Faculty of Science

Suitable device

You have been conditionally admitted to the first year at the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier (“Yes, if”).

This response to your application is not a disciplinary action. This page explains why you received this response and how the School of Science will take steps to provide you with the resources you need to succeed this year.

The admissions committee that reviewed your ParcourSup application determined that your profile indicated potential areas of concern. These areas of concern may include the subjects you chose in your junior and senior years**, low grades in science during your junior and senior years, a break in your studies, a *non-traditional* educational background, etc.

In certain tracks (Mathematics and its Applications, Computer Science), TU will be offered to you starting in the first semester. In the other tracks, you are free to choose your courses: no options are closed to you because of your “yes, if” status; you will be in classes that mix “yes” and “yes, if” students, and you will take the same exams and quizzes.

This classification is not a punishment, much less a stigma. On the contrary, being classified as “yes, if” gives you special access to certain support services, including mentoring by master’s or junior-year students and one-on-one meetings during the first semester with faculty advisors from your academic track.

Semester 1

Early, targeted support for “yes, if” children:

  • Individual meetings withthe director of studies and the lead teachers on the teaching team,
  • Student mentoring foracademic or subject-specific assistance,
  • In some portals,remediation TU .

Choosing a major in the second semester

Toward the end of the first semester, it will be time to take stock and start thinking about what to do next in this first year.

  • If you don't have any particular difficulties, you can continue on to a standard bachelor's degree program,
  • If you are facing difficulties but completing your first year in two years is a realistic possibility, some programs offer a streamlined second semester, in which standard TU are replaced byremedial course TU . This option means you will not be able to complete your first year in one year, but it allows you to build your skills so you can succeed at a more manageable pace. You will, of course, retain the TU during your first year.

The three portals offering this option are Maths and its Applications, PCSI, and SVSE (see the second-semester syllabus for each portal by clicking on the links below).

  • If you feel that your initial choice of track was not the right one, in some cases you can arrangeto switch tracks forthe following year by following the internal TU as part of a lighter second-semester course load. At the end of your first year of the Bachelor’s program, you will repeat your first year in your chosen track to complete your Bachelor’s degree in two years.
  • If you are facing significant challenges that lead you to believe the School of Science is not the right program for you,these reorientation courseswill help you make the most of your second semester and prepare your ParcourSup application under the best possible conditions. These courses are held during the first 7 weeks of the second semester so that the grades can be included in your application.

The academic staff will be there to help you choose the best path for you.
