Moroccan applicants to French universities must submit and pay on Études en France by 15 November
Campus France Maroc's application window opened on 1 October and closes at 23:59 Moroccan time on 15 November. A file counts only if it is both submitted and paid: the fee is 1,900 dirhams and is not refundable.
Students living in Morocco who want a place on a French higher-education programme have until 15 November 2026 at 23:59 Moroccan time to submit their application and pay the fee on the Études en France platform, according to Campus France Maroc. The window opened on 1 October.
What it covers: every programme connected to the platform. That includes the white preliminary admission request (DAP) for entry into a university licence (L1) or the PASS and L.AS health-studies routes, even at institutions not connected to the platform; the yellow DAP for national schools of architecture, from entry level to master's; entry into the BUT technology bachelor through the ADIUT Maroc programme; and L2, L3, professional licence, M1 and M2 at connected universities. Applicants to Polytech must file twice, once with the Polytech network itself and once on Études en France. A number of engineering and business schools are also on the platform, and Campus France advises checking with each school.
Two steps, one deadline: a file is processed only once it has been both submitted and paid for, and Campus France says it sends no payment reminders. Which step comes first does not matter, as long as both are done by 15 November. The fee, 1,900 dirhams paid online by bank card, covers one account for the whole October 2026 to September 2027 cycle and is kept even if the applicant is turned down, withdraws or is refused a visa. Marks from the current school or university year can be uploaded after submission, so there is no need to hold a file back for them. Once the deadline passes, the list of chosen programmes can only shrink: courses can be deleted but not added.
French test: unless exempt, a file must include a TCF (tout public), DELF B2 or DALF C1/C2 certificate, or a payment receipt or test convocation. Campus France says paper TCF results take about four weeks and computer-based TCF results about 15 days. Applicants to programmes taught entirely in English, other than L1, are exempt unless the institution asks for French.
Why it matters: with about five weeks left, a test booking receipt is enough to file on time, so applicants without a certificate yet can still meet 15 November. Campus France Maroc also warns that it is the only official channel and that no private agency is accredited to handle the procedure.
