All meetings will be held online on the Microsoft Teams platform. In order to participate, you must be registered at the University of Burgundy and have activated your student electronic account (more info on activating your account here). Then, access Teams and join the International Students 2021/2022 group where the information meetings will take place.  

At each meeting we will cover the same topics - you only need to attend one meeting to get all the information you need. Good to know: If you are unable to attend one of the online meetings, you can participate in one of the guided tours of the Dijon campus during which we cover the same topics. For more information on the Dijon campus tours, see the Guided tours of the Dijon campus paragraph above.  

Even if you cannot attend one of the meetings, we encourage you to join the official international student group created on Teams by the International Office. This group will allow you to ask your questions, to exchange with members of the International Office throughout the year if needed and to access useful documents (how to join the French social security system, to get your Covid-19 vaccine, to register for cultural adaptation workshops, to obtain the culture card...).
