Exemption Committee, 2nd Session – Students Enrolling Late Due to a Special Exemption Only

Submit reimbursement requests by March 13, 2026

Enrollment in a university is subject to the payment of annual tuition fees set by ministerial order. A procedure for exceptional exemption is provided for in Article R 719-50 of the Education Code.

Requests for tuition refunds will be reviewed by the Exemption and Refund Committee for its opinion, prior to a decision by
, President of the University of Montpellier, which will be sent directly to the applicant by mail.

Below are the various reasons that may qualify for a refund:
=> Without cancellation of administrative registration
– Academic performance (Successful completion without a scholarship)
– Health issues (medical inability to attend classes)
=> With cancellation of administrative registration
– Financial hardship
– Health issues (medical inability to attend classes)
– Change of academic direction outside the University of Montpellier and outside public higher education institutions
– Entry into the workforce or job search

The following are not covered by the committee:
=> Students taking a gap year
=> Financial difficulties without withdrawal from enrollment: these fall under the jurisdiction of the CROUS social services department, as specifically noted on the exceptional refund request form.

In the event of cancellation of registration, a flat-rate administrative fee of 23 euros, set by ministerial order, will be deducted from the refund.

Please note: The Mitra Center only processes exemption requests for courses offered by the FDS. If you are enrolled in other courses within the UM (IAE, Polytech, etc.), you must submit a separate request for each course to the relevant departments.
