Enrollment in France

This was the procedure in 2023. It's likely to change.

• Sign a student agreement and fill out a long form (during the first official meeting)

• Wait a few days

• Go to the office inside the physics building and ask for your Numéro de dossier

  • You will need to show an ID/passport/…

  • If you enter the building from here, it's almost immediately to the left

  • Even if the door is closed, just go in

• Go to https://ent.uca.fr/compte/password/firstStudentConnexion and follow the instructions

• In particular, set up an e-mail client or regularly check your online inbox

• Upload some documents here

  • You'll get an e-mail (from [e-mail]) to your UCA account asking you for these

  • What to upload:

    • Attestation d'assurance relative à la responsabilité civile […] → Dr. Walter

    • Attestation de droits à l'assurance maladie → Dr. Walter

    • Diplôme du bac → A-levels/…

      • bac ≠ Bachelor!

    • Diplômes obtenus depuis le bac → Bachelor's/…

    • Pièce d'identité en cours de validité (Carte d'identité RECTO VERSO ou passeport) → ID card; you can merge the front and back into a single PDF using online tools

      • Enter the expiration date as DD/MM/YYYY

• Upload a photo for your French student ID card

• Go get your student ID card

  • Office: Salle TC, B.1.24 (upstairs in the administration building, about here)

  • There does not seem to be a notification when the card is ready
