International Students Registration fees - IUT of Rodez

Below are the individual situations and exemption criteria that exempt you from paying differentiated fees when registering or re-registering at IUT of Rodez.

This information will be updated shortly following the publication of Decree No. 2026-385 of 19 May 2026 concerning the arrangements for the exemption from tuition fees for international students enrolled on courses at public higher education institutions under the remit of the Minister for Higher Education. 

In all cases, you will be required to pay the differential fees.
