Additional Documents Required for Erasmus+ Students
Students coming under the Erasmus+ program are obliged to submit the following documents:
- Online Learning Agreement (OLA)
The OLA is prepared in the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) system of the applicant’s home university. After the OLA is prepared and fully signed on the applicant’s side, it is automatically transferred to TBU via the EWP network. Once the OLA is transferred, TBU will revise it.
Additional Documents Required for Freemover Students
Freemover students must submit the two documents mentioned below:
- Student Application Form (SAF)

So both documents can be filled in and afterwards printed from the TBU informational system “Portál “. Additionally, to help you with your orientation in the system and to give you step-by-step assistance, we prepared the Manual for Exchange Incoming Students.
