Table-1 Selection Criteria and Weighted Score Table

The application of “-10 points” deduction in case of prior benefit is not applied for mobility activities performed at the previous level of education or other than higher education student mobility. It is applied if a student who has completed mobility applies again within the same level of education.

For students who were elected in a previous election period within the same level of education, but did not perform their activities without force majeure, a deduction of “-10 points” is applied for each activity for which the activity was not performed, despite being eligible. If the higher education institution allows a period of time for students to inform that they have given up by anticipating the abandonment and students inform that they have given up within this period, the deduction of points is not applied.

If the higher education institution makes the education choices within the same application and evaluation process; if a student who has not benefited from mobility before applies for both education and internship activities at the same time, it is left to the student's preference in which activity the “-10 point” deduction will be applied. In this case, a petition is received from the student in which activity he prefers to apply a reduction. If a student who has previously benefited from mobility applies for both education and internship activities at the same time, a “-20” point deduction is applied from the type of mobility he previously benefited from and a “-10” point deduction is applied from the second type of mobility he applied for.

Deductions are made based on the student's total score.

Students studying in a double major can apply for mobility from only one major during the same application period.

The ranking of students' scores is made within the relevant department / faculty according to the quotas allocated to the departments or faculties.

4.2.3 Note Cast

The student's grade point average must meet the minimum requirements at the application stage. The most recent tran taken by the student is used to determine the grade point average. Student participation (elections) current is based on the use of a tran issued by the institution of higher education, although the first period at the doctoral level graduate and higher education institutions the applicant and made the choice not yet received for previous students in tertiary education is a tran grade point is used. Similarly, the graduation grade obtained at the previous level of education is used for students who applied for the first semester at the undergraduate level and have not yet completed a tran at the higher education institution where the selection was made. For students who have transferred from another higher education institution by horizontal or vertical transfer and have not yet formed a grade point average in the higher education institution where the selection has been made, the grade point averages contained in the final tran they received from the higher education institution they came from are taken into account.

6.2. Duration and Grant Calculations

The exact duration of the activity is calculated according to the start-end dates of the activity contained in the participation certificate.

The grant to be given to the student is calculated using the “Beneficiary Module (BM)”.

Beneficiary Module (BM) The activity period calculated by entering the start-end dates and subtracting the downtime periods, if any, must meet the minimum period. For example, an activity calculated to last 1 month and 25 days in the study mobility is not accepted because it does not comply with the minimum activity period requirement, unless there is a force majeure reason that will oblige the student to return early.

 If the students who have been selected and have started their activities extend their activities, if there are sufficient grants in the relevant operating budget of the higher education institution, grants may be granted for the extended period of activity. In the event that the budget is not sufficient to cover the extension periods of all students who want an extension, the students who will be granted grants are determined in accordance with the principle of impartiality and transparency based on their success in the first selection.

If the student performs activities for a shorter period of time than the stipulated grant period, if the initial payment was paid more than calculated for the exact period of activity, the student is asked to refund the excess amount.

The maximum amount determined in the student's contract corresponds to the highest amount that can be given to the student. In case the activity period lasts shorter than expected, the total payment to be paid to the student remains below the maximum grant amount. However, in the event that the activity lasts longer than October and the grant to be given is more than the maximum amount specified in the contract, an additional contract containing the increase and its justification should be drawn up for the increase in the maximum grant amount.

The duration of the students' activities is determined according to the start-end dates of the activities specified in the tuition agreement or in the participation documents if the document is separately arranged; in the usual case, October documents are not requested from the students. However, the document of the activity on the start-does not contain the actual date of end date, or the student, except official holidays, so under normal circumstances, the dates that need to continue learning at the host institution (city / country) is known explicitly, leaving in cases where additional research and the student have been seen to be done continuously for 7 (seven) calendar day (including weekends) for a period of more that is separated from the host institution if it is determined the total number of days of the stay separate for the grant in question is paid.

2) Failure to Fill out the Participant Questionnaire: Except for technical reasons, students who do not fill out the participant questionnaire are deducted in the amount of 20% of the total final grant.
