I attend the INFO session on the language course I would like to take ⇢ optional, but highly recommended !

When should I register for language courses?


- Registration is open from mid-August ! to mid-October.

- For Q2 courses : registration is open from January to the end of February.

- Note for French courses : registration after the first class, as explained in point 5 on the French courses page.

 

I fill in online the 'Application form for authorisation to enrol as a Free Student'.

 

Once I have completed the form, I will receive a reply from the ILV secretariat by e-mail...

In the event of a favourable response from the ILV Secretariat, I will forward its authorisation by e-mail to SIC, the Enrolment Service, together with

 

  • ∗the SIC 'Demande d'inscription particulière' document
     
  • ∗a copy of both sides of my identity card

SIC sends me the invoice by email (to my new email address @student.uclouvain.be :-), which is also available from my Dashboard.

 

∗ 2026 - 2027 ∗


From 3 to 10 credits = €199.00


11 or more credits = €199.00 + €90.00/course


⇢ max. 20 ECTS
 

Depending on the language, I register for a group on Moodle UCLouvain, an open source e-learning platform.

 

  Registering for a group on Moodle does NOT mean that I am registered for this course  

I will take note of the arrangements for the forthcoming exams.

 

⇢ Exams are an integral part of the course, even if you take them as a Free Student !

In order to receive a "certificate" of results (last level acquired with a minimum of 10/20), I must

 

  • ∗be officially registered on the course
     
  • ∗and confirm my registration for the exam during the designated period
