Once your registration is validated, you will be able to obtain your school certificate.

Clarify your status

Following the confirmation of your admission by email, you can now proceed to your first registration. However, it is necessary to know your status before registering.

• Status : students, Erasmus agreement or international exchange : European and international students admitted by Erasmus agreement or international exchange;
• Status : Normalien à titre étranger : normaliens à titre étranger admitted by competitive examination to the ENS Paris-Saclay diploma.

Registration at ENS Paris-Saclay is possible after having clarified one's status, training and level with the chosen teaching department or laboratory.

The registration procedure at ENS Paris-Saclay is as follows:

Step 1. Apply for a visa to France

• For the candidates of the "Etudes en France" procedure: after having obtained the admission agreement of the ENS Paris-Saclay or the University Paris-Saclay, create your account on the website Etudes en France by completing your file online, tab "I am accepted".
   
• For other applicants: go directly to the official website of visas for France to discover the list of required documents, then make an appointment directly in the nearest French Embassy or Consulate to make your request.

Step 2. Paying the CVEC

Each student must obtain, prior to administrative registration, a certificate of payment of the Student Life and Campus Contribution (CVEC), by payment or exemption. The CVEC is used, for example, to finance preventive medicine and psychologist's visits, to establish a social assistance fund or to support student association projects.

• Obtain your Student Life and Campus Contribution (CVEC).

International students who do not have an INE must check "I do not have an INE" and provide either proof of enrollment in French higher education for the current year, if already present in France, or proof of enrollment for the coming year or a certificate of internship in France.
The proposal for temporary accommodation in a university residence sent to you by the Crous by e-mail is accepted as proof.

The following are exempt from the CVEC: students with social and French government scholarships, international exchange and Erasmus students, students in continuing education, refugee students, students who are beneficiaries of subsidiary protection and students who are registered as asylum seekers and who have the right to stay in France.
If you become eligible for exemption from the contribution during the academic year, you can obtain a refund from the CROUS.
