Parcoursup 2026 Opens Registration as France’s Post‑Bac Application Cycle Begins

This year’s round adds more transparent admissions data and guidance tools, even as intense demand and uneven access to help keep the process stressful for families.

Lors du salon des études supérieures et de l’alternance Studyrama, à Nancy, le samedi 17 janvier 2026.
À partir de ce lundi 19 janvier 2026, les candidats peuvent s’inscrire sur la plateforme d’inscription aux études universitaires.

Overview

  • Candidates can register now, make up to 10 non‑ranked choices until March 12, and finalize files and confirmations by April 1 across roughly 25,000 programs, with additional options for apprenticeships.
  • Formation pages now display profiles of previously admitted students and expanded success and employment statistics, complemented by a simulator estimating admission chances based on past cohorts.
  • Admissions replies start on June 2, followed by a complementary phase for those without offers from June 11 to September 10.
  • Licences remain the dominant choice (about 70% include one), with strong interest in PASS, engineering schools, IFSI and a growing share for BUT; last year saw a record ~980,000 candidates.
  • Demand for guidance is surging, with expanded official resources (CIOs, student ambassadors, online tools) but also rising paid coaching that can widen inequalities, and a new teacher‑training licence (LPE) now visible on the platform.
