Applying using the eCandidat application

Your circumstances mean you must apply using the eCandidat application.

Step 1: consult the courses open to applicants and course choice calendars

The eCandidat application will open on 18 February 2025.

However, this does not mean that all courses will open their applications on that date. In some cases, applications will open later.

To find out the exact application timetable for the courses you are interested in, go to the "Degree programs" tab on the eCandidat platform.

You can also go directly to the websites of the components to which the courses are attached for further details.

Step 2: create your file

  1. You must enter your application file online and make a maximum of 4 wishes for the whole university.
  2. Check your e-mail frequently: at each stage of the procedure, messages are sent to keep you informed of the processing of your application.
  3. You will receive an e-mail informing you that your application has been received. If your application is incomplete, you must log on to eCandidat to find out which documents are missing or incomplete, and to re-submit them.
  4. Requests are studied by the establishment's admissions committee.
  5. Once the committee has examined your file, you will receive a message informing you of the outcome of your application (favorable, unfavorable, complementary list, etc.).
  6. Students who have received a favorable decision must log in again to confirm their application or withdraw.
  7. Students who have confirmed their application receive a message indicating that they are authorized to register, and information on how to register.
  8. In most cases, registration is carried out online.
  9. If you are a student from another French university and your application is accepted, you must transfer your file from your home university to Université Grenoble Alpes.
