Step 1/3: Download and complete the appropriate Excel spreadsheet
Download the DEC application form below :
The completed table will include:
- one line per student,
- the student's LAST NAME in CAPITAL LETTERS and first name in lowercase letters;
- the date in DD/MM/YYYY format;
- only the travel dates corresponding to the file created by the student;
- if two languages have been validated, put them in the same column;
- the title of the cultural file and the reference in full, in capital letters if necessary.
The grades obtained by students are not included on diplomas, so there is no need to include them in the table.

As of January 1, 2026, the amount of the administrative fees is as follows:
€20 for a "primary DEC"

Points to note!
- In the event of an error (spelling of a surname/first name, date of birth, etc.) when sending the

We wish you a wonderful graduation ceremony!
