Information for PhD candidates

Doctoral school contacts

If the email address used by your doctoral school is an @universite-paris-saclay.fr email address, you will not be able to contact them, but you can continue to carry out your procedures normally on ADUM.
If the doctoral school uses another email address with another domain name, you can contact them as you would normally.

Do I need to reenrol if my thesis defence is scheduled before 31 December 2024?
If your thesis defence is planned before 31 December 2024, you do not need to reenrol.
If your thesis defence is scheduled after 31 December 2024, you MUST reenrol.

Thesis defences and other official procedures

Logon to your ADUM account and proceed to the thesis defence application.
Please remember that if you are defending your thesis before 31 December, you do not need to reenrol. However, if your thesis defence is after 31 December 2024, you must first reenrol (see previous section).
You can carry out all of your defence-related requests on ADUM.

How can I upload my thesis for the first or second time via the university library?
If you are with affiliated AgroParisTech, UEVE or UVSQ, you should contact the librarians in these institutions, and who manage your application using the email addresses of these institutions.

If you are affiliated with ENS, CentraleSupélec, the university libraries at Orsay, Sceaux or Kremlin-Bicêtre:
- If you are uploading your thesis for the second time, contact the person managing your dossier via their professional telephone number (see below). Please only contact the person with whom you are already in contact regarding how to upload your thesis.
- If you are uploading your thesis for the first time, if you had confirmed an appointment time with the person managing your dossier while they were on annual leave, they have probably not seen your email. Do not hesitate to call them.
Individuals without appointments for the first upload of their thesis, with upcoming thesis defences, will be contacted by librarians.
