What You Need to Know About Registration

School, college, or extracurricular insurance, or liability insurance: an important supporting document

When you register, you must submit all the documents requested by your academic department, school, or institute.

You are required to provide a valid school/university/extracurricular insurance certificate or a valid civil liability insurance certificate. All students must be covered by civil liability insurance as part of their studies (see the University of Montpellier’s internal regulations).

This type of insurance covers the obligation that everyone has to compensate others for damages caused through fault, carelessness, negligence, or by objects they own, rent, or borrow.

Important: What document do I need to provide? Or where can I get it?

  • You can obtain this document from your insurer, your health insurance provider, or when opening a bank account in France
  • Be careful not to over-insure yourself: before purchasing any policy, check first to see if your comprehensive home insurance or renters' insurance (or your parents' policies) already covers your private life or school-related and extracurricular activities.
  • The certificate must be valid as of the date of registration and must include your first and last name.
  • Professional liability insurance does not meet the requirements for administrative registration.
  • Similarly, a membership application or proof of payment of dues does not constitute proof of insurance: neither of these two documents is acceptable.
  • The certificate must include the words “civil liability.”
Student Life and Campus Services (CVEC)

Before you enroll at the university, you must log in to the cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr website to review the steps you need to take.

  1. Complete the necessary steps at cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr. Be sure to have your INE number ready beforehand (be careful to spell your first and last names correctly. The last name you entered in the university’s registration application and the last name on your CVEC certificate must be identical and match what is shown on your identification documents.)
  2. Keep your certificate; you will be asked to provide it when you register, regardless of whether or not you are exempt from the fee: the certificate is required.
  3. Complete your registration or re-registration according to the procedures established by your college, school, or institute

The CVEC is a contribution “intended to promote the reception and social, health, cultural, and athletic support for students and to strengthen the health prevention and education initiatives carried out on their behalf.”

Depending on your situation, either:

  • You will be asked to pay a flat fee of €103
  • you will be exempt

In either case, you will be issued a certificate: without it, you cannot complete your administrative registration.

Please note: Students who are not receiving scholarships are encouraged to log in now at mesServices.etudiant.gouv.fr to create an account and streamline the process.

If you enroll in multiple programs during the same academic year, this fee is due only upon your first enrollment.

How do I log in to the “Réins web” app to re-enroll at UM?
First, log in to your UM IT account (ENT).
Next, click on the corresponding icon.

When I log in to the app, nothing happens. What should I do?
You likely have a pop-up blocker issue (in your browser settings or through an ad-blocking add-on).
You'll need to disable the pop-up blocker to sign up. It's also a good idea to clear your browsing history.

I was enrolled at UM in a previous academic year but not in 2023–2024. I’m having trouble re-enrolling online. What should I do?
You must contact the registration office of your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute , which will explain the enrollment procedures to you.

I registered online. How do I submit my supporting documents online?
Log in to the “PJ Web” supporting document submission application using the icon available in your ENT (Digital Workspace).

Please note: If this is your first time registering at UM, you must first activate your account on the ENT (Digital Workspace).

I need to submit my supporting documents online via “PJ Web.” What file formats are accepted, and what is the maximum size for each file?

  • The permitted file extensions are: “jpeg,” “jpg,” “pdf,” and “png”; however, the ID photo must be submitted in “jpeg” or “jpg” format only.
  • Prefer scanned images over photographs, but photographs are accepted if they are legible and of good quality.
  • The size of each file must not exceed 4 MB.

How can I tell if the Admissions Office has received the supporting documents I submitted online via the “PJ Web” application?
You must log in to the “PJ Web” application for submitting supporting documents via the icon available in your ENT (Digital Workspace) and check the validation status of the documents you submitted.
Check your email regularly. The registration office will contact you regarding your supporting documents.

One of my supporting documents has been “rejected.” What should I do?

  • Log back into the “PJ web” app; the reason for the rejection will be displayed.
  • You will then need to submit a new supporting document and resubmit it through the app.

On the “PJ web” app for submitting documents online, I can only upload a single file, even though I have several files that correspond to the requested supporting document.
There are free tools available for scanning documents with your cell phone. These tools also allow you to combine PDF files so that you have two files in one. You can easily find these free tools online.
There are also features on computers that allow you to merge multiple PDF documents (PDF printer).

