From 1 September to 13 November 2023

For PhD students enrolling in a CIFRE thesis or with a cotutelle agreement, you can enroll after November 13.

How to enroll ?

Enrollment in doctoral studies takes place in several steps (complete procedure below) :

1. Payment of the « Student Life and Campus Contribution » (« Contribution Vie Etudiante et de Campus – CVEC ») : paid to the CROUS, this contribution of 100 euros is aimed at « favouring student reception and support in social life, health, culture and sports for the students and at reinforcing the prevention and health education ». To pay the contribution, you must go to https://www.messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr/, “Student Life and Campus Contribution” entry. BE CAREFUL : PhD students having a cotutelle agreement and who paid their registration in the partner university must not pay CVEC or registration fees.

2. Course registration to UBFC, on the ADUM website (www.adum.fr). You have to create your profile on the ADUM website, fill all required fields and submit all the required documents in only one PDF file :

• Proof of CVEC payment (except for PhD students having a cotutelle agreement and who have paid their enrollment in the partner university)
• If you have a cotutelle agreement and if you paid the enrollment fees in the partner university : copy of the school certificate
• CV
• Proof of financing (copy of your employment contract if you have it/scholarship certificate, etc.) – Except for PhD students having a doctoral contract (You application was validated in June, so you don’t have your contract yet)
• ONLY if you are in a CIFRE PhD thesis : ANRT acceptance letter

3. IMPORTANT : Be careful when you fill the fields regarding your diploma allowing you to enroll in a PhD thesis : if you obtained your diploma in a country out of the Bologna process (list of the countries part of the process in the procedure below), you must check “Foreign diploma” in the drop-down menu and clearly indicate the country of graduation.

4. Payment of the registration fees to the institution where the thesis will be prepared (Amount : 380€). When your registration request is validated on ADUM by the head of the doctoral school, you will receive an e-mail from ADUM, inviting you to pay the registration fees. Several possibilities will be proposed to you, regarding your situation :

You must wait to receive the e-mail from the doctoral school with the link allowing you to pay online.
