Registration / Re-registration

You will be asked to provide proof of school/university/extra-curricular insurance or valid third-party liability insurance. All students must be covered by civil liability insurance for their studies (cf. internal regulations of the University of Montpellier).

It's an insurance policy that obliges you to repair damage caused to others through fault, carelessness or negligence, or by items you own, rent or borrow.

Important: which document do I need? Where can I get it?

• You can obtain this document from your insurer, your mutual insurance company or when you open a bank account in France.
• Make sure you're not over-insured: before taking out any insurance, check that your comprehensive home or rental insurance (or those of your parents) do not already cover your private life or school/extra-curricular activities.
• The certificate must be valid on the date of registration and include your full name.
• A professional liability policy does not correspond to the request made for an administrative registration.
• Similarly, a membership form or a payment slip do not constitute proof of insurance: these 2 documents are not acceptable.
• The certificate must bear the words "civil liability".

What's the difference between these 3 numbers?
The Base-Elèves Académique, or BEA, is a number assigned to each Sixième student in France, enabling individual identification in secondary education. The Identifiant National Etudiant, or INE, is assigned to every student enrolled in the final year of secondary school in France since 1995, or already enrolled in a French public higher education establishment.

Since 2018, the INE number has consisted of eleven characters, of which only the last 2 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 format (15 digits) and usage.

The INE is generally shown on the baccalauréat transcript (final or early tests). It also appears on school certificates issued by high schools and universities.

The student number (in addition to your name) serves as a personal identifier, particularly in cases of homonymy. The student number assigned by the University of Montpellier cannot be used at any other university, unlike the n°INE, which is recognized nationally.

I can't find my INE (Identifiant National Etudiant) number?
The INE number is mandatory for your administrative registration.

• If you were a candidate for a French baccalauréat or enrolled in French higher education: you can find it on your baccalauréat transcript or your higher education transcript.
• If you are a foreign student who has already studied in French higher education, you will find your INE number on your student card, school certificate or transcript.

I don't have an INE, what should I do?
The university will give you an INE when you register for the first time. It will then be valid at all French universities.

I forgot to enter my INE when I registered online and I've been given a new one. What should I do?

You must report the anomaly to the Education Department immediately.

I don't know my address at the start of the school year? What do I need to know when I register?
We recommend that you give a fixed family address for the fall. Don't forget to specify "Chez M/Mme..." if your name is not on the letterbox. You can then notify the Enrolment Department of your change of address at any time. This address is particularly important, as it will be used to contact you by post if necessary.

I'm going to change my address during the academic year. Do I need to report this?
Yes, you need to report this as soon as possible to your Registrar. Your address is particularly important, as it will be used to contact you by post if necessary.