In the “PJ web” app for submitting documents online, what should I do if a document doesn’t apply to me?

  • You must report this to your registration office.
  • You can add a blank page labeled "NOT APPLICABLE."

You must report any data entry errors to the registration office of your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute, which will make the corrections.

Supporting Documents

I need to provide an official form of identification. Which documents are accepted? Accepted documents : national ID card (front and back), passport, valid residence permit.
If you do not have any of these documents, a driver’s license in the format recognized by the European Union.
Documents not accepted: bus pass, train pass, etc.

I need to provide proof of school, university, or extracurricular liability insurance. What is liability insurance or school/university insurance?

Civil liability insurance covers the obligation of every individual to compensate others for damages caused by fault, carelessness, 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).

Where can I obtain a civil liability certificate?
From your insurer, your health insurance provider, or when opening a bank account in France.
The certificate must include the words “civil liability.”

Important :

  • Be careful not to over-insure yourself: before purchasing any policy, check first to see if your comprehensive home insurance or renters' insurance (or your parents' policies) already covers your private life or school-related and extracurricular activities.
  • The certificate must be valid as of the date of registration and must include your first and last name.
  • Professional liability insurance does not meet the requirements for administrative registration.
  • Similarly, a membership application or proof of payment of dues does not constitute proof of insurance: neither of these two documents is acceptable.
  • The certificate must include the words “civil liability.”

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

I need to provide a Parcoursup notification. Where can I find it?
You can download your Parcoursup notification by accessing your account on the Parcoursup website (My Dashboard -> Admission -> Certificate).

I need to submit a MonMaster notification. Where can I find it?
You can download your MonMaster notification by accessing your account on the MonMaster website (under “My Applications” and “My Work-Study Applications”).

I need to provide a summary of my online registration. Where can I find it?
To obtain a summary of your registration, you can download it from your online account (ENT). Click on the “Registration Summary” icon.

I need to provide a passport photo. What format is accepted?

The photo appears on the student ID card; it must have a plain background, no border, and be in “passport photo” format.
When uploading the photo online via the Pjweb application, only JPG and JPEG formats are accepted.
Please note: PDF files are NOT accepted.

I need to submit a sworn statement. Where can I find it?
Please find the PDF and Word versions of the form.

If you submit your supporting documents online (using the PJWeb application), you can download the instructions for signing a PDF.

If you are unable to use the PDF form, you can use the Word version and insert your scanned signature (an image of your signature) into it, or print it out, fill it out, and scan it to submit it online via the PJWeb application.

I need to complete the Defense and Citizenship Day (JDC/JAPD). What should I do if I've lost my certificate of participation in the draft registration day?

French students under the age of 25 must provide proof of their status with regard to national service obligations in order to be authorized to register for exams and competitive examinations administered by public authorities.

Only one copy of the certificate is issued. However, before your 25th birthday, you may request (by mail or email) a certificate of status from the National Service Center with which you are registered (the one in your census department) or the one closest to your place of residence, along with a copy of your national ID card.

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

Before you enroll at the university, you must log in to the cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr website to review the steps you need to take.

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

The CVEC process must be completed for the academic year of enrollment, namely 2024–2025.

Step 1: Complete the necessary steps at cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr. Be sure to have your INE number ready beforehand (make sure to spell your first and last names correctly).

Step 2: Keep your certificate; you will be asked to provide it when you register, regardless of whether you are exempt from the fee or not: the certificate is required.

Step 3: Complete your registration or re-registration according to the procedures established by your college (UFR), school, or institute.

Depending on your situation, either:

  • You will be asked to pay a flat fee of €103
  • You will be exempt

In either case, you will be issued a certificate: without it, you cannot complete your administrative registration.

Please note: For students who do not receive financial aid, we encourage you to log in now at mesServices.etudiant.gouv.fr to create an account and streamline your application process.

If you enroll in multiple programs during the same academic year, this fee is due only upon your first enrollment.

The CVEC is a fee “intended to promote the reception and social, health, cultural, and athletic support of students and to strengthen prevention and health education initiatives carried out for their benefit.”
Regardless of your situation (whether you have paid the CVEC or are exempt), you must provide a CVEC certificate when you enroll or re-enroll.

I am a minor. What document do I need to provide?
You must provide a registration authorization form signed by your legal guardians. Once completed, it will be kept in your file by the registration office.

