Switching Trainings at the End of the Year
You are registered in 1st year and you wish to switch to a different training course at the end of the university year?
Whether you want to change for a training course within the University of Orléans or in another institution, you must make an enquiry on the ParcourSup platform.
ParcourSup allows you to apply to both selective trainings (e.g. BTS, BUT, schools…) and non-selective trainings (bachelor’s degrees, 1st year of medical studies…).
Details on the Switching Procedure on ParcourSup:
Contrary to high school students, the "fiche avenir" is not required for students.
1st year students who wish to switch to a different training course can be accompanied by a professional guidance department (CIO, DOIP). If so, they can download and fill out a “certificate of follow-up for their switching project” which will be one of the elements taken into account when examining the wishes entered in ParcourSup. This certificate must be filled out by the department supporting the student and is an additional element taken into account by the teachers who will give an opinion on the student’s application.
How to Connect to ParcourSup?
Get on the ParcourSup platform (in French) and check the “Registration” section in the website’s FAQ.
Applicants for switching training are usually able to retrieve the elements of their file from the previous year on ParcourSup if they still have access to the email address they used when they first registered. Be careful, this possibility is only given once, at the time of the application file creation.
Important Dates in the ParcourSup Procedure:
