Government amended the rules for crossing the border by full-time students

On April 2, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a resolution "On Amendments to the Rules for Crossing the State Border by Citizens of Ukraine."

Earlier, students of Mariupol and Sumy State Universities had proposed to restore this possibility during meetings with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. On the President's instructions, the Ministry of Education and Science developed a corresponding resolution.
The document stipulates that male students will be able to cross the border during martial law if they are

• are between the ages of 18 and 22 and are not subject to military service during mobilization;
• are studying full-time in Ukrainian higher education institutions of state or municipal ownership and are obtaining a bachelor's degree (master's degree in medicine, pharmacy or veterinary medicine);
• are participants in educational academic mobility;
• are going to study at foreign educational institutions for 1 semester.

To cross the border to study on academic mobility programs, students must have

• a certificate from a higher education institution of Ukraine on the referral of a participant of the academic mobility program to study at a foreign educational institution, indicating
• the basis for cooperation; the duration of the academic semester abroad;
• the absence of negative grades and facts of retakes of tests and exams based on the results of the last two semesters (six months);
• confirmation of the level of knowledge of the language of instruction in a foreign educational institution;
• a copy of the academic mobility agreement certified by the Ukrainian educational institution;
• e-ticket of the student verified by means of the portal "Diia";
• military registration documents with the appropriate marks of the district, city military and social support center.

For reference.
Academic mobility is an opportunity for students to temporarily travel abroad for study or internships to gain new knowledge and experience. For universities, it is also a way to strengthen partnerships with foreign institutions.
