If you face unforeseen difficulties and/or challenges during your stay abroad, please, contact us as soon as possible so that we can look for possible solutions together.
Arrival Confirmation
Have the first part of the confirmation of stay, which you can download from Mobility-Online, signed and upload the signed document in Mobility-Online. Keep the original document in a safe place, because at the end of the stay it has to be signed again by the host university and the original has to be handed in to the International Relations Office in Graz.
Changes to the Learning Agreement
If you attend different courses at your host university than those originally listed in your Learning Agreement before your stay, you must update your Learning Agreement within 5 weeks after the start of your stay abroad.
- Are you attending new courses?
Apply for a new pre-notification (Vorausbescheid) for the new course(s). Once you have received the approved pre-notification (Vorausbescheid), you can update your Learning Agreement.
- Do you wish to drop certain courses and not attend any new ones?
In this case, no new pre-notification (Vorausbescheid) is needed. You can update your Learning Agreement directly.
A detailed step-by-step guide will be sent to you by email.
Do you wish to extend your stay?
The information below is valid for the academic year 2025/26.
If you wish to extend your stay, send us an email to erasmus.outgoing(at)uni-graz.at. Please read the information below carefully.
We will also send you an email with detailed instructions.
An extension of the Erasmus+ study period must not result in an interruption of the Erasmus+ study period abroad. Example: Your original period of stay is from 01.10.2023 to 31.01.2024. The extension must then be applied for from 01.02.2024 (not earlier and not later).

To apply for an extension of your stay, you need to submit the following documents.

- Pre-notification (Vorausbescheid) for the extension period: as before the stay.
- Learning Agreement: After you’ve received your confirmed Vorausbescheid, you can make the Changes to the LA according to the instructions you have received via email.

- Application for thesis (only if you are working on the thesis during the stay): In case you decide doing so, please let us now as soon as possible and we release the template for download from Mobility-Online for you. Download it, fill it in and have it signed by your thesis supervisor in Graz.
