• Candidates who do not have French nationality, do not hold or are future holders of the French or European Baccalaureate, and do not reside in France must, for their part, use another “white file” form bearing the same wording as the one below this, but on its first page it reads “frame to be completed by the embassy” and not, like this one, “frame to be completed by the university”.
• Candidates residing abroad, holders or future holders of the French or European baccalaureate, for enrollment in a French university first cycle, must connect to Parcoursup.
• Applicants who are nationals of a country of the European Union or of the European Economic Area must connect to Parcoursup.
