A RICH AND VARIED COMMUNITY LIFE

There are over 50 accredited associations at USMB, bringing life to the campuses and student life at the university.
And if you'd like to set up your own association, the Service Vie Étudiante et de Campus (SVEC) is here to help.
Need funding for a project? The Fonds de Solidarité et de Développement des Initiatives Étudiantes (FSDIE), financed by the CVEC, can be used to subsidize projects and actions for USMB-approved associations. We explain this in detail below.
A toolbox is also available on this page: it contains a number of downloadable documents to help you with your student association administrative procedures (creation, renewal, balance sheets, etc.).
Supporting associations

SVEC is present on all 3 campuses to help you develop and implement your community projects.
It can help you set up your association and make it sustainable, provide information on administrative procedures, and offer support and advice on event organization.
To provide even greater clarity, SVEC is organizing aacademics day on October 5, 2024 A morning of information and questions on the principles of the 1901 law, the financial management of an association, how to organize events, how to communicate, and so on.
Do you have a question about community life or workshops? Drop in to seeyour campus coordinator or contact SVEC by e-mail or telephone 04 79 75 94 15.
USMB accreditation

To support the development and activities of its associations, the USMB has drawn up a labeling charter, which labeling student associations undertake to respect.
The label, a guarantee of quality, gives student associationsaccess to services and funding (FSDIE) to help them carry out their activities.
- A university e-mail address with the option ofsending an e-mail to all students on a campus
- The ability to publish events on the Campus Calendar in the Student Space
- On-campus association premises (subject to availability)
- Access to FSDIE grants to finance associative projects (on application)
- The possibility oforganizing events on campus, with the support of the university
- L'access to the "Safe Packa prevention and harm reduction program for festive environments offered by the Student Health Service (free training, loan of a prevention suitcase containing free equipment: internal condoms, external condoms, "Just' dose" glasses, electronic breathalyser, informative flyers, etc.).
Financing your project with FSDIE

Five FSDIE campaigns (6 this year) are held each year, during which you can apply for grants.
Before the date of each campaign, you must make an appointment with Student Life Services to discuss the objectives of your grant application.
Once your application has been completed and submitted to the CFVU secretariat, you will be invited to appear before a FSDIE committee to present your project. Make sure you meet all the deadlines for your application to be processed, and don't wait until the last minute to make an appointment!
When your project is finished, it's time to take stock! You must send the student life department a moral and financial report on your project within 2 months of the activity financed by the FSDIE (event, action, purchase, etc.).

The association toolbox

All the documents and information you need to set up your association, obtain certification and organize an associative event.
As with FSDIE applications, there are deadlines for administrative procedures.
Are you at least 2 USMB students with an idea for an association? This short guide gives you all the practical information and key steps you need to make your project a success. The SVEC can help you set up your association and provide you with resource documents to facilitate the process.
To set up an association, you need to register it with the Prefecture. This can be done directly online.
You need to renew your application each year, even if the association's board remains unchanged. To do this, you need to fill in the charter application form, which includes the following attachments:
- A board composed of at least 2/3 USMB students
- Receipt of Declaration of Creation/Modification of the association
- Copies of Articles of Association Certificate of liability insurance for the association
- Extract from the minutes of the association's Annual General Meeting
- Financial report for the past year
As a student association, you can organize various types of events on and off campus. Depending on the type of event, different administrative procedures need to be followed, in particular to reserve certain spaces on campus.
Internal USMB events
For simple events such as meetings or academics, taking place during building opening times and not requiring a request for additional equipment from the Service d'Exploitation et du Patrimoine (SEP), please complete the simple event request form, together with the safety instructions signed by the safety officer, 1 week before the dateand forward them to the SVEC.
For events including a meal and/or requiring additional equipment and/or taking place outside building opening times, you will need to fill in the special event request form online, at least 3 weeks before the date of the event. The application form is also available on the University intranet.
For events involving the sale of cakes, pastries or similar items, you will need to fill in the application form for authorization to sell pastries and cakes, at least 3 weeks before the start of the sale and forward it to the SVEC.
The SVEC can provide you with cameras, subject to approval of a detailed request sent to svec@univ-smb.fr.
Events outside the USMB
For events organized outside the university, you will need to fill in the description form for events organized by students outside the USMB, at least 10 days before the date of the event.
And to organize your events responsibly, inclusively and safely, take a look at the 2024 Festive and Integration Events Guide.
So don't forget to request a "SAFE Pack" from the Student Health Service!
