FAQ


What are the tuition fees at UNICAEN for 2019/2020?
The University Board of Directors recently voted in favour of the partial exemption of differentiated enrollment fees for Non-EU/EEA students. However, these students still have to pay the regular enrolmment fee for EU/EEA residents (Licence: €170, Master: €243, Doctorate: €380, Engineering Diploma: €601). This partial exemption will be applied automatically; there is no special request to be submitted to the university.

What if my arrival in France is delayed due to problems with the issue of my student visa?
We have a strict policy about late arrivals. If you arrive after the date written on your admission letter, you will not be allowed to enroll. No exception will be made. If you find yourself in that situation, we urge you not to come France and wait for next year.

What is the léocarte?
The Léocarte is proof that you are a student at UNICAEN. It is mandatory to take your exams and enjoy student benefits (dining on campus, university libraries, on campus sports activities, discount rates on transportation...). The léocarte is equipped with the IZLY system and once your IZLY account has been set up and credited, it can be used as an easy on-campus means of payment.
More information on your léocarte: http://vie-etudiante.unicaen.fr/vie-numerique/leocarte-votre-carte-etudiante/

Etupass: How do I get it? What is it for?
The Etupass is a digital account assigned to each UNICAEN student. It is automatically generated when you first register at UNICAEN and allows you to access all your student IT services.
More information on the Etupass: vie-etudiante.unicaen.fr/vie-numerique/etupass/
You can activate your Etupass from the email sent to you following your administrative registration.
Beware! You must activate your Etupass to request your léocarte. Your Etupass gives you access to your UNICAEN webmail, online class schedule, campus Wi-Fi and IT services. 

IZLY: what is IZLY? How do I use it? 
UNICAEN campuses are cashless. You can pay for your campus services (dining, snacking, printing, laundry...) using a credit/debit card or IZLY, an online payment method which allows you to turn your léocarte into a pre-paid credit card. You will then be able to use it in university restaurants, cafeterias and vending machines. IZLY is also availbale as a mobile app.
You will receive an email, sent by the CROUS, on your UNICAEN webmail to set up your IZLY account.
