I was registered at the UM in a previous year but not in 2021-2022. I cannot re-register online, what should I do?
You should contact the registration service of your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute who will tell you how to register.

To log in you will need to enter your :

• student number: available on the document received by email at the end of your registration (top right) or accessible on the consultation application.
• date of birth to be written in DDMMYYY format

I have to submit my supporting documents online on "PJ Web". What file formats are accepted and what is the maximum size for each file?

• The authorized file extensions are: "jpeg", "jpg", "pdf", "png"; except for the ID photo which must be provided in "jpeg" or "jpg" only.

On the "PJ web" application for filing documents online, I can only file one file even though I have several files that correspond to the requested document.
There are free tools for scanning documents with your cell phone. These tools also allow you to modify "pdf" files in order to have two files in one. You can easily find these free tools on the internet.

If you do not have either of these two documents, the driving license in the format recognized by the European Union. Refused documents: bus card, train card, etc...

I need to provide a certificate of liability / school/extra-curricular insurance. What is a public liability or school insurance? Where can I get a certificate of liability?

Civil liability is an insurance that corresponds to the obligation of each person to repair the damage caused to others, by fault, by imprudence, by negligence or by the objects owned, rented or borrowed.
All students must be covered by civil liability insurance in the context of their studies (cf. the internal regulations of the University of Montpellier).
From whom can I obtain a certificate of civil liability?
From your insurance company, from your mutual insurance company or when you open a bank account in France.
The certificate must bear the mention "civil liability".

Important : Be careful not to over-insure yourself: before subscribing, make sure that your comprehensive home insurance or your rental insurance (or those of your parents) does not already cover private life or school/extra-curricular activities.

A professional liability policy does not correspond to the request made for an administrative registration. Likewise, a membership form or a fee payment is not a proof of insurance: these 2 documents are not admissible.

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

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

I must provide a declaration on my honor. Where can I find it?

I must provide the JAPD/JDC. What do I do if I have lost my certificate of participation in the call-up day?

French students under 25 years of age 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 mail or e-mail) a certificate of status from the national service center where you live (the one in the department where you took your census) or from 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 the University, you must log on to the cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr website to find out about the steps to take.

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

The CVEC process must be completed for the academic year of enrollment, i.e. 2022-2023.

Step 1: Complete the necessary steps via cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr (remember to have your INE number ready)

Please note: For non-scholarship students, we invite you to log on to the mesServices.etudiant.gouv.fr website in order to create an account and facilitate 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 reception and social, health, cultural and sports support of students and to support the preventive and health education actions carried out for them".
Whatever your situation (having paid the CVEC or exempted) you must provide a CVEC certificate at the time of your registration or re-enrollment.

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

Applications for scholarships, and possibly for student housing, are managed by the CROUS of Montpellier after submission of a Student Social File. When you register, you will be asked to show your scholarship notification, which will exempt you from paying registration fees.

I did not receive my notification from CROUS 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 ask for a refund of your registration fees.
If you ask for payment in three instalments, the refund can only be made two to three months after the last instalment is taken.

The refund is made by bank transfer. You must present to the Registrar's Office: your student card, a copy of both sides of the CROUS notification mentioning a step, as well as a bank account number, preferably in your name. If the reimbursement is made to a third party's bank account, you must attach to the RIB an authorization for reimbursement to a third party.

Registration fees are set by ministerial decree. They include the right to the diploma and the right of access to the University Library.
Details of the fees paid at the time of your registration appear on the Scol'Pass fee receipt or on your registration summary which can be downloaded online from your computer account (ENT) ("Récap Inscription" sticker).

I don't have a way to pay. Can someone else pay the registration fees for me?
Yes. However, be careful about the solvency of this third party so as not to find yourself in a situation of unpaid fees with the university.

Is it possible to pay in installments? Yes, for a registration to a national diploma. Payment in three instalments is possible for amounts of 100 € or more. The first third must be paid by credit card when you register online or when you finalize your registration on the registration page.

What is the difference between these 3 numbers? The Base-Elèves Académique, or BEA, is a number assigned to each student in the Sixième class in France for individual identification in secondary education. The National Student Identifier, or INE, is assigned to every student enrolled in the final year of high school in France since 1995 or already enrolled in a French public institution of higher learning.

As of 2018, the INE number is in the form of eleven characters with only the last 2 being 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 (fifteen digits) and usage.

The INE is usually found on the transcript of the baccalaureate (final or early tests). It also appears on the school certificates issued by high schools and universities.

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

I can't find my INE (National Student Identifier) number? The INE number is mandatory for your administrative registration.
If you have been a candidate for a French baccalaureate or you have been enrolled in French higher education: you can find it on your baccalaureate transcript or on your higher education transcript.
If you are a foreign student and you have already studied in French higher education: you can find your INE number on your student card, school certificate or on your transcript.

I don't have an INE, what should I do?
An INE will be assigned to you by the university when you first register. An INE will be given to you by the university when you first register. It will be valid thereafter in all French universities.

I forgot to enter my INE when I registered online and I was given a new one, what should I do?
You must report the anomaly to the Registration Department immediately.

I don't know my address when I start school? What do I need to know when I register?
It is recommended that you provide a fixed family address for the fall. Don't forget to specify "Mr./Ms." if your name is not on the mailbox. You can then report your change of address to the registration department at any time. This address is particularly important because it will be used to communicate with you by mail, if necessary.

I will change my address during the academic year. Do I need to report this?
Yes, you must report this to your school office as soon as possible. Your address is particularly important because it is the one that will be used to communicate with you by mail, if necessary.

Requests for study and/or examination accommodations in 2022-2023
