Registrations

I must provide official identification. Which documents are accepted? Accepted documents: double-sided national identity card (CNI), passport, valid residence permit.
If you don't have either of these two documents, a driving license in the format recognized by the European Union.

I need to provide proof of school/university/extra-curricular/civil liability insurance. What is civil liability or school-university insurance? Where can I obtain a certificate of liability insurance?

Civil liability is an insurance policy that obliges all persons to repair damage caused to others through fault, carelessness or negligence, or by objects owned, rented or borrowed.
All students must be covered by civil liability insurance as part of their studies (see the University of Montpellier's internal regulations). the internal regulations of the University of Montpellier).
Where can I obtain a civil liability certificate?
From your insurer, your mutual insurance company or when you open a bank account in France.
The certificate must bear the words "responsabilité civile" ("civil liability").

• Make sure you're not over-insured: before taking out any insurance, check that your comprehensive home or rental insurance (or that of your parents) doesn't already cover your private life or school/extra-curricular activities.
• The certificate must be valid on the date of registration and include your full name.
• A professional liability policy does not correspond to the request made for an administrative registration.
• Similarly, a membership form or a payment slip do not constitute proof of insurance: these 2 documents are not acceptable.
• The certificate must bear the words "civil liability".

I need to provide a transcript of my baccalaureate grades. Where can I find it?
You can download your transcript by logging into your Cyclades account (Menu -> My Documents).

I need to provide a notification from Parcoursup. Where can I find it?

For online photo submission to the Pjweb application, only JPG and JPEG formats are accepted.

I have to provide the Journée Défense et Citoyenneté (JDC/JAPD). What do I do if I've lost my certificate of participation?

French students under the age of 26 must provide proof of their national service obligations in order to be authorized to register for examinations and competitions subject to public authority control.

Only one copy of the certificate is issued. However, before your 25th birthday, you can request (by post or e-mail) a status certificate from your local national service center (the one in the department where you took your census) or the one near your place of residence, along with a copy of your national identity card.

I need to provide a CVEC certificate. Where can I find it?

Before registering at university, you need to log on to the cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr website to find out what you need to do.

Depending on your situation, you will be asked for your CVEC number and/or certificate when you register.

The CVEC procedure must be carried out for the academic year of registration, i.e. 2024-2025.

Step 1: Complete the necessary formalities via cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr. Remember to have your INE number ready (please spell your first and last names correctly).

Step 2: Keep your certificate, as you'll be asked for it when you register, whether or not you're exempt from paying the contribution: the certificate is compulsory.

Step 3: Register or re-register according to the procedures in place at your faculty (UFR), school or institute.

Depending on your situation, either :

• You will be asked to pay a lump sum of 103€.
• You'll be exempt

In both cases, you will be issued with a certificate: without it, you cannot complete your administrative registration.

Please note: For non-scholarship students, we invite you to log on now to mesServices.etudiant.gouv.fr to create an account and simplify your procedures.

If you register for more than one course in the same academic year, this contribution is only due for the first registration.

The CVEC is a contribution "intended to promote the social, health, cultural and sporting welcome and support of students, and to bolster the preventive and health education actions carried out for them".
Whatever your situation (having paid the CVEC or exempt), you must provide a CVEC certificate when you register or re-register.

I'm a minor, what documents do I need to provide?
You must provide a registration authorization from your legal guardians. Once completed, it will be kept in your file by the registration department.

Applications for scholarships, and for student accommodation if required, are managed by the Montpellier CROUS after submission of a Dossier Social Etudiant (Student Social File). When you register, you'll be asked to show your scholarship notification, which exempts you from registration fees.

I didn't receive my CROUS notification when I registered. What should I do?
You will register at the full rate and as soon as you receive your notification, you will be able to request a refund of your registration fees.
Please note that if you request payment in three instalments, the refund will not be made until at least two weeks after the last instalment, i.e. within two to three months of your registration.
If you declared yourself a scholarship holder when you registered/registered online, but have not yet received notification from the CROUS, you will be asked to pay your registration fees in full.

Reimbursement is made to a third party's bank account. You must attach a third-party reimbursement authorization to the RIB.

Details of the fees paid at the time of registration are shown :

• on the receipt of rights in your ENT space ("My file" thumbnail)
• on the Scol'Pass receipt, issued on request from your school.

For online registration, payment can be made by credit card (Visa or Mastercard).
For on-site registration, payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard, or by cheque made payable to the University of Montpellier's Accounting Officer.

What's the difference between these 3 numbers? The Base-Elèves Académique, or BEA, is a number assigned to every Sixième student in France, enabling individual identification in secondary education. The Identifiant National Etudiant, or INE, is assigned to every student enrolled in Terminale in France since 1995, or already enrolled in a French public higher education establishment.

Since 2018, the INE number has consisted of eleven characters, of which only the last 2 are letters.

The INE number assigned prior to 2018 consists of eleven characters, combining numbers and 1 to 5 letters.

The INE number differs from the social security number, also known as the INSEE number, in format (15 digits) and usage.

The INE is generally shown on the baccalauréat transcript (final or early tests). It also appears on school certificates issued by high schools and universities.

The student number (in addition to your name) serves as a personal identifier, particularly in cases of homonymy. The student number assigned by the University of Montpellier cannot be used at any other university, unlike the n°INE, which is recognized nationally.

I can't find my INE (Identifiant National Etudiant) number? The INE number is mandatory for your administrative registration.

• If you were a candidate for a French baccalauréat or enrolled in French higher education: you can find it on your baccalauréat transcript or your higher education transcript.
• If you are a foreign student who has already studied in French higher education, you will find your INE number on your student card, school certificate or transcript.

I don't have an INE, what should I do?
The university will issue you with an INE when you first register. It will then be valid at all French universities.

I forgot to enter my INE when I registered online and I've been given a new one. What should I do?
You must report the anomaly to the Registration Department immediately.

I don't know my address at the start of the school year? What do I need to know when I register?
We recommend that you give a fixed family address for the fall. Don't forget to specify "Chez M/Mme..." if your name is not on the letterbox. You can then notify the Enrolment Department of your change of address at any time. This address is particularly important, as it will be used to contact you by post if necessary.

I'm going to change my address during the academic year. Do I need to report this?
Yes, you need to report this as soon as possible to your Registrar. Your address is particularly important, as it will be used to contact you by post if necessary.
