Changes to Registration

Until 30th September, any student can, in compliance with the legal conditions of access and funding eligibility, modify their registration and change course*.

However, this possibility is extended until 31st October for first-year undergraduate students (1st 60-credit block). It is then subject to a specific procedure.

The steps to be taken by the student concerned are described below:

Please note: there are no additional costs associated with these registration changes.

Between 1st and 31st October – Only for BAB1 students (1st year of 1st cycle)

To be able to change their registration between 1st and 31st October, first year undergraduate students must have, at the very least, paid the 50-euro deposit for their current registration** or have applied for a grant***. The rest of the procedure varies according to the student’s profile (see below).

UMONS students wishing to change their registration at UMONS must:

After checking that the student complies with the conditions set, the Registration Office will confirm the student’s new registration.

As soon as the new registration is recognised on the MyUMONS platform, the student must contact the Faculty in order to establish their new programme (PAE).

 

UMONS students wishing to change their registration to another institution must:

  • Download the certificate of registration for the current academic year via MyUMONS.

Proof of payment of the deposit or full registration fees or proof of submission of the application for a study grant to the DAPE (French Community of Belgium) must also be provided to the host establishment.

  • Complete the Block 1 Registration Change Request form available from the institution you wish to register with. The UMONS form will not be valid at the new institution.
  • Send the form and the certificate to your host institution accompanied by proof of payment of the deposit or full registration fees or proof of submission of the scholarship application to the DAPE (French-speaking community of Belgium)

After checking that the conditions are met and once the change of registration has been accepted by your new institution, the latter will inform the UMONS.

You will no longer have to pay the 50-euro deposit to UMONS. The balance of your fees will however have to be paid to your host institution.

 

Students from another institution wishing to change their registration to UMONS must:

  • Ask their home institution for a certificate of regular registration (stating whether the deposit has been paid or a grant has been applied for) and proof of payment of the deposit.
  • Complete the Block 1 Registration Change Request form
  • Submit their request for modification via by email to modification_inscription_bloc1@umons.ac.be and attach the abovementioned duly completed form, as well as all the documents required for your registration (identity card, visa, proof of previous years of study, etc.). You will then be given an access key to the online application form.
  • Create an account to access the online application form with the access key provided.

On receipt of the completed application, the Registration Office will unlock the online form so that the student can finalise their new online application.
If the application complies with the conditions set, the Registration Office will register the new application and inform the student and the home institution.

Note:

  • This procedure cannot be carried out over the telephone and cannot be carried out by a third party.
  • UMONS students who are considering changing their registration or their course but are still unsure can turn to the Student Guidance and Counselling Service.

[*]  When a student wishes to change institutions, they must complete the registration procedures applicable at the new institution by 30th September and ensure that their registration at the University of Mons is cancelled.
[**] This 50 euros will be deducted from the total amount of the registration fees for the new registration.
[***] Students who have applied for a DAPE grant benefit from a provisional grant rate (SAE pending). No fees can be charged. If the grant is refused, the student will have to pay 50 euros, otherwise the registration will be invalidated. If the student has left UMONS, the 50-euro deposit must still paid to UMONS.

 

For students who are not registered in the first year of the undergraduate programme and wish to change course after 30th September, there is only one way to do so:

  • Cancel your registration at UMONS by 30th November at the latest, or with your home institution if you are not a UMONS student.
    and
  • Request a waiver for a late application which will be subject to a decision by the academic authorities.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that the late application will be accepted. This procedure should therefore be followed with caution.
