HOW TO ENROLL AT TSE ?

  APPLICATION   

Make sure to submit your application via eCandidatures before the end of the application campaign. There are no application fees.

Once you confirmed your acceptance at TSE via the eCandidatures portal, you will receive an automated e-mail informing you that you must now register. Enrollment occurs towards the beginning of July. International students usually register in person at their arrival in September.

Most students enroll online (be aware that the online registration platform, IA Web, is available only in French). You must pay your enrollment fees at the moment of your enrollment.

Registrations for the 2024-2025 are now closed.

  ENROLLMENT ONLINE OR IN PERSON ?  

• ONLINE ENROLLMENT / IA WEB: 

Please be aware that the online enrollment portal is available only in French.

Here is the link to enter the registration platform.

• ENROLLMENT IN PERSON :

Those concerned will be notified by e-mail about the registration procedure in June-July by the Admissions Team.

You must register in person if you are in these situations:

• International newcomers
• TSE students not fluent in french (because the IA web is only in French)
• International students receiving a scholarship (Campus France, etc) 
• Exempted students (exempted from the 5,500 € tuition fees of the Master's programs, international track)

 

  PAY THE CVEC BEFORE YOUR ENROLLMENT  

All students must pay the student tax called CVEC (Contribution Vie Etudiante et de Campus) amounting to 103 € before enrolling at the university.

The CVEC must be paid to the CROUS. After the payment, you will get a payment certificate or a waiver certificate. This certificate is mandatory at the moment of your enrollment at the university (online or in person).

All students, including scholarship holders, can obtain a certificate relating to the payment or exemption of the CVEC via the portal messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr.

For more information :

• Crous website (only in French).
• You can contact directly the CROUS at this number +33140513735 (English-speaking contacts for international students).

The Admissions Team will forward you all the necessary information to pay the CVEC (translations in English) and proceed with your registration in person.
