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 required by your department/school/institute.

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

This type of insurance covers the legal obligation of every individual to compensate others for damages caused by fault, carelessness, negligence, or by objects owned, rented, or borrowed.

Important: What documents do I need to provide? Or where can I get them?

  • You can obtain this document from your insurance provider, your health insurance provider, or when opening a bank account in France
  • Be careful not to over-insure yourself: before taking out a policy, check first to see if your comprehensive home insurance or renters’ insurance (or your parents’ policies) already covers your personal 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 documents is acceptable.
  • The certificate must include the words “civil liability.”
Student Life and Campus Services (CVEC)

Before enrolling at the university, you must log in to the website cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr 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 (make sure to spell your first and last names correctly. The last name you entered in the university’s registration application and the name on your CVEC certificate must be identical and match what is listed on your identification documents.)
  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.
  3. Please register or re-register according to the procedures established by your faculty, school, or institute

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

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 registration with the authorities.

Please note: Students who do not receive financial aid 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 only due at the time of your first enrollment.

Supporting documents

I need to provide an official form of identification. What documents are accepted? Accepted documents : both sides of a national ID card (CNI), passport, or valid residence permit.
If you do not have any of these documents, a driver’s license in a 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 through 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 certificate of civil liability insurance?
You can obtain it from your insurance company, your mutual insurance company, 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 taking out a policy, check first to see if your comprehensive home insurance or renters’ insurance (or your parents’ policies) already covers your personal 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 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 account on Cyclades (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 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 digital account (ENT). Click on the "Registration Summary" icon.

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

The photo will appear on the student ID card; it must have a plain background with 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 (via 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), or print it out, fill it in, 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 regarding national service obligations in order to be eligible 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 a status certificate from the National Service Center responsible for your area (the one in your census department) or the one nearest your place of residence (by mail or email), provided you include a copy of your national ID card with your request.

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

Before enrolling at the university, you must log in to the website cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr 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 during the academic year of enrollment, i.e., 2024–2025.

Step 1: Complete the necessary steps at cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr. Be sure to have your INE number handy 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 in accordance with the procedures established by your faculty (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 registration with the authorities.

Please note: Students who do not receive financial aid 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 only due at the time of your first enrollment.

The CVEC is a fee “intended to support the social, health, cultural, and athletic support services provided to students and to strengthen preventive health and health education initiatives designed for them.”
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 documents do I need to provide?
You must provide a consent form signed by your legal guardians. Once completed, it will be kept on file by the Admissions Office.

CROUS Grants / Refunds

Applications for financial aid, and in some cases for 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 your 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 once you receive your notification, you can request a refund of your registration fees.
Please note: if you request 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 declared yourself eligible for a scholarship during your online enrollment or re-enrollment but have not yet received the notification from the CROUS, you will be asked to pay the full tuition fee.

How do I get a refund of my tuition fees if I am awarded a scholarship after I have enrolled?
Refunds are 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 financial aid tier, and your bank account information (RIB), preferably in your name. If the refund is to be made to a third party’s bank account, you must include a third-party refund authorization form along with their bank account information.

Payment of registration fees

Tuition fees are set by ministerial decree. They cover the cost of 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 portal (the "My File" tab)
  • on the Scol’Pass fee receipt, which can be obtained upon request from your school office
  • or on your registration summary, which you can download online from your digital learning platform (ENT) (under the "Registration Summary" tab).

Please note: These documents are issued only after your administrative registration has been completed (payment + approval of all supporting documents by your department/school/institute).

What payment methods are available?
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 registration for instructions.
Registration will only be processed upon receipt of payment. Cash payments are not accepted by the registration office.

Can I delay the processing of my check payment?
No. Registration payments are processed daily in accordance with current regulations. If you anticipate having 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 the 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, the other two installments will be set up for automatic debit authorization. This payment method is not available if your credit card expires before the final scheduled debit.
Before making any payments in three installments, please ensure your credit card is valid for all three installments.

I can't pay online. What should I do?
Contact the registration office of your Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute; they can 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 grant (CROUS), but the amount claimed 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 grant? ” Select: “Higher Education Grant” and for the question: “What is the nature of your financial aid?” Select: “Income-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?
Please contact your registration office as soon as possible. Until your account is in good standing, you will not be able to obtain 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 form. 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 that payment is required for online registration. If your payment is declined, please contact the registration office of the Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute to complete your registration.

BEA / INE / Student ID 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 education. 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 higher education institution.

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 (15 digits) and its purpose.

The INE is generally listed 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 a 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 number (National Student ID). The INE number is required for your administrative registration.

  • If you took the French baccalaureate or were enrolled in a French higher education program: you can find this information on your baccalaureate transcript or your higher education transcript.
  • If you are an international student and have previously 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 number 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 when school starts. What should I provide when I register?
We recommend providing a permanent home 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 then notify the registration office of your change of address 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 notify the university?
Yes, you should notify the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible. Your address is particularly important because it will be used to contact you by mail, if necessary.

I have been on a leave of absence from my studies for over two years. What should I do?
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 continuing education, which may be eligible for funding.

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 by 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 sufficient supporting documentation is not provided.

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 currently 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, as the transfer process follows specific procedures. The transfer is subject to the approval of both university administrators.

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 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 affairs 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’s been stolen, or it’s damaged (bent, torn, 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) via the “CMSWEB” app from your digital campus portal (click the “Student ID Card” tab). 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 three enrollment certificates and a receipt for tuition and 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 proof of enrollment. If you are officially enrolled, you can access it through your online account (ENT) (under the “My File” tab – “Enrollment” section).

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

Computer account / Digital Workspace
