At the start of the academic year: request for cancellation and reimbursement of registration fees (deadline October 30, 2025)

The decree of April 19, 2019 provides for the reimbursement by right of students renouncing their national diploma registration before the start of the academic year, except for the sum of 23 euros remaining acquired by the establishment for the administrative acts required for registration.

Please read the Inalco President's Order 2025 -2026 on registration periods, terms and conditions, cancellations, reimbursements and exemptions at the top of the page.

Inalco extends this right of cancellation and reimbursement for students renouncing their registration for an institutional diploma or non-degree course, and extends it to October 30, 2025 (to November 30, 2025 for doctoral students).

Any decision to cancel registration at Inalco entails, when the full fee has been paid by the user, the reimbursement of the full registration fee, subject to a sum of 23 euros remaining acquired by the establishment for management acts required for registration, in accordance with the rate set by ministerial decree.

Cancellation and reimbursement are effective only when the student has returned his or her student card.

The request for reimbursement of the CVEC paid is to be made directly by students to the CROUS.

Procedure on simple request:

• For requests for cancellation and refund of Licence, Master, Diplômes d'établissement and Passport registration fees, forward the request by email to jessica.maignan@inalco.fr
• For requests for cancellation and refund of Doctorate registration fees, forward the request by email to View e-mail

During the academic year: request for cancellation and reimbursement of registration fees (deadline December 05, 2025)

After October 30, 2025 (or November 30, 2025 for PhD students), cancellation and reimbursement of registration fees may be granted by the President, exceptionally and on reasoned request received by December 05, 2025 at the latest. No requests for cancellation or reimbursement after this date will be considered (except in the case of death).

Requests will be subject to the prior opinion of the commission responsible for examining requests for exemption, cancellation and reimbursement, which will examine the reasons (in particular changes in personal or professional circumstances, enrolment in several courses). Cancellation of administrative registration during the academic year does not systematically entail reimbursement of fees. The commission decides whether or not to reimburse the fees (in full or in part), depending in particular on the courses taken and attendance at 1st semester exams.

In the event of a decision to reimburse all or part of the registration fees, the sum of 23 euros is retained by the establishment for administrative acts required for registration, in accordance with the rate set by ministerial decree.

Cancellation and reimbursement are effective only when the student has returned his or her student card.

The request for reimbursement of the CVEC paid is to be made directly by students to the CROUS.

Find out about the consequences of cancelling university registration in the decree on registration periods, terms and conditions, cancellation, reimbursement and exemptions at the top of the page.

File-based procedure:

• To receive the file requesting cancellation and refund of registration fees for Licence, Master, Diplômes d'établissement and Passport, write the request by email to jessica.maignan@inalco.fr

After 05/12/2025, requests for cancellation of administrative registration with or without reimbursement of the academic year will not be accepted.

Any request received after this date by the Registrar's Office corresponds to a withdrawal from studies (or resignation) effective from the second semester of the academic year in question. No refund of registration fees will be made. All requests to withdraw from studies must be submitted before the end of the second week of classes in the 2nd semester (i.e. by January 30, 2026)

The consequences of withdrawing from studies:

• Administrative registration is not cancelled in the schooling management database

• Grades obtained in the 1^st semester of the year in question and validated by the jury are retained

• Pedagogical registration for the second semester is cancelled

• No attendance at classes and exams for the second semester

• The academic year in question is counted as part of the university curriculum

• Students receiving a grant must inform the CROUS as soon as possible that they are dropping out. Withdrawal from studies leads to suspension of scholarship payments by CROUS.
