Course Registration (to be modified next year)

Once selected, the registration for mandatory courses will be done by the program managers.

They will send you a Google Form in order to enroll in elective courses with all needed instructions. However, you should start planning your course registration by checking the schedule and the syllabi of the courses in the course catalog which will be shared with you as soon as possible. 

Important:

Once you fill the form, your selection is considered FINAL and you won't be able to add, drop or modify your selection anymore (unless, of course, if one of your courses happens to get cancelled). So make sure you read carefully the syllabus of each course and register in the right number of courses.

Auditing a course at ESSEC is not allowed. So if you wish to attend an elective course, you must register officially in it.
