Applications for financial aid, and possibly for student housing, are processed by the CROUS in Montpellier after you submita Student Financial Aid Application.

If you opt to pay 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 registration.

The Academic Student ID (BEA)is a number assigned to every seventh-grade student in France to identify them individually in secondary education. The National Student ID (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.

Can’t find your INE (National Student ID) number?
The INE number is required for your administrative registration.
If you took the French baccalaureate or were enrolled in French higher education: you can find it 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 will find your INE number on your student ID card, certificate of enrollment, or on your 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 issueto the registration officeimmediately.

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.

Professional liability insurance does not constitute the documentation required for administrative registration. Similarly, a membership application or proof of payment does not constitute proof of insurance: neither of these documents is acceptable.

All students must purchase liability insurance as part of their studies (seeArticle 35 of the University of Montpellier’s internal regulations).

Where can I obtain the civil liability certificate?
From your insurer.
Be careful not to over-insure yourself: before taking out a policy, check first to see if your comprehensive home insurance or renters’ insurance already covers your personal life or school/extracurricular activities.

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.

What should I do if I’ve lost my certificate of attendance for the draft registration day?
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 you (the one in your census department) or the one nearest your place of residence (by mail or email), along with a copy of your national ID card.

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 anyone?
Yes, you should notifyyour registrar’s office as soon as possible. Your address is particularly important because it will be used to contact you by mail, if necessary.

Can I register on someone else’s behalf?
Current regulations do not allow registration by a third party. If you are unable to register in person for a valid reason, please contactthe registration office.

Can I register by mail?
Only if this option is available for the program you are enrolling in. Please check withthe relevant Faculty (UFR)/School/Institute.

I am waiting to sign a professional training contract or an apprenticeship contract. Can I still register?
Please refer to the instructionsfrom the registration office.

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

I have dual citizenship, including French citizenship. Under which citizenship should I register?
You must register under French citizenship.

I have been on a break from my studies for over two years. What should I do?
You must submit a request for authorization to resume your studies tothe University’s Continuing Education Office todetermine 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 continuing my studies?
You must contact the admissions 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 September 1. However, refund requests for cancellations submitted on or after September 2 must be reviewed by a committee. The request may be denied if you do not provide sufficient supporting documentation.

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 for late registration, which may be denied if sufficient supporting documentation is not provided.

The card grants access to the University’s buildings 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.

What is the student ID number used for?
In addition to your name, it 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 have lost my card, or it has been stolen, or it is damaged (bent, has holes, etc.). What should I do?
You can request a replacement (for a fee) on CMSWEB viayourENT. 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.

The Scol’Pass is an A4-sized document that includes three enrollment certificates and a receipt for tuition fees.
