What to do after gaining admission into a program via the Etudes en France portal?

You have been accepted into a school in France via your Etudes EEF portal. You are now required to accept the offer. After logging in to your Etudes en France account, please follow the steps below:

• Click on the third tab titled “The higher education institutions are reviewing your file” which would reveal your program cart.

• At the bottom of the section, if you have been accepted into at least one program, a congratulatory message awaits you. Underneath this message, click on the link “I already have an admission”. You will be directed to Finalize your application.

• In the tab beneath “Add”, Click on “An acceptance letter issued by the Etudes en France portal” and click on the “Add” button.

• A table containing the program(s) and institution(s) into which you have been accepted appears. Click on the option “Select this program” beside the program of your choice. A box titled “proof of admission” pops up.

• Scroll to the bottom of the section and click on “Choose this program”.

CAUTION! Once you select this you cannot change your program choice. Make sure this is your final choice. You have until the 31st of May to choose a school on the portal.

• Register your selection by clicking on “Save” at the bottom of the screen.

• As soon as you have the admission letter which has been generated by the EEF platform you must begin your visa application. Kindly follow the steps below to proceed.

NB:

• The proof of admission generated by the platform is the admission letter which will be used for the visa application. Some schools may choose to send another admission letter aside the EEF one though they are not obliged to.

• If the institution you have applied to via Etudes en France informs you directly that you are admitted into their program, but does not indicate the admission decision on the Etudes en France portal, please inform the institution to do so, in order to validate it and proceed with the next step.

After accepting the admission offer, please begin the visa application process as indicated below.
