Registering at university: the Parcoursup procedure
Until March 13 - Online
Parcoursup is the national platform for pre-registration in the first year of higher education in France.
Who is concerned ?
Do you want to enroll in the first year of training in higher education? Parcoursup is for you if:
- you are a high school student preparing for your baccalaureate
- student already holding a baccalaureate wishing to change direction in the first year
- holder of the Diploma of Access to University Studies (DAEU), the equivalent of the baccalaureate
High school student? If you are a high school senior preparing for the baccalaureate in France, to create your Parcoursup 2025 file, you must first create your Parcoursup account using the email address that you sent to your high school (if in doubt about this email address, contact your school's education department).
- Step 1: create a Parcoursup account (if you haven't already done so)
Please note: for any high school student who has already created an account on Parcoursup, the account still exists and they will be able to log in directly to create their candidate file for the 2025 session.
- Step 2: Create your candidate file by entering your email address and your INE (national student identifier)
The INE code is made up of 11 characters: 10 numbers + 1 letter or 9 numbers + 2 letters. You will find it on your school reports or on your transcript of marks for the early baccalaureate exams.
If you have any doubts or difficulties at this stage, contact the secretariat of your establishment and write a message via the contact section of the parcoursup.gouv.fr website.
In reorientation?
/
In reorientation? If you were a candidate on Parcoursup last year, the identifiers for your Parcoursup account remain the same. Please note that the identifiers for your 2024 file are no longer valid. You will need to create a Parcoursup 2025 candidate file.
To automatically retrieve certain items from your file, you must create your 2025 file using the same email address as the one used in 2024.
From Wednesday January 15 to Thursday March 13: I register and I express my wishes : I am registering on Parcoursup to create my candidate file. I can formulate up to 10 wishes without obligation to classify them in order of preference. For certain training courses you can also make sub-wishes.
Wednesday April 02: last day to complete my file and confirm my wishes
Last day to finalize my file with the elements requested by the training courses and to confirm each of my wishes. Tip: Don't wait until the last minute to complete your file. Gradually prepare the elements needed to confirm your wishes.
Reminder: a total or partial withdrawal For apprenticeship training, you can still make requests after April 2, 2025.
Monday June 02: start of the admission phase, I receive the responses from the training courses and I choose
I consult in my Parcoursup file training responses that I asked for. I receive admission offers (yes or yes-if* response) gradually and continuously. I must respond to each admission proposal within the deadline indicated in my file.
Do not hesitate to contact your main teacher if you need advice in making your choices.
