Registration in 6 steps
Following the admission confirmation email, students complete their registration with the school on an online platform.
In order to enroll in a French higher education institution, students must provide a justificatif indicating that you have paid the Contribution Vie Étudiante et de Campus (CVEC) or are exempt.
This contribution, amounting to 105€, is intended to bolster preventive and health education initiatives, and to promote the social, health, cultural and sporting welcome and support of male and female students. This contribution is payable only once a year, even in the case of enrolments at several higher education establishments.
Some students are exempt and must make a specific request on the dedicated website: https://cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr/ . If the student is unable to provide proof of exemption at the time of registration, he or she will then have to pay for it and request a refund at a later date on the same site.
Information and registration on the dedicated site
International students coming as part of an international exchange are not affected by this procedure. However, it becomes compulsory if they wish to enroll in another course outside the exchange agreement.
Registration is online on the site: https://inscriptions.ec-lyon.fr with Chrome or Firefox browsers from a PC.
- For first-time students: login with the provisional credentials sent by email in the "I don't have my ECL login yet" section. You will then receive new login details. If you haven't received anything, check your spam folder.
- For students already enrolled at Centrale the previous year: log in with your Centrale login by clicking on "I already have an ECL login"
If you lose your login and/or password, please contact dsi.support@listes.ec-lyon.fr
Registration will be validated only after payment of at least the first installment and validation by the schooling department. Fees can be spread over three successive monthly payments. Once the tuition fees have been validated by the schooling department, you will be able to log back on to the platform to choose your payment schedule and proceed with payment.
Several payment methods are available:
- PAYBOX online payment: please note that online payment will no longer be possible once you have clicked on "finish".
- Bank transfer: contact service-recettes@listes.ec-lyon.fr to obtain the IBAN.
- Payment by credit card on the Lyon-Écully campus: make an appointment in advance with the revenue department service-recettes@listes.ec-lyon.fr.
Once the registration fee has been validated by the school, you can log back on to the platform to choose your payment schedule and proceed with payment.
If you expect to receive a notification of boursee du gouvernement français, we advise you not to proceed with online payment, until you receive the notification (unless you are taking steps to obtain a visa). On the other hand, if this document is not received on the first day of school, you will need to start payment.
If you have received a scholarship notification in the meantime, simply log back on to the platform in the "Scholarships" section, then "Add a scholarship". The schooling department will process your request and get back to you. This can be done at any stage of the registration process, whether or not a payment has already been made.
- update your address
- follow your deadlines
- filing a scholarship notification even if received late
- upload your tuition certificate or payment receipt once payment has been made in accordance with the payment schedule
In the event of your first enrolment, your student card will be delivered to you at the start of the academic year, provided that all the registration steps have been completed and validated by the deadline.
The day after your registration has been validated, you will be able to activate your Centrale computer account. The procedure will be communicated to you at that time.
Once you have activated your computer account, you will be able to log on to the registration site with your Centrale login by clicking on "I already have an ECL login"
The certificate of schooling will then be available for download in French and English.
The creation of your Centrale email will take place in a second step.
Once you have paid the CVEC, you will receive an e-mail from CROUS to activate your IZLY account. If you are not concerned by this tax, this e-mail will be sent to you once you have activated your computer account at the École and we have issued your card (step 3).
This step is important to enable you to benefit from access to the university restaurant as soon as the new school year starts.
Payment for your meals will be made via this account using the IZLY application or your student card. Once the account has been activated, remember to top it up!
