How it works

2. Click on the certificate you require

3. Fill out the google form (exception for Proof of Diploma certificates)

   • Make sure to capitalize the first letters of your first and last name, to include your zip code if it is required and to provide information in French (use your preferred web browser to translate into French!)

   • Double check you selected the correct dates and information in the form. We provide guidance on how to select between certain options.

4. The completed certificate will be sent back to your New School email in PDF form within 5 working days

   • Request your forms in a timely manner. If you have a tight deadline request your certificates early! Filling out the form multiple times will only slow down the processing of certificates for yourself and your fellow students. 

This certificate is only available in French. English-language certificates are available lower on this page.

Request this certificate if you are trying to do one of the following:

• apply for housing in France

• sign up for the French healthcare system (AMELI)

• apply for a French social security number

• apply for the French public transportation pass (Navigo)

• apply for a French cell phone number

NOTE: Please know that this certificate is the same for any of the administrative procedures listed above. You only need to fill out the form once and the same certificate can be used for each of these administrative procedures.

All these certificates are only available in French. English-language certificates are available lower on this page. 

It is recommended you learn what these documents are called in French. It will make your immigration journey in France easier.

If you have not already, please use the What Documents Do I Need guide that corresponds to your situation to understand what certificates are required for your visa renewal application or your carte de séjour renewal application.

• What Documents Do I Need - renewing visa for first time

• What Documents Do I Need - renewing carte de séjour (CDS)

Requesting incorrect document(s) and/or filling out the forms incorrectly could result in the rejection or delayed processing of your renewal application. Spell your names correctly, capitalize first letters and check that you are spelling words correctly in French with accents (such as your nationality, your street name).

Request your transcript (a copy of your degreeworks signed and stamped) directly from your academic advisor.

The Proof of Diploma certificate is available in French and in English.

This certificate indicates that you successfully completed your undergraduate or graduate degree requirements and will be awarded a diploma.

Students request either certificate directly from The New School in New York.

• The French-language version will open up an email message to creditanddegree@newschool.edu. Indicate in your email your N-number, that you are a Parsons Paris student, and that you are requesting a French-language proof of diploma certificate.

All these certificates are only available in French.

Non-European students enrolled in the PDPG may need a signed internship agreement (convention de stage) for their visa or carte de séjour renewal applications to be accepted. It is strongly recommended that you prioritize finding an internship over summer travel plans.

Please use the guides specifically for the PDPG to understand what certificates are required for your renewal application and how to submit your renewal application while enrolled in the PDPG.

The certificate of enrollment declares you are enrolled at Parsons Paris. The certificate of attendance declares you are attending classes. The certificate of achievement declares you successfully passed your previous school year.

In order to ensure all students’ safety and security at Parsons Paris, both during school hours and after hours in the evenings and weekends, students must comply with the following policy and procedures whenever there is a need to bring outside guest(s)/visitor(s) to campuses (Saint Roch and Romainville) whatever the reason may be. 

Failure to do so will result in violation of the Student Code of Conduct and potentially engage the liability of the school and/or the visitor. Any visitor not approved in advance will NOT be permitted to enter the building or upon being found, the visitor will be escorted from the school premises immediately.
