1st year
Administrative registration can only be done after obtaining the pedagogical agreement of the doctoral school. (cf. "APPLICATION")
The administrative registration university depends on i) the attachment of the host laboratory to one or more of the co-accredited universities, ii) on the establishment which will manage your employment contract, and iii) on the nature of the thesis funding.
PhD students who are succesfull in the Doctoral Contract Allocation Process enroll in the university that awarded the funding.
For other funding, the prevailing rule is that each PhD student registers in the university to which his/her laboratory is attached, if the laboratory is attached to one of the 3 co-accredited universities. If the laboratory is located outside these 3 co-accredited universities, the doctoral student registers at Sorbonne University.
After validation of the student's application by the Director of the Doctoral School, he is invited to complete his administrative registration online via the platform ADUM.
PhD students registering in the 1st year must create an ADUM account to submit their registration request. This account will allow them to fill in the details of their thesis and manage a number of administrative procedures
Connect to https://www.adum.fr/index.pl to create your account and start the registration process.
Information on the registration calendar and the procedure to follow can be found on the Doctoral College website at the following link: https://www.sorbonne-universite.fr/affectation-dans-un-laboratoire-de-la-faculte-des-sciences-et-ingenierie-ou-de-medecine

Administrative registration and payment of fees are managed by the Doctoral Students Welcome Office (BAD). Each year in September, doctoral students must renew their registration with the Doctoral Students Welcome Office. The BAD is also in charge of the defense procedure, the awarding of diplomas and other administrative procedures (requests for caesura, specific assistance for doctoral scholarship holders, etc.).

The tuition service
PSL University is made up of several establishments hosting ED3C laboratories: ENS, Collège de France, ESPCI.
For establishments operating registration (ENS, ESPCI), the administrative registration procedures are specific to each establishment preparing the thesis. Doctoral students must inquire directly with the education/doctorate department of their establishment. The ENS is also the registration operator for the Collège de France

At the end of the admission procedure, it is signed by the doctoral candidate, the thesis director and, if applicable, the co-director, the director of the research unit and the director of the doctoral school.
Once their application has been validated by the ED, the doctoral student can proceed with the administrative registration.
STEP 1
Candidates download the registration file on eCandidat (Guide pour la création de votre compte eCandidat). The access link to the platform will be communicated by the doctoral school.
Composition of the file:
- CV
- Copy of ID
- Residence permit (if applicable)
- Fiche d’autorisation d’inscription signed by the PhD director and the laboratory director
- ID photo
- The doctoral access title (copy of the Master's degree or certificate of success)
- The research project
- The Convention de formation completed and signed
- The Charte de thèse signed by all actors (PhD director, PhD student, laboratory director and ED director)
- The Formulaire de déclaration de financement de la thèse
- Pedagogical registration form (available on e-candidat in the “additional form” section)
In the Training Agreement, under "ED3C Prerequisites", candidates must indicate:
"The thesis must contain original research by the doctoral student. The stated objective of ED3C is for the doctoral student to have at least one signed first-position publication accepted in an international peer-reviewed journal. A first-position signed article submitted for publication may be considered for approval to defend. These criteria apply to all doctoral students in the ED, regardless of their enrolment institution, discipline or category (paid or unpaid)."
STEP 2
Once the file has been completed, candidates must upload it on the e-candidate website and send it to the doctoral school (ed3c@sorbonne-universite.fr) . These documents are then signed by the Director of the ED and sent by the Doctoral School to the University of Paris Cité for signature by the President of the University.
STEP 3
The enrolment office will contact you to finalise your enrolment and provide you with your student card and school certificate.
STEP 4
Although the administration of the UPC does not use the ADUM platform for registrations and defense management, the day to day management of the ED3C relies on this tool. It is therefore imperative that each doctoral student creates an account on the platform ADUM and provide the requested information and documents.
