In order to complete their administrative enrolment in a higher education institution, full degree students (who are not part of an exchange programme) will be asked to provide proof that they have paid the Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC) or have been exonerated.

You are exempt from paying the CVEC contribution if either of the following cases apply to you: you are a refugee who is in receipt of subsidiary protection, an asylum seeker with the right to stay in France, or a means-tested Crous grant holder.

For non-EU nationals, you can apply for a student visa using your enrolment letter if you live abroad, or request a renewal of your residence permit with this letter if you live in France.

Once enrolled you will receive a confirmation printable email and your student number. Keep this number as it will allow you to activate your account on the ENT (virtual learning space) and access the university’s online services.

On your ENT account you will find a tab entitled “Pièces Justificatives” where you should upload the documents required to complete your enrolment. These documents are:

Enrolment in language classes (eg. French as a foreign language), sport and cultural activities should be completed through the relevant services: the Languages Department (DDL), Sports and Physical Education Department (UEFAPS) and the Student Life Service (SVE).
