Reduced prices
All courses are fee-based, but in certain cases students can benefit from a reduction in the registration fee (exemption from the registration fee).
The discount is linked to the student’s status.
This can only be granted if the student fulfills all the conditions associated with his or her status (see below).
Students entitled to a discount who apply in June to re-enroll in courses starting in September will have to pay the full price. They will then have to present a certificate from the new school year and request a refund of part of the registration fee. If the student is unable to pay the full fee in June, the registration cannot be completed and the place on the chosen course cannot be reserved. They will have to return at a later date with a valid document, and we will only be able to register them if there is still room available.
