, by the home university and by representatives of the receiving institute. Any changes within the document must be made in consultation of program coordinator- a student cannot make any changes by themselves.
At the University of Opole a rule of full equivalent of credits and examinations gotten during the mobility within Erasmus+ program is applied. A student who got 30 ECTS points during one semester of the mobility according to Learning Agreement gets the credit. There are possible lapses from this rule, for example the obligation to pass a course after a mobility if it was not possible to pass it during mobility
A student who will accomplish Learning Agreement on a partner university needs to bring back Transcript of Records, which contains information about the amount of ECTS points gotten abroad to get the credit at the University of Opole.