CROUS Grants / Reimbursement

Applications for financial aid—and, if applicable, student housing—are processed by the CROUS in Montpellier after you submit a Student Social File. When you register, you will be asked to provide your financial aid notification, which specifies the award level; this exempts you from paying tuition fees.

I haven’t received my CROUS notification yet, but I’m registering now. What should I do?
You will register at the full rate, and as soon as you receive your notification, you can request a refund of your registration fees.
Please note: if you opt for payment in three installments, the refund can only be processed at least fifteen days after the final payment, which will occur within two to three months of your enrollment.
If you indicated that you are a scholarship recipient during your online enrollment or re-enrollment but have not yet received your CROUS notification, you will be asked to pay the full tuition fee.

How do I get a refund of my registration fees if I am awarded a scholarship after I have registered?
The refund will be issued via bank transfer. You must present the following to the Registrar’s Office: your student ID card, a copy of both sides of the CROUS notification indicating your grant tier, and a bank account number (RIB), preferably in your name. If the refund is to be made to a third party’s bank account, you must include an authorization for third-party refund along with their bank account number (RIB).

Payment of Registration Fees

Tuition fees are set by ministerial decree. They include the fee for the degree and access to the University Library.
Details of the fees paid upon registration are listed:

  • on the receipt of payment via your ENT account (the "My File" tab)
  • on the Scol’Pass fee receipt, which can be obtained upon request from your school’s registrar’s office
  • or on your enrollment summary, which you can download online from your digital account (ENT) (click the “Enrollment Summary” icon).

Please note: These documents are issued only once administrative registration is complete (payment + approval of all supporting documents by your UFR/School/Institute).

What are the available payment methods?
For online registration, payment must be made by credit card (Visa or MasterCard).
For on-site registration, you may pay by Visa or MasterCard credit card, or by check made payable to the University of Montpellier’s Accounting Officer.
For payment by bank transfer: contact your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute of enrollment for instructions.
Registration will not be processed until payment is received. The registration office does not accept cash payments.

Can I delay the processing of my check payment?
No. Registration payments are processed daily in accordance with current regulations. If you think you may have difficulty making a payment, please do not hesitate to contact the registration coordinator.

I don't have a way to pay. Can someone else pay the registration fees for me?
Yes. However, please make sure this third party is able to pay so that you don't end up with an unpaid balance with the university.

Is it possible to pay in installments? Yes , for enrollment in a national degree program. Payment in three installments is available for amounts of €100 or more. The first installment must be paid by credit card at the time of online registration. At the same time, direct debit authorization will be set up for the remaining two installments. This payment method is not available if your credit card expires before the final scheduled payment.
Before making any payment in three installments, please ensure your credit card is valid for all three installments.

I'm having trouble paying online. What should I do?
Contact the registration office of the Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute; they may be able to offer you some solutions. For online payments, only Visa and Mastercard are accepted.

When I registered online, I indicated that I receive a means-tested scholarship (CROUS), but the amount listed does not match my situation. How can I correct this?
Go back to the “ANNUAL DATA” page of the registration application you used.
For the question: “What is the type of scholarship? ” Select: “Higher Education Grant,” and for the question: “What is the nature of your financial aid?” Select: “Need-Based Grant.”
If your issue persists and you believe you are eligible for a grant, contact the registration office of your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute or the CROUS.

My payment was declined by the bank. What should I do?
Contact your registration office as soon as possible. Until your account is in good standing, you will not be able to receive your transcripts, certificate of completion, or diploma.

I’m registering online, but I don’t want to pay online with a credit card. What should I do?
When you register online, payment is required. You may be offered the option to pay in one lump sum or in three installments.
If you are unable to pay online, you will need to complete your registration by submitting a registration application. Contact the registration office of the relevant Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute to find out the registration procedures.

I registered online, but my payment was declined. What does this mean?
Please note: Payment is required for online registration. If your payment is declined, contact the registration office of the Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute to complete your registration.

BEA / INE / Student Number

What is the difference between these three numbers? The Base-Elèves Académique ( BEA) is a number assigned to every sixth-grade student in France to identify them individually in secondary school. The Identifiant National Etudiant ( INE) has been assigned to all students enrolled in their senior year of high school in France since 1995 or who are already enrolled in a French public institution of higher education.

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

INE numbers assigned prior to 2018 consist 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 terms of its format (fifteen digits) and its purpose.

