🇬🇧 English

This order makes small timing changes to France’s 2026 national pre-registration process for entry into first-cycle higher education programs. It removes one provision from the existing calendar rules and shifts several July 2026 dates by one day. The practical effect is limited but relevant for students, universities, and admissions teams using the national admissions timetable. They should check the updated July deadlines and make sure communications and internal planning reflect the new dates.
