The Charter is a short information leaflet that tells Erasmus students what they are entitled to and also what they are expected to do during their secondment.” “The Erasmus Student Charter outlines the basic entitlements of the Erasmus students, such as free tuition and full recognition of studies abroad. The Charter also specifies the main obligations of the Erasmus students, providing them with a concise idea of their duties in respect to both their home and host universities. It will be issued to all Erasmus students by their home universities before they leave for their study period abroad.” Consult also “Your rights as a mobile student” (Youth on the Move guide to the rights of mobile students in the European Union) http://ec.europa.eu/education/pub/pdf/higher/move_en.pdf ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Welcome & Well‐being at Harokopio University, Kallithea‐Athens ERASMUS OFFICE, www.erasmus.hua.gr T. +302109549 330, F. +30 210 9577050, [email protected] Author: Dr. E.
