Administrative registration

Depending on the institution in which you are registered, you will need to find out the internal procedures from their doctoral studies department:

- Université Lyon1 (Division Doctorat-HDR)
Please note: Before contacting the Doctorate-HDR Department, please check that the answer to your question is not in the frequently asked questions FAQ Doctorat Lyon 1
- INSA Lyon  (Service Scolarité - School service)
- ENS Lyon (3rd cycle office)

To register administratively, the Doctoral Studies Department of your institution (Lyon 1, INSA Lyon or ENS Lyon) will ask you for a certain number of documents and the payment of registration fees.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

_ I have received an email to cancel my application: ‘The data you have entered does not correspond to our expectations. Please modify it and refinalise your application when you have done so’.

You were informed of the changes to be made in a previous e-mail. You have not made all the changes. You will therefore receive an invalidation email. Please refer to the initial e-mail.

_ I have resigned from my employment contract, what should I do?

During the registration period, you must enter your old contract, your letter of resignation and the institution's acceptance on ADUM and add your new employment contract.

Outside the registration period, you should send a message to the secretariat, adding your letter of resignation, your letter of acceptance from the institution and your new employment contract.
