Erasmus+

Our Erasmus Office will be happy to provide guidance and help you answer your questions. You may contact us by email, or talk to us in person during the office hours listed below (Building A2 2, Room 2.08.2). Please note that we cannot always deal with Erasmus requests immediately. Some requests may take one or two weeks to answer.

Office hours are very limited, so we kindly ask you to send an e-mail for queries concerning

• signature of Learning Agreements
• questions concerning the Learning Agreement
• Transcript of Records
• deadlines for nomination or application
• existence of a cooperation agreement with your chosen host universities

Certificates of arrival/departure will be signed at the International Office (except Ostpartnerschaften)!

We aim to reply as soon as possible, but sometimes there is simply not enough time to deal with all requests at the same time.

Before you leave for your stay abroad, you must complete a Learning Agreement. Your Learning Agreement will specify all the classes you would like to take at the host university, and their respective ECTS. Should you require a signature on the Learning Agreement, please contact us at the Erasmus Office’s email address. Both the coordinator and office staff have access to that email address.

For new Learning Agreements, there is a template, or you can create an Online Learning Agreement (OLA). In order to help you with filling in the (O)LA, we have written a guideline (at the moment in German only!). Please insert in an Excel spreadsheet your classes, descriptions of the classes from the host university's website and the classes at UdS for which you want the credits recognized. We will then check if UdS can accept the recognition. You can find more information on the page Recognition of credits.

At the Department of Language Science and Technology, your lecturers will forward your exam results to the Erasmus Office. For classes you have attended at other departments of Saarland University, you will need to send us your transcripts by email to erasmus-languages(at)io.uni-saarland.de. We will then send you the completed transcript. It may take some time until your transcript is ready to be sent out due to the deadlines involved with grading your exams. Should your home university need the information earlier, please let us know, and the Erasmus Office will issue a preliminary confirmation of participation for you.
