Digital services and resources

Your student multi-service card is sent to you or given to you when you first register at Inalco. Once you have this card, keep it from one year to the next! It's valid for 3 years - don't throw it away at the end of the year.

Please remember to reset your card at the beginning of the academic year on the terminals provided for this purpose on the second floor of Inalco

Your multi-service card is first and foremost a student card

It attests to your enrolment at Inalco. You'll need it to sit your exams, access multimedia rooms, language laboratories and BULAC. It also enables you to benefit from the various discounts associated with your student status: at municipal swimming pools and theaters, Imagin'R rate, free admission to certain museums, etc.

How does the Izly online account work?

The IZLY payment service enables you to manage, top up and consult the history of your online account from anywhere, at any time. Reloading is carried out directly from your bank account on your computer or via your smartphone. You can also ask third parties (parents, etc.) to top up your account in a single click by credit card.

Izly is not managed by Inalco but by Crous.
The e-mail address used when you registered for administrative purposes at Inalco is communicated to Izly to enable an activation e-mail to be sent. It is possible to receive the Izly activation email again by clicking here.
If this doesn't work, check the email address you gave to the schooling department as well as your SPAM.
