COURSEUP. The last stage of the annual Parcoursup procedure, that of the complementary phase, is about to end. Linternaute.com provides you with the latest key information you need to know about the post-baccalaureate admission platform.
[Mis à jour le 9 septembre 2022 à 17h08] On the Parcoursup post-baccalaureate orientation platform, the so-called “complementary phase” stage is intended for candidates who have not yet received a positive or satisfactory response to their wishes. This phase following the main admission phase began on June 23 and ends Friday, September 16 2022. The candidates concerned were able to apply for other training courses, in which there were still places available. In the event of receipt of a proposal for admission, it is a question of being reactive: the candidate has 24 hours, no more, to give his answer via Parcoursup.
After the results of the baccalaureate, at the student’s request from his or her file, a commission also has the task of providing personalized support, by offering secondary school graduates without a positive or satisfactory response an assignment in higher education, under the leadership of the rector. This is the CAES (Commission for Access to Higher Education) of the student’s academy.
► Consult the information page of the Parcoursup site on the complementary phase
► The Parcoursup toll-free number, 0 800 400 070, is open to calls from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Paris time)
If they are accepted while waiting for a place, students can monitor their progress on the waiting list on a day-to-day basis and assess the probability of being admitted to a course. You can only accept one admissions proposal at a time. It is possible to accept an admission proposal (so as not to be left with nothing) and to maintain the “pending” wish(s) that interest you at the same time.
It is indeed a yes, the student who has made this choice is accepted in the chosen training. But the student then agrees to follow a refresher course or courses adapted to his profile, from the start of the school year.
- December 21, 2021 : information stage, Parcoursup opens its web pages for consultation. You can consult the courses available in 2022, and find out about the expectations and admission conditions. This is also the time to refine your orientation project with your main teachers and/or orientation counsellors.
- From January 20 to March 29, 2022 : it’s here registration phase on Parcoursup, with opening of the file and formulation of wishes. You must complete the various sections of the file (CV, cover letters, activities and areas of interest). Your main mission also: to express your wishes (after March 29, this is no longer possible). You can make a maximum of 10 wishes and 20 sub-wishes. This two-month period still gives you time to explore the training courses and refine your choices. As part of the Parcoursup procedure, it is not necessary to rank your wishes, but you have to justify them one by one by writing a cover letter for each one.
- Until April 8, 2022 : confirmation of vows and finalization of the file. These few days of “bonus” are aimed at the final validation of wishes, but also the verification of your applications and their finalization, via the provision of all the supporting documents requested, as well as by a final touch to your letters of motivation !
- From June 2 to July 15, 2022 : main intake phase, with response from establishments to Parcoursup applicants. You will then begin to know if the courses you are targeting have accepted your application, rejected it or put you on the waiting list. In order to reduce the stress on candidates, the main procedure (admission phase) also ends in mid-July instead of the beginning of September previously.
- From June 23 to September 16, 2022 : additional admission phase, with entry of new wishes and proposals for admission. This phase is dedicated to those who have only received negative or unsatisfactory responses, or who have missed the mark of their registration. During this “second chance session”, candidates can apply for courses that still have places, with the same rules of the game as in the previous procedure, but in an accelerated version.
Whether they were in final year or students in reorientation, the candidates had the choice among some 19,500 training courses recognized by the State (among which many in learning). Each candidate had to list a maximum of 10 wishes (a multiple wish counting as a single wish, but consisting of sub-wishes, each corresponding to a separate establishment). What is the first Parcoursup 2022 assessment, now that the main admission phase has ended? The Snesup-FSU, the majority union among teachers, denounces the fact that more than 94,000 candidates have not received any admission offers (out of the 840,727 registered on the official dashboard). Asked by the JDD on July 16, Minister of Higher Education Sylvie Retailleau noted “real progress”: “Parcoursup has been improving continuously, year after year, for five years. Today, just over nine out of ten high school students received at least one proposal.”
