Application, Admission & Registration

When you register, you must provide all the documents requested by your UFR/School/Institute.

You will be asked to provide proof of school/university/extra-curricular insurance or valid third-party insurance. All students must be covered by civil liability insurance for their studies (see University of Montpellier internal regulations).

It's an insurance policy that obliges you to repair damage caused to others through fault, carelessness or negligence, or by items you own, rent or borrow.

Important: which document do I need? Where can I get it?

• You can obtain this document from your insurer, your mutual insurance company or when you open a bank account in France.
• Make sure you're not over-insured: before taking out any insurance, check that your comprehensive home or rental insurance (or those of your parents) do not 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".

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

1. Complete the necessary formalities via cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr. Remember to have your INE number ready (be sure to spell your first and last names correctly). Your surname entered in the university registration application and the surname entered on your CVEC certificate must be identical and consistent with what is indicated on your identity documents).
2. Keep your certificate, as you will be asked for it when you register, whether or not you are exempt from paying the contribution: the certificate is compulsory.
3. Register or re-register according to the procedures in place at your faculty, school or institute.

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".

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.

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 fill in when I register?
We recommend that you give a fixed family address for the autumn. 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.

Requests for accommodations for studies and/or exams and competitive examinations in 2023-2024
You can benefit from accommodations for studies and/or exams and competitive examinations. To do so, you need to complete an online form.

I've interrupted my studies for more than two years. What should I do?
You must apply to the University's Continuing Education Department for authorization to resume your studies, to find out whether you are covered by the initial training program or the continuing education program, which may be financed.

While waiting to hear from another educational establishment, I have registered at the University of Montpellier. What should I do if I change my mind about continuing my studies?

You must contact Enrolment Services as soon as possible to request a cancellation and refund of tuition fees. This is automatic if you submit a written request before August 26, 2024. On the other hand, refunds for cancellations requested on or after August 27 must be examined by a commission, according to certain criteria, and may be refused in the absence of convincing justification.

Please note: a request to cancel a registration and a withdrawal from an admissions platform (Parcoursup, eCandidat, MonMaster, etc.) are two separate procedures. All registration cancellations must be requested from the registration department of your UFR/School/Institute.

I'm registered at another French university and would like to request a transfer during the academic year. How do I go about it? Please contact your school for further information, as the transfer procedure must follow a specific procedure. The transfer is subject to the agreement of both school heads.

All late registrations are systematically subject to a late registration authorization, which may be refused in the absence of convincing proof.

The card gives access to the University's premises. It must be presented to the university authorities or agents designated by them whenever requested. Refusal to present the card may result in disciplinary proceedings. Lending, exchanging, falsifying or attempting to falsify a card is prohibited and may result in disciplinary action.

When and where can I obtain my student card?
When you complete your first administrative enrolment at the University of Montpellier, at the Enrolment Center or the Registrar's Office. Details will be provided by the department concerned. When you re-register, the card is updated with a sticker indicating the new academic year.

I've lost my card, or it's been stolen or damaged (bent, broken, etc.). What should I do?
First, check with your school to make sure it hasn't been found.
Request a renewal (subject to a fee) via the "CMSWEB" application on your ENT ("Student card" label). On the other hand, if your card is faulty (inactive, mute, etc.), you must go to your Registrar's Office: it may be a manufacturing defect. The card will be renewed free of charge.

The Scol'Pass is an A4 document containing three school certificates and a receipt for your tuition fees. The Scol'Pass is issued on completion of your enrolment, on request from your school.

Scol'Pass is not the only way to obtain a school certificate. If you are regularly enrolled, you can access it via your computer account (ENT), ("My file" tab - "Enrolments" section).

How can I obtain my certificate of attendance and/or receipt of fees paid?
You can download your certificate of attendance and/or receipt of fees paid from your ENT ("My file" thumbnail - "Enrolments" section):
