Registration / Re-registration

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 internal regulations of the University of Montpellier).

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.”

Visit thecvec.etudiant.gouv.frwebsite to learn about the steps you need to take.

1. Complete the necessary steps atcvec.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 the information 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 department.

TheCVECis 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 €105
• 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 atmesServices.etudiant.gouv.frto 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.

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?

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

Applications for financial aid, and in some cases for student housing, are processed by the CROUS in Montpellier after you submit aStudent Financial Aid Application. When you register, you will be asked to provide your financial aid award letter, which specifies your aid level; this document 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.
If you choose 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.
If you indicated that you are a scholarship recipient during your online registration or re-registration but have not yet received notification from the CROUS, you will be asked to pay the tuition fees.

How do I get a refund of my tuition fees if I am awarded a scholarship after enrolling?
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 anauthorization for third-party refund along with their bank account information.

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 enrollment summary, which you can download online from your digital account (ENT) (the “Registration Summary” tab).

Please note: These documents are issued only once the administrative registration process is complete (payment + verification of all supporting documents by your faculty).

For online registration, payment must be made by credit card (Visa or MasterCard).
For on-site registration, you may pay by Visa or MasterCard, or by check made payable to the University of Montpellier’s Accounting Officer.
For payment by bank transfer: please contact your faculty 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 your payment, please do not hesitate to contact the Registrar’s Office.

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 the credit card expires before the final scheduled debit.
Before making any payment 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 Faculty's registration office; 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 requested 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 nature of the 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 Registrar’s Office 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 Faculty’s Registrar’s Office for information on how to register.

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 Faculty’s registration office to complete your registration.

What is the difference between these three numbers?
The Academic Student ID (BEA)is a number assigned to every sixth-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.

Yourstudent 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 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 the issue to the Registrar's Office immediately.

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 school office of your change of address at any time. The address you provide when registering 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.
