There are regular and online Greek language courses, which start at the beginning of each semester. These courses are organized specifically for Erasmus+ students with the support of the EU and are offered free of charge under certain conditions in regard to absences.

2. Middle East Technical University
Orientation Program for Incoming Exchange Students:
METU organizes an orientation program each semester for welcoming incoming students. It is highly recommended to incoming students to participate in the orientation program because students are provided with vital information on course registration, campus accommodation, health issues, METU’s IT facilities and residence permit. http://ico.metu.edu.tr/orientation
Inclusion and Accessibility:
METU has a Disability Support Office (DSO; http://engelsiz.metu.edu.tr/en) and “METU without Barriers” student club. DSO offers academic support (academic accommodations, note-taker support, etc.) and orientation programs designed according to the specific needs of disabled students. It also provides transportation support on campus in cases of motor disabilities and visual disabilities (wheelchair accessible vehicle and free taxi service for in-campus transportation). Also, some buildings on campus are accessible for individuals with serious mobility impairments and in others disabled-friendly facilities are being constructed.
Students/staff with disabilities must submit their disability report to METU before the start of their mobility so that necessary arrangements could be done by ICO in cooperation with DSO. The disability report must be in English language and issued by a certified expert (such as a medical doctor, psychiatrist, etc.) in the disabled individual’s country. Documents that are older than 1 year (except those without any due date) and those in languages other than English cannot be processed by DSO, thus disability support cannot be provided in such cases.
Available support services for people with:
- Visual disabilities
- Auditory disabilities
- Motor disabilities
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Learning disabilities
- Speech and language disorders
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Psychiatric disorders
- Chronic health conditions
