I am an international student admitted to a course (other than an exchange) in 2024/2025: how do I enrol at university?

Here are the steps to follow:
  • Step 1: You must pay the Contribution Vie Étudiante et de Campus (CVEC) to CROUS and download your certificate using the QR code. Please refer to this tutorial (only in French) for all the steps to follow.
     
  • Step 2: You must first register administratively:
    - you have been admitted via Parcoursup or E-Candidat: you must register online. If you wish to request an exemption for late arrival, you must contact your UFR.

    - you have been admitted via the DAP: you must register on site by making an appointment. Please note that you should not make an appointment until you have obtained your visa (if this applies to you) and know when you will be arriving in France.

    - you have been admitted via Etudes en France: if you obtained your visa before 15 September 2024, you can register online. You will have received instructions by e-mail at the end of July, or you will receive them at the beginning of September with instructions to follow, if you are concerned. If you do not obtain your visa by 15 September 2024, you will have to register locally by making an appointment. Please note that you should not make an appointment until you have obtained your visa (if you are concerned) and know your date of arrival in France.

    Students who have not been able to register by 20 September 2024 may apply for a derogatory registration authorisation from: etudiant.etranger@liste.parisnanterre.fr. The deadline for arrival is 30 September, after which no exemption will be granted.
  • Step 3: You will receive an e-mail message in the personal e-mail address you provided when you completed your administrative registration. If you have not received a message or if the activation date has passed, go to this link: https://identite.parisnanterre.fr/
Once you have completed your administrative registration, you will need to register for your course (pedagogical inscription, which will determine your timetable). You should go to the website of the faculty to which you are attached to find out about the enrolment procedure and complete it within the deadlines indicated: etudiants.parisnanterre.fr/inscriptions-pedagogiques

I am an international student who has been accepted by the University Paris Nanterre via Études en France but I have chosen another institution. Can I change my choice and study at Nanterre?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to receive you if you have accepted another choice, as your place has been allocated to another student.

I have done my administrative registration online. How do I get my school certificate and student card?

Your certificate of enrolment is available online, on your Espace Numérique de Travail (ENT). Your student card will be given to you on Welcome Day on Monday 9 September, 9:00 to 9:30 in the hall of Bât. Rémond building.

The registration office has refused to allow me to register in person, and has told me to register online.

You must go to the Individual Mobility Office in the Rémond building, office 210A or 210B.

When I am registering online, I don't know what to tick for exemption from differentiated rights.

You must tick the box: "Je ne suis concerné par aucun des cas ci-dessus" ("None of the above applies to me"):