The INE is generally included on the high school diploma transcript (for the final year or early exams). It also appears on academic transcripts issued by high schools and universities.

Your student ID number (in addition to your name) serves as your personal identifier, particularly in cases where there are people with the same name. The student ID number assigned by the University of Montpellier cannot be used at another university, unlike the INE number, which is recognized nationwide.

I can't find my INE (National Student ID) number. The INE number is required for your administrative registration.

  • If you were a candidate for the French baccalaureate or were enrolled in a French higher education program: you can find this information on your baccalaureate transcript or on your higher education transcript.
  • If you are an international student and have already studied in the French higher education system, you can find your INE number on your student ID card, enrollment certificate, or transcripts.

I don't have an INE. What should I do?
The university will assign you an INE when you first enroll. It will be valid at all French universities thereafter.

I forgot to enter my INE when I registered online, and I’ve been assigned a new one. What should I do?
You should report this issue to the registration office immediately.

Mailing Address

I don’t know my address yet for the start of the school year. What should I provide when I register?
We recommend providing a permanent family address that will be valid in the fall. In this case, don’t forget to specify “c/o Mr./Mrs. …” if your name does not appear on the mailbox. You can later report any change of address to the registration office at any time. The address you provide at the time of registration is particularly important because it is the one that will be used to contact you by mail, if necessary.

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

You must submit a request for authorization to resume your studies to the University’s Continuing Education Office to determine whether you qualify for undergraduate or graduate programs, which may be eligible for financial aid.

While waiting for a response from another educational institution, I enrolled at the University of Montpellier. What should I do if I change my mind about my future studies?

You must contact the registration office as soon as possible to request a cancellation and a refund of tuition fees. You are automatically entitled to a refund if you submit a written request before August 26, 2024. However, refund requests for cancellations submitted on or after August 27 must be reviewed by a committee based on specific criteria and may be denied if you do not provide sufficient supporting documentation.

Please note: Requesting cancellation of enrollment and withdrawing from an admissions platform (Parcoursup, eCandidat, MonMaster, etc.) are two separate procedures. Any request to cancel enrollment must be submitted to the enrollment office of your UFR/School/Institute.

I am enrolled at another French university and would like to request a transfer during the academic year. How do I go about this? Check with your registrar’s office; the transfer process must follow a specific procedure. The transfer is subject to the approval of the heads of both institutions.

What happens if I don’t register by the deadline?
Registration follows a specific schedule that has been widely publicized.
Any late registration is automatically subject to approval, which may be denied if sufficient supporting documentation is not provided.

Multiservice Student Card (CMS)

The card grants access to the University’s campuses and facilities. It must be presented to university officials or their designated representatives whenever requested. Failure to present the card may result in disciplinary action. Lending, exchanging, forging, or attempting to forge the card is prohibited and is subject to penalties, including disciplinary action.

When and where can I get my student ID card?
When you complete your initial registration at the University of Montpellier, either at the registration office or the academic records office. The relevant office will provide you with specific instructions. When you re-register, the card is updated with a sticker indicating the academic year.

I’ve lost my card, or it was stolen, or it’s damaged (bent, has holes, etc.). What should I do?
First, check with your academic office to see if it’s been turned in.
Request a replacement (for a fee) through the “CMSWEB” app via your digital campus portal (click the “Student ID Card” icon). However, if the card is defective (inactive, not working, etc.), you must visit your registrar’s office: it may be a manufacturing defect. In that case, it will be replaced free of charge.

Scol’Pass / Enrollment Certificate / Receipt of Payment

The Scol’Pass is an A4-sized document that includes, among other things, three certificates of enrollment and a receipt for tuition and registration fees. The Scol’Pass is issued upon completion of your registration, upon request to your registrar’s office.

The Scol’Pass isn’t the only way to obtain a certificate of enrollment. If you are properly enrolled, you can access it through your online account (ENT) (click the “My File” tab – “Enrollment” section).

How can I obtain my enrollment certificate and/or a receipt for paid fees?
You can download your enrollment certificate and/or receipt for paid fees from your digital workspace (click “My File” – “Enrollment” section):
once you have submitted your supporting documents (via the “PJ web” app or directly to the enrollment office, depending on your specific enrollment procedures) and once the enrollment office of your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute has approved them.

How do I activate my UM IT account (ENT)?
