General information

Administrative re-registration for doctoral studies at ENS de Lyon for the academic year 2026-27 opens on Monday, June 1, 2026, and run until November 15, 2026.  

Academic (doctoral school) and administrative (ENS de Lyon) registrations must be renewed at the beginning of each academic year, as soon as the School launches its re-registration process on June 1, 2026.

Please note: This procedure also applies to doctoral students due to defend their thesis between October 1 and December 31, and to doctoral students wishing to benefit from a temporary suspension of studies (césure). 

Reminder: since 2018, payment of the Contribution Vie Étudiante et de Campus (CVEC) has become compulsory, and is essential for registration. This payment (€105 for the academic year 2026/2027) applies to all students enrolled in Initial Education (except doctoral students re-registering to defend their thesis before December 31, 2026, doctoral students in joint PhD programs working abroad in 2026/2027 and certain Campus France doctoral students). Visit CVEC.
 

How to register

Administrative re-registration at ENS de Lyon

1. As soon as the doctoral school management has issued a favorable opinion in ADUM on your request to re-register for a PhD, you will be asked to log back into ADUM to enter your CVEC file number and submit the corresponding proof of payment (if applicable).
2. Once ENS de Lyon has given its opinion on your request to re-register for your PhD, you will be asked to log on to the CORIANDRE application to pay your Doctorate tuition fees (amounts set by ministerial decree: 391€ (260€ in the case of a gap year).
3. A tuition certificate will be available for download from CORIANDRE after payment.

For any request concerning a doctoral leave of absence (césure) or a university transfer, please contact the PhD Office (email: rentree.doctorants [at] ens-lyon.fr), which will provide you with the relevant procedures and the necessary application forms.
