Registration

Here you will find the sworn statement to include with your administrative registration application.

As a reminder, you can pick up or update your student ID card in Building 36, 2nd Floor, Administration.

The card grants access to the University’s campuses and facilities. It must be presented to university officials or their designated representatives whenever requested. Failure to present the card may result in disciplinary action. Lending, exchanging, forging, or attempting to forge the card is prohibited and subject to penalties, including disciplinary action.

When and where will I receive my student ID card?
When you complete your initial registration at the University of Montpellier, at the registration office or the academic records office. When you re-register, the card is updated with a sticker indicating the academic year.

What is the student ID number used for?
In addition to your name, it serves as a personal identifier, particularly in cases where there are people with the same name. The student ID number assigned by the University of Montpellier cannot be used at another university, unlike the INE number, which is recognized nationwide.

I lost my card, or it was stolen, or it’s damaged (creased, has holes, etc.). What should I do?
You can request a replacement (for a fee) on CMSWEB via your ENT.
You will then need to go to the Registration Office (Building 36, 2nd floor) to pick up your new card. However, if the card is defective (inactive, not working, etc.), it may be a manufacturing defect. In that case, it will be replaced free of charge.

Applications for financial aid and, if applicable, student housing are processed by the CROUS in Montpellier after the submission of a Student Financial Aid Application. Upon enrollment, presentation of a notification indicating the student’s financial aid tier exempts the student from paying tuition fees.

I haven’t received my CROUS notification yet, and I’m registering now. What should I do?
You will register at the full rate, and as soon as you receive your notification, you can request a refund of your tuition fees only. If you request payment in three installments, the refund can only be issued after all amounts due have been paid in full. If you indicated that you are a scholarship recipient during your online registration or re-registration, we will ask you to upload your scholarship notification to PJweb. If you are unable to do so, we will not be able to approve your application for enrollment in the Faculty of Sciences.

How can I get a tuition refund if I am awarded a scholarship after I enroll?

The Academic Student ID (BEA) is a number assigned to every sixth-grade student in France to identify them individually in secondary school. The National Student ID (INE) has been assigned to all students enrolled in their senior year of high school in France since 1995 or who are already enrolled in a French public institution of higher education.

Since 2018, the INE number has consisted of eleven characters, of which only the last two are letters.

INE numbers assigned prior to 2018 consist of eleven characters, combining numbers and 1 to 5 letters.

The INE number differs from the social security number—also known as the INSEE number—in terms of its format (15 digits) and its purpose.

The INE is usually listed on the French baccalaureate transcript. It also appears on academic transcripts issued by high schools and universities.

I don't have an INE. What should I do?
The university will assign you an INE when you first enroll. It will be valid at all French universities thereafter.

I forgot to enter my INE when I registered online, and I’ve been assigned a new one. What should I do?
You must report the error to the registration office by email at the following address: fds.inscriptions@umontpellier.fr

French students under the age of 25 must provide proof of their status with regard to national service obligations in order to be authorized to register for exams and competitive examinations administered by public authorities.

What should I do if I’ve lost my certificate of participation in the call-up day?
Only one copy of the certificate is issued. However, before your 25th birthday, you can request a status certificate (by mail or email) from the National Service Center responsible for you (the one in your census department) or the one closest to your place of residence, along with a copy of your national ID card.
