First registration

Follow all steps

IMPORTANT: read carefully and follow all steps before going through your registration and then click on the link « proceed to registration on Coriandre ».

Clarify your status

Once you have received the confirmation by e-mail of your admission, you can then continue to your first registration. However, it is necessary to clarify your status before registering.

  • Erasmus programme or international exchange students: European and international students accepted under the Erasmus programme or as international exchange students;
  • Foreign Normaliens: foreign Normalien students admitted to the degree course at ENS Paris-Saclay via competitive exam.

It is possible to register at ENS Paris-Saclay once your status has been clarified along with education and level of attainment with the selected teaching department or laboratory.


Step 1. Request your visa for France

  • For students from the "Études en France" (Studying in France) process: once you have been awarded admission to ENS Paris-Saclay or Université Paris-Saclay, create your account on the Études en France website by completing your online file under the tab "I have been accepted".
     
  • For other applicants: go straight to the official visa website for France to find out what supporting documents are required, then make an appointment to submit your request at the nearest French Embassy or Consulate.

Step 2. Obtaining your CVEC certificate

Before beginning the administrative registration process, all students must obtain their certificate of confirmation of payment of or exemption from the Contribution to Student and Campus Life (CVEC). This Contribution funds preventative medicine and appointments with the psychologist, setting up a social assistance fund and student community projects.

International students without National Student ID number (INE) must tick "I do not have an INE" and provide either a registration document for French higher education for the current year if they are already in France, or a supporting document for the coming year or a French internship certificate.
The offer of temporary lodging in university accommodation sent to you by CROUS is accepted as supporting documentation.

The following are exempted from CVEC: people receiving grants from the French government on a social basis, international exchange students and Erasmus students, students of further education, students with refugee status, students eligible for subsidiary protection, and students registered as asylum seekers with the right to remain in the country.
If you become eligible for exemption from the contribution during the university year, you can obtain a refund from CROUS of the contribution you have already paid.


Step 3. Collect all the documents to be attached

General mandatory documents

  • Proof of identity (visa or residence permit)
  • Passport
  • Last three statements of academic results
  • All degrees and certificates attained: originals and if in languages other than French or English, certified translation of the last foreign degree or certificate
  • Contribution to Student and Campus Life (CVEC) certificate
  • Personal civil liability certificate for the current year

Appendix documents

  • Proof of exemption from registration fees for students from outside the EU who benefit from an exemption by the French government or an embassy
