Late registration

Late registration

Conditions

With the exception of first-time enrolment in the 3^rd cycle (doctorate and doctoral training), the final date for requesting enrolment is set at 30 September by the decree of November 7, 2013 defining the landscape of higher education and the academic organisation of studies.

However, beyond this date, the University may exceptionally decide to grant a late enrolment authorisation to a student who so requests, when the circumstances invoked justify it and provided that the request has been submitted by 15 February at the latest (art.101 of the aforementioned description). If you feel that exceptional circumstances justify your request, please complete the online form below.

You must, of course, comply with the legal conditions for registration (access title, financeability, etc.) before starting this procedure.

In addition, "late registration" is reserved for students who are not yet registered at the current academic year, or who have cancelled a previous registration before 30 November.

Consequently, the late registration procedure is not open to students enrolled in the Bachelor's program who wish to enroll beyond 30 September in the Master's program as part of a BA-MA registration (special case for students at the end of their cycle). These students can consult the Registration and Admission Office to discuss their options.

Finally, the late registration procedure is not open to "non-assimilated" students from outside the European Union, in application of article 4 of the General Regulations for Studies and Evaluations (which stipulates that late registration authorization can only be issued to students eligible for funding under articles 3 and 5 of the "Funding" decree) and article 19 § 2 of the same Regulations (which requires non-assimilated HUE students authorized to register to provide their visa and any missing documents by 30 September).

The late registration procedure is also not open to the following students:

• Non-EU students who have already applied for admission in 2025-2026 and have been rejected
• Student non-financiable who has already been refused admission to any higher education institution in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. If they are financeable, their application can be processed.
• Students with provisional registration not regularized by 30 November due to negligence on their part (the student is in possession of the missing document but has not submitted it to ULiège)
• Student already regularly enrolled in a course of study
• Student in default of payment of deposit (situation can be regularised by appeal)

_{¹Except for students who obtained a special session during the previous academic year and who are still enrolled, students whose deliberations have been postponed and students who are in the process of appealing for an exemption.
²For more information on the concept of financeability, see https://www.enseignement.uliege.be/financabilite}

The late registration procedure is however open to the following students:

• Students who have not yet enrolled in the 2025-2026 academic year
• Students who graduated in January and are applying for enrolment in another course of study
• Students in provisional registration who have been successful in an appeal against the equivalence decision received :
  - Either because they would initially have received a restrictive equivalence not giving them access to the desired course;
  - Or because they would initially have received a refusal of equivalence.
• Student on provisional registration who receives a restrictive equivalence that does not give him/her access to the course initially requested and submits a new application for a course to which his/her (restrictive) equivalence gives him/her access
• Students who have cancelled their registration before December 1 and wish to register for another course (/!\ not authorized for 1^st year of 1^st cycle => reorientation!)

Procedure

Students who meet the above conditions and wish to apply for enrolment beyond 30 September must :

1. (Only for students who do not have a current application for 2025-2026)
   Start their application via online form, in order to create a file (and retain their file number). However they will be blocked in the online form (because beyond 30 September).
2. Submit your release request via this link, enclosing attaching the duly completed late registration form and wait for a response from the Registration and Admissions Office.
3. Once the form has been unlocked, continue and finalise your application on the online form (or on the application tracking platform for students with an application for 2025-2026), attaching all the required documents.

Depending on the date on which the student registers, payment of the 50 euro deposit (registration between 1^st November and 1^st February) or the full registration fee (registration after 1^st February) will be required to confirm registration.
