What happens if I fail an erasmus year?

I have to make up 30 credits each semester. I passed everything last semester, but this semester the German courses have got more difficult and it’s too hard, I’m pretty sure I’m going to fail the German exams, so that means I’ll fail the semester overall because I won’t make 30 credits

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Do I have to pay back the Erasmus grant?

Do I fail the study year abroad?

Erm nothing I guess, because you are coming back here to do your compulsory modules. The Erasmus year is an extra year. Never heard of anyone who failed it tbh.

Hi, in TH Köln, i don't think they set a new exam for me. I just fail :frown: Everthing is going really bad with my life. I don't want to live anymore. Literally, i'm thinking about suicide. If they ask for my grant back, i will need to give them 2k euros.

They don't help at all. Before the exam date, i asked to 1 staff who are responsible of exams and he didn't even replied me. And the exam date was not written at any page of uni. :frown:

I don't know either. If i had a medical report, i think i would be able to retake the exam at least. But i am not sure :frown:

Hi, thank you so much for asking. I talked with one of my friend and he told me that i can take make up exam at September. The problem is that my visa expires at 31st of August. So, i will need to extend it. So i will apply for it. What do you think about Visa extension in Germany? Do you think they will find my excuse reasonable?

Since it was weekend, there was noone to reply my questions. But today i am going to call Studium büro. And also i will go Turkish consolate in order to get some information on visa extension. For some urgent and needed situation they may not ask for visa fee, but i am not sure if it will be acceptable for my situation. I will make sure that too.
