Getting Organized

Checklist

Look up details about application procedures at Efrei and send all your application documents before the deadlines to Efrei’s International Department. Non-degree-seeking students must select courses in the Efrei course catalogue and ask for approval at their home university before sending  their Learning Agreement.

Upon reception of the letter of admission or letter of invitation, apply for a visa and renew your passport if necessary.

Three months before arrival, complete the accommodation form and return it along with your application in order for Efrei to reserve a room for you. You may also contact the international advisor to make sure a room has been booked for you. Efrei will inform students of housing availability and confirm appropriate arrival dates.

Book your flight or your train ticket as soon as you get confirmation of the arrival dates from Efrei.

The Efrei International Team provides a pick-up service for international students. As soon as you have made your travel arrangements to Paris, email your arrival information to i-team@efrei.fr.
Upon arrival you will be welcomed by our student volunteers who will drive you to your accommodation.

• For EU students, arrange your student health insurance and request the European Health Card (EHIC).
• For non EU students, it is mandatory to purchase health insurance in France.

Take advantage of your last months at home to have a complete medical checkup. This simple precaution may help prevent health problems and complications while in France (see your dentist, your ophthalmologist, your gynecologist, etc.).

Check with your bank that your credit card can be used in France.

Settle all your bills, cancel your phone service and tie all other loose ends.
