It is highly important that you arrive in Dijon on the 3rd of September at the latest. Registration to courses will take place on the 4th and the 5th of September. Late registrations won't be accepted.

We will meet you on September 4th at 9.00 am in the Reception Area in the C Building (Verrière). During this week students will receive practical information on residence permits, registration for social security for Non-EU students, and academic registration. Along with further orientation, students will be given a guided tour of the school and the town.

Melting Potes organises various activities for international students during the orientation days as well as during the whole semester.
