I am starting my first year of doctoral studies in October 2025

After receiving confirmation from the doctoral school that I can register on ADUM, I follow the procedure.

I find all the documents to download on my ADUM space or on the institutions' websites (see below - institutional procedures).

Regarding the IT charter, please only attach the appendix (for UCBL).

There are two types of doctoral enrolment:

_ Academic enrolment by the doctoral school

_ Administrative enrolment by the institution

Once your administrative enrolment has been validated, you will be added to the doctoral school's doctoral student mailing list (professional email only).

Reminder: from October of the following year, you will be in the next year regardless of your contract start date or enrolment date.

e.g.: If I enrol between September and December 2025, I will have to enrol in D2 in October 2026.

e.g.: If I enrol between January 2026 and April 2026, I will have to enrol in D2 in October 2026.

Frequently asked questions

_ The start date of my thesis on ADUM is not the same as the date on my employment contract.

The start date of the thesis on ADUM is your administrative thesis registration date. It is not the start date of your employment contract.

_ I have received an email invalidating my registration file: ‘The data you have entered does not meet our requirements. Please modify it and resubmit your file when you have done so.’

You were informed of the changes to be made in a previous email. You have not made all the changes. You have therefore received an invalidation email. Please refer to the initial email.
