Chapô

Since the re-confinement on October 30th, and in compliance with health regulations, our institution has changed the ways in which we normally operate, from ensuring online teaching for our students to providing student relief assistance. If you are a Rennes 2 student facing hardship during the most recent confinement, please have a look at the list of support resources available to you.

  • Travaux pratiques (workshop / practical classes) for 110 groups on the 3 campuses of the university, from L1 to Master 2, according to the list of courses established by the rectorate of the Academy on November 5th, 2020 of "training that cannot be carried out at a distance because of its practical nature and thus authorizing the reception of users in the higher education institutions concerned".

Financial assistance

Whether you are a scholarship holder or not, contact the Crous! The university supports the social actions of the Crous and emergency aid is available, in particular vouchers for basic necessities or specific aid. For more information, please visit the CROUS website. If you make a request, your e-mail must detail your situation, with your specific needs clearly stated, so that their social workers will be able to then make a recommendation. You will be asked for supporting documents which make evident your difficulties. Please note that, on average, the response time is about one week.

At the beginning of December, each scholarship student will receive an exceptional grant of 150 euros with their regular scholarship payment. If the student so requests, the scholarship fees may be reviewed and recalculated on the basis of 2020 income rather than 2018 income.

The Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI) and the CNOUS have set up a national hotline for students in financial difficulty: 0 806 000 278.

Other initiatives exist, of which we are not always aware. Do not hesitate to go on social networks or to contact your student representatives. Find the list of student representative organizations.
