A RICH AND VARIED COMMUNITY LIFE

assos etus 5

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

assos etus 3

These courses will provide you with a wealth of information and help you answer all your questions on the principles of the 1901 law, the financial management of an association, the organization of events, etc.

The association toolbox

All the documents and information you need to set up your association, obtain certification and organize an association 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 so, 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 periods 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, please fill in the online request for exceptional event, 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 complete the request for authorization to sell pastries and cakes, at least 3 weeks before the start of the sale and forward it to the SVEC.

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 in complete safety, don't forget to request a "SAFE Pack " from the Student Health Service!
