Information for Erasmus+ and Exchange Students

Dear Erasmus and Exchange Students,

We would like to share with you the decisions made by the University Administration on 13.03.2020 regarding COVID-19

1.  Erasmus/Exchange students who would like to return to Turkey because of Coronavirus can complete their programs by following their lectures online if their universities are currently offering online education.

2. Exchange/Erasmus students who have not gone abroad yet and are attending their classes online in Turkey may fill out the form (which can be found in the ‘Announcements’ section on the website of the Office of International Relations) with their department advisors and send it to Dean’s Office/Schools/Graduate Enstitutes until Friday, 20th of March, in case they change their minds and decide to register at Boğaziçi University for the semester. The students must send a copy of this form to the Office of International Relations as well. These students may attend classes starting from 6th of April.

3. In case their current university is not providing online education or they decide to return to Turkey for any other reason, students may fill out the form (which can be found in the ‘Announcements’ section on the website of the Office of International Relations) with their department advisors and send it to Dean’s Office/Schools/Graduate Enstitutes until 20th of March. The students must send a copy of this form to the Office of International Relations as well. The students may attend classes starting from 6th of April after being quarantined for 14 days after their arrival. For students to explain their trip and, if necessary, for their return to the university, we might ask for a medical report and a 14-day-long recovery at home.

4. In case their current university is not providing online education and the student does not want to register to any courses in this semester at BU, he/she may ask for permisson to have a leave of absence not to be counted in their study period.
