What you need to know about registration

School/university/extracurricular insurance or civil liability insurance: an important supporting document
When registering, you must provide all the documents requested by your department/school/institute.
You will be asked to provide proof of valid school/university/extracurricular insurance or civil liability insurance. All students must be covered by civil liability insurance as part of their studies (see the internal regulations of the University of Montpellier).
This is insurance that corresponds to the obligation of each individual to repair damage caused to others through fault, carelessness, negligence, or through objects owned, rented, or borrowed.
Important: What documents do I need to provide? Where can I obtain them?
- You can obtain this document from your insurer, your mutual insurance company, or when opening a bank account in France.
- Be careful not to over-insure yourself: before taking out any policy, check that your comprehensive home insurance or rental insurance (or your parents' insurance) does not already cover your private life or school/extracurricular activities.
- The certificate must be valid on the date of registration and include your first and last name.
- Professional civil liability does not correspond to the request made for administrative registration.
- Similarly, a membership form or payment slip does not constitute proof of insurance: these two documents are not acceptable.
- The certificate must bear the words "civil liability."
Student Life and Campus Contribution (CVEC)
Before enrolling at the university, you must log in to the website cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr to find out what steps you need to take.
- Complete the necessary steps via cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr. Remember to have your INE number ready beforehand (be careful to spell your first and last names correctly. Your last name entered in the university registration application and the name entered on your CVEC certificate must be identical and match what is indicated on your identity documents).
- Keep your certificate, as you will be asked for it when you register, whether you are exempt from the contribution or not: the certificate is mandatory.
- Register or re-register according to the procedures established by your faculty, school, or institute.
The CVEC is a contribution "intended to promote the social, health, cultural, and athletic support and integration of students and to reinforce 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 €105.
- you will be exempt
In both cases, you will be issued with a certificate: without it, you cannot complete your administrative registration.
Please note: Students who do not receive financial aid are invited to log on to mesServices.etudiant.gouv.fr now to create an account and simplify the process.
If you enroll in several courses in the same academic year, this contribution is only payable upon initial enrollment.

BEA/INE/student number
What is the difference between these three numbers? The Base-Elèves Académique, or BEA, is a number assigned to every sixth-grade student in France, allowing for individual identification in secondary education. What is the difference between these three numbers? The Base-Elèves Académique, or BEA, is a number assigned to every sixth-grade student in France, allowing for individual identification in secondary education. The National Student Identifier, or INE, is assigned to all students enrolled in the final year of high school in France since 1995 or already enrolled in a French public higher education institution.
Since 2018, the INE number has consisted of eleven characters, only the last two of which 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 terms of format (fifteen digits) and use.
The INE number is usually included on high school transcripts (final exams or early exams). It is also included on school certificates issued by high schools and universities.
Your student number (in addition to your name) serves as your personal identifier, particularly in cases where there are people with the same name. The student number assigned by the University of Montpellier cannot be used at other universities, unlike the INE number, which is recognized nationally.
I can't find my INE (National Student ID) number. The INE number is required for your administrative registration.
- If you have applied for a French baccalaureate or have been 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 card, certificate of enrollment, or on your transcripts.
I don't have an INE number. What should I do?
The university will assign you an INE number when you first enroll. It will then be valid at all French universities.
I forgot to enter my INE when registering online and I have been assigned a new one. What should I do?
You must report the error to the registration department immediately.
Mailing address
I don't know my address for the start of the school year. What should I enter when I register?
We recommend that you provide a permanent family address that will be valid in the fall. In this case, don't forget to specify "Chez M/Mme..." (c/o Mr/Mrs...) if your name does not appear on the mailbox. You can then notify the registration department of your change of address at any time. The address you provide when you register is particularly important because it 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 will be used to contact you by mail, if necessary.
