In other words, you cannot apply for Bachelor mobility unless you are registered in a Lotus partner university (TG1) OR you belong to a vulnerable group (TG3) as stipulated on the website. Any attempt to by-pass this rule by applying under the wrong target group, will result in the dismissal of your application (non-validation of your file).
