Registration for a doctorate is compulsory and must be renewed every academic year until the end of the thesis.
During the thesis, time is counted in academic years. For example, for a student who registers for a thesis in March 2012, the first year of the thesis (D1) runs from March 2012 to August 2012, the second year of the thesis (D2) runs from September 2012 to August 2013, and so on. Such a student must register for D2 at the start of the academic year in September 2012.
A distinction must be made between pedagogical registration, which is done with the doctoral school, and administrative registration, which is done with your institution.
Academic registration with the doctoral school
Academic registration is done via the ADUM application. You will be asked to fill in as much information about your application as possible (type of funding, origin of funding, thesis director, laboratory, etc.). Once your application has been completed online, it must be validated by the thesis director, the laboratory and the doctoral school. For more details, depending on your situation, see the tabs "Registration for 1st year", "Re-enrolment in D2 and D3" or "Re-enrolment in D4 and above".
ADUM allows you to:
- Access your file throughout your doctoral studies
- Re-register with the ED each year
- Declare online any activities, training or mobility that will enhance your doctorate
- Register for multidisciplinary training courses at the University of Lyon
- Register for training courses dedicated to doctoral student-teachers
Administrative registration with your institution
You will be invited by e-mail to register with the ED partner institution that you have chosen in advance. You will receive by post details of the procedure to follow and the date until which you can proceed.
Doctoral registration fees must be paid each year to your institution. The amount of these fees is set each year by ministerial decree. As an indication, these amounted to €380 for 2012/2013. A further €5 may be added for preventive medicine and optional access to sports activities.
The date on which you pay your first-year registration fee marks the start of your thesis. In practical terms, you will have three years to complete your doctorate from this date.
Joint thesis
You must be registered with both institutions every year of your doctorate. The cotutelle agreement provides for exemption in one of the two institutions. Registration for the 1st year and re-registration in your Lyon institution (indicate the ED's partner institutions) are compulsory, even if you are not in Lyon during the registration period.
The ED requires that co-tutored PhD students spend a minimum of 6 months in the Lyon laboratory over 2 consecutive years.
CIFRE thesis
Following a CIFRE thesis application to the ANRT, the doctoral school must issue a certificate at the request of the doctoral student/dissertation director. To obtain this certificate, write to: infomaths@univ-lyon1.fr and provide the information below. Send the documents with a link.
