Group Mailing

Group Mailing

The Group Mailing is a service that allows study abroad advisors to send in a batch all of their students’ Etudes en France applications and application fees. A minimum of 5 students is required to use the Group Mailing Service.  

This option reduces the Campus France processing time from 3 weeks to 5-7 business days with the same application fee for students of $270, and also streamlines the process for both students and advisors. 

Advisors may submit multiple Group Mailing batches for the same student group, if necessary. 

All Group Mailing submissions must be completed online.  

 

Submitting a Group Mailing Online  

  1. Provide all students this Group Mailing payment link  to pay the Campus France application fee of $270 individually. Students who are part of a group mailing must use the above link to pay online. They should not use the general payment links.
     
  2. Ensure that all students’  Etudes en France applications are complete with the required documents uploaded (headshot, photo ID, official acceptance letter with the exact dates of the program)and ensure all students’ Etudes en France applications are submitted.
