In case of a favourable answer to your admission, you will be invited to confirm your registration by following the procedure indicated in the e-mail.

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email. If you are a new student, you will be asked to activate your myULiège portal using your student number "s" and to create your "@doct.uliege.be" email address.
► Are you also a staff member?
Please note that if you are also a "ULiège staff member", you will have two separate portals:
- your staff member portal (login "u...")
- your student portal (identifier "s...")
You must consult both, they do not merge at registration! Your doctoral and registration information can be found on the student portal.

The total registration fee is €835 for the first registration. You will have to pay the 50€ deposit by 31 October at the latest. The balance must be paid by 1 February. Everything is done online via your student portal.
If you are eligible for free tuition, please provide us with supporting documents: attestation of ULiège service for my staff members, attestation of scholarship... to be sent to admission.phd@uliege.be.
Re-registering for the Doctorate for the following year
Re-registration for the doctorate is only possible once your result has been encoded and transmitted to the Enrolment Service by the Faculty.
As soon as the result "Admitted to continue" is communicated to us, we will automatically proceed with your re-registration.
However, you must check via your "student" portal that you have been re-enrolled by 30 September at the latest. If this is not the case, contact us (see contact below).
Also, the re-registration fee of €32.00 must be paid by 31 October.
Cancelling your PhD registration
Doctoral students who do not wish to continue their thesis must notify the Faculty AND the Registration Service. To notify the Registration Service, you should send an e-mail via your @doct.uliege.be address.
If you interrupt your PhD before 30 November, the academic year will not be counted in your course.
