Applications are reviewed as they are received, by monthly commissions.

It takes about 30-40 minutes to fill in the application, provided you have all the required supporting documents. We recommend that you check the FAW to determine the documents required as proof of resources (income) and expenses.
Fill in your application, within the deadline, carefully following the instructions given, screen by screen. In order for your application to be validated, you must continue through to the last screen.
Warning: if you are accidentally disconnected or if you do not complete the procedure, the information entered will not be kept.

Recommendations:

• Before starting to enter your data, prepare the requested supporting documents in PDF format (maximum size: 300 KB).
• Each amount specified in resources or expenses must be justified by a document, to be downloaded with the application.
• If you have nothing to declare, enter 0 and no supporting documents will be required.
• When you have finished, don't forget to save your application.

You can ask the Student Life Centre for assistance with the online application. Computer stations are available at their helpdesks.

Once you have filed your application on the platform, notification of your application submission will be sent to you by e-mail as well as an anonymous ID number to be kept as you will need it for the rest of the procedure.

The Student Life Centres, in charge of processing the applications, check your application and the supporting documents provided.

If the application is incomplete, additional documents will be requested within 8 days. Without the additional documents, your application will not be reviewed by the commission.

You should make an appointment in advance. If you have not already done so, you should make an appointment with a social worker to assess your social situation.

• If you are only applying for exemption from tuition fees, the appointment is not mandatory, unless you are a doctoral student. Doctoral students must make an appointment with the Student Health Centre social worker.
• If you are applying for social assistance, the appointment is mandatory. You must, as a priority, make an appointment with a Bordeaux-Aquitaine CROUS social worker, except for doctoral students and students monitored by the Student Health Centre (ESE); in that case, the ESE social worker is the one who must be contacted.

You are strongly advised to make an appointment with a social worker as soon as possible, as soon as you start your application process. To do so, you must have the anonymous ID number received in the notification e-mail.

After your situation has been assessed by a social worker, your complete application is reviewed anonymously by a commission.

The commissions meet twice monthly.

You will receive notification by e-mail to collect the decision letter at the Student Life Centre on your campus.
If your application has been approved, there are no further steps to take.

No information is given by phone.
