4. Administrative registration

This is the last step of your registration.

After you have received the positive answer of the pedagogical commission, please validate the decision by registering at the University of Tours. The positive answer is only valid for the year that you have applied to.

The registration file must be given directly at the University of Tours when you arrive, except if stated otherwise on your acceptation letter.

Here are the steps you will have to follow when you arrive in Tours:

1. Connect to https://cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr/?_locale=en to pay the CVEC (Contribution Vie Etudiante et de Campus) fee with the CROUS: 105 euros.
   Higher education scholarship holders must log in but will be exempt from the €105. Continuing education trainees are not affected by the CVEC, they do not have to log in to cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr, nor pay the €105. In all cases, you will have to download your certificate of payment or payment by exemption (for scholarship holders) in order to put it in your registration file. The certificate is therefore MANDATORY before administrative registration at the university. Without this document, you will not be authorized to register.
    
2. ​​​Take an appointment with the department you have been accepted in. There are deadlines depending on the courses you take. The date will be on your letter of acceptance. Please contact your department.
   ​​​​​​​
3. Fill up the 2026/2027 registration file :   Download the 2026/2027 registration file here
    
4. On the day of your appointment, please come with your registration file and all the documents needed, including the CVEC certificate and a copy of your letter of admission.  
    
5. You will then be an official student in the University of Tours!
