Université catholique de Lyon

Admission
Students must be at least 18 years old and be in possession of a diploma indicating completion of secondary school in his country except for the monthly and summer intensive programs.

Pre-enrolment - Student Visa
Pre-enrolment is obligatory in most countries in order to receive a student visa. You can send your pre-enrolment by internet. To confirm the pre-enrolment, please send the application by post with:
- A birth certificate translated in French (except intensive month and summer)
- A certified copy of the diploma indicating completion of secondary studies
- Two pictures
- Three stamps at 1€ delivered by post offices in France
- A deposit of 366 € for semester courses, 610 € for the academic year or term courses, 191 € for the intensive month courses and the summer sessions, (this down payment will be deducted from the total amount of enrolment fees. It will not be reimbursed in case of withdrawal).

As soon as a complete dossier is received, the ILCF will send you documentation attesting to your pre-enrolment. This will be needed in order for you to obtain your student visa.
Any student staying more than 3 months in France or wishing to benefit from student status must take the first administrative steps by addressing the French Embassy or French Consulate in his own country.

Beware ! The student visa can never be obtained in France. Sometimes it takes several months to obtain a visa.

If the visa is denied by the country of origin and if you provide us with the original of the official document attesting the refusal, the deposit will be reimbursed, less € 130 to cover administrative costs. This only takes place if the secretary is informed by a written document a maximum of 8 days following the level test. After this date, the corresponding sum for the payment of the courses would remaind the direct property of the ILCF.

Enrolment
In order to confirm enrolment, students must contact the department during the week which precedes placement tests. Students can also enroll in person if they satisfy administrative regulations and if places are still available.
The payment for the inscription should be made at the latest 15 days after the placement tests.

Resident Card/OFII

Medical Insurance
Since October 1st 1999, all foreign students under the age of 28 (with the exception of residents of the European Union) must subscribe to a medical insurance policy in France (the arrêté of 29th June in the Journal Officiel of 10th July 1999). The cost of this insurance is 207 € for 2012/2013.

Students from the European Union must provide the E-128 form (delivered in their own country). Therefore, students under 18 years old don't have to register for an insurance in their country of origin for their stay in France. For students over 28 years old, nothing changes.
