Additional year
The duration of a thesis is 3 years. However, an exception for a 4th registration can be granted by the Director of the Doctoral College, on the basis of a proposal validated by the Director of the ED, provided that it is financed until the date of the defence.
If you defend before December 31, you will not have to re-register in 4th year.
For a defense beyond December 31, you must re-register in the 4th year via the ADUM platform and provide the following elements:
- a progress report or thesis writing schedule
- a copy of the report of the third individual monitoring committee (CSI3)
- proof of funding up to the scheduled defense date
- CVEC payment certificate
No derogation can be granted for registration in the 5th year for doctoral students who do not carry out another professional activity in parallel.
f the doctoral student is unable to defend his/her thesis before 15 December of the 3rd year of registration, he/she will enter a derogation regime. He/she must then apply for re-registration in the 4th year. The doctoral student must log in to his/her ADUM personal space and follow the procedure indicated.
The file must contain the following documents:
- A reasoned letter from the doctoral student
- A reasoned opinion from the thesis director
- A proof of financing
If the doctoral student cannot defend before December 31 of the 3rd year of registration, he/she enters a derogatory regime.

The re-registration request file must be sent by e-mail to the doctoral school (ed3c@sorbonne-universite.fr). It should consist of the following parts:
