Once your Wishlist is ready, please email it to iaelyon.wishlist@univ-lyon3.fr, indicating whether you have chosen Bachelor's, Master's, or both.

Carène Chevalier, the academic coordinator, will check whether your course selection is acceptable and confirm your admission. Please do not use the intranet to apply for iaelyon course programs.

3. How can I change my course selection?  

Course changes are allowed up to three weeks after the start of the semester, and only in the following cases: language level, overlapping courses, difficulty keeping up with the course (if possible, confirmed by the instructor).

You must then send your Wishlist to iaelyon.wishlist@univ-lyon3.fr, indicating in red the courses you wish to remove and in green those you wish to add. 

For overlapping courses: you must attend all courses, but up to two timetable conflicts are tolerated. If there are more than two overlaps, please contact Ms. Carène CHEVALIER (carene.chevalier@univ-lyon3.fr) to change your course selection, then send your updated Wishlist to iaelyon.wishlist@univ-lyon3.fr.

Ms. Carène CHEVALIER (carene.chevalier@univ-lyon3.fr) can register you for the E-Learning course. You will find the available E-Learning courses in the course catalogue.

7. Can I take FLE (French as a Foreign Language) courses during my exchange?

If your French level is equivalent to at least B1: FLE and introductory French culture courses are mandatory if you wish to obtain the DEUF certificate.
The FLE course is worth 5 ECTS credits, and the French culture course is worth 3 ECTS credits.  

French-speaking students from Belgium and Canada are exempt from the French as a foreign language course, but must take the French culture course if they wish to obtain the DEUF certificate.

For those who wish to obtain the DEUF certificate but whose level of French is below the minimum required, we unfortunately do not offer French courses for beginners (A1, A2). That said, you can participate in the DEUF program and take courses taught in English, but you will not receive your DEUF certificate attesting that you have studied in French.
