The Path to a Degree at the School of Science

The path to a degree: Earning a degree is no walk in the park!

You've just finished your studies and can't wait to finally hold your diploma in your hands—the true culmination of your efforts throughout your college career.

We'll explain why you have to wait a few months after finishing your studies to receive your diploma.

Once the examination reports from the degree examination committees for Session 2 have been approved—usually between July and mid-October—your future degree is reviewed and, if necessary, corrected by the Degree Office (regulatory checks, civil status, etc.) before it is issued.

Your diploma is then entered into a tracking database to ensure full traceability before being forwarded for verification and signatures:

– To the Office of the President of the University of Montpellier
– To partner institutions for jointly accredited programs (Montpellier SupAgro, AgroParisTech, Paul-Valéry University, etc.)
– To the Montpellier Regional Education Office

If an anomaly is detected during these various verification phases, the diploma must be flagged as having an anomaly and reissued so that it can undergo all the verification phases again.

The entire verification process prior to signatures by the President of the University of Montpellier, the heads of any partner institutions, and the Regional Superintendent of Education takes approximately 4 to 6 months. This may seem a bit long, but it ensures that you will receive a high-quality degree.

So thank you for your patience!
