Yes, they can register with their recognized-equivalent degrees.

Pre-registration is done through the official site www.ufc.dz, the only approved platform for Bachelor's and Master's pre-registration. Treat any other link with caution.

Online payment of registration fees is done via progres.mesrs.dz/epaiement, a site run by the Ministry of Higher Education, not by any single university.

The university sets an official pre-registration period (usually May–June), then a second one in late July–early August for that session's graduates. Complementary phases may open later, but there is no automatic reopening — following the announcements is essential.

Baccalaureate holders (regular or free-candidate, regardless of the year obtained) for the Bachelor's, and holders of a Bachelor's degree or equivalent for the Master's.

A minimum average may be required for certain specialties depending on each centre's pedagogical seats and the orientation system in the ministerial circular. For Bachelor's registration, no minimum average is required.

No. Only one pedagogical registration is allowed per academic year and in a single level, whether at UFC or any other university. Anyone in breach must choose one of the two and regularize their situation.

Orientation is set centrally based on the baccalaureate stream (for the Bachelor's) or the Bachelor's specialty (for the Master's), which defines the list of possible specialties for each applicant.

No. All specialties register through the university site, which redirects you to preinscriptions.ufc.dz; the student picks their specialty from the list available for their stream.

Pre-registration is an online request where the applicant states their preferences (specialty and centre). After initial admission, the electronic file is uploaded and reviewed by the administrative services for final admission or rejection; the admitted student then registers on PROGRES and pays the fees to confirm the registration definitively.

New students are those registering for the first time (recent bac or Bachelor's, never registered before). Returning students hold an older baccalaureate never registered on PROGRES, whose registration requires special procedures. Those moving up a year or repeating are only concerned with re-registration.

Via PROGRES at progres.mesrs.dz/epaiement, by entering the bac year and bac registration number (for new students) or the university registration number (for returning students), then paying exclusively with Algérie Poste's Edahabia card.

No, you may use someone else's Edahabia card (a relative or acquaintance) if you don't have your own.

The amount is set nationally and announced each season on PROGRES; in past seasons it has included transport and accommodation fees where applicable. Since it changes yearly, rely on the figure shown directly on your payment page.

Basic fees are usually uniform nationally across levels, but additional charges (transport, accommodation) may vary by the student's situation. Check the amount shown in your account when paying.

Since training is mainly distance-based with periodic in-person gatherings, whether transport/accommodation fees apply depends on the national PROGRES system. If the amount appears on the payment page it is due; otherwise it doesn't apply to you — best to check with your centre.

No. Registration is only complete once fees are paid within the deadlines. Failing to pay in time leads to the deletion of the student's account from PROGRES.

The order is: online pre-registration → upload the electronic file → pay the fees online → then deposit the original baccalaureate and/or Bachelor's at the centre upon graduation, to obtain the degree.

Keep the bank debit notice (or a screenshot of the transaction) and take it to your centre's registration office to have your situation resolved manually.

The deadline is set yearly (often a few weeks after payment opens). After it, unregistered accounts are deleted from PROGRES and the student may be barred from completing registration that season unless a catch-up phase opens.

No, the university relies exclusively on electronic payment via the Edahabia card and does not accept alternative payment methods at the centres.

This usually means your data (especially bac details) isn't in the PROGRES database because you were never registered through it. The fix is to go to your centre's registration office to have your data entered manually, or wait for the complementary phase dedicated to these cases.

Usually because the bac number or year don't match what's recorded at the National Exams Office (ONEC). Enter the data exactly as on the bac certificate. If the error persists despite correct data, there may be errors in your original ONEC record — contact the centre's registration office.

This usually happens due to a delay in syncing between the PROGRES/WebEtu databases, or because the promotion of successful students' data isn't complete at the centre yet. Wait a few days and retry; if it persists, contact the centre or its IT service.

There are several causes: a prior registration at another university/specialty (choose one and regularize at the centre), missing bac data because you were never on PROGRES, or errors in the bac number or national ID number.

The former is the pre-registration platform for choosing specialty and centre. PROGRES is a national integrated system covering all higher-education students registered since 2016 in Algerian universities across the three levels.

It's the student's personal space on PROGRES, showing your registration history across seasons; it's used to confirm you're actually registered for the current season before paying.

Contact your centre's IT service to reactivate the account or reset the password, as in most cases this can't be done remotely by the student alone.

The error may stem from an old un-cancelled registration or a data match with another person. Go immediately to the registration office to clarify and correct the situation before the deadlines.

The file is entirely electronic, with no paper documents: a scan of the baccalaureate or transcript, a scan of the biometric national ID, digital photos, and a scan of the Bachelor's (for Master's). At graduation, the original baccalaureate and Bachelor's are required to collect the degree.

Originals are handed to the regional centre your registration belongs to, not the central administration in Algiers, unless the official announcement states otherwise.

You can generally submit a digital copy to complete registration, except for pre-2016 baccalaureate holders never registered at any university, and holders of an equivalent degree, who follow special procedures.

Yes, you can request a replacement from the National Exams and Competitions Office (ONEC) in the wilaya where you sat the baccalaureate — a process separate from the university.

Usually the stamped paper original isn't required; the electronic copy suffices for pre-registration, except for returning students never on PROGRES. The final graduation file, however, requires the original.

Usually recent digital photos on a white background, uploaded via preinscriptions.ufc.dz during pre-registration.

Submit a written, signed cancellation request to your centre's registration office, with your registration card and an ID. There's usually no self-service online cancellation. Ask first about deadlines and consequences, especially if you've paid (a refund is usually not guaranteed).

Generally, fees paid after final registration are not refunded, except in exceptional cases decided by the centre or the supervising ministry.

First complete final registration at your initially assigned institution, then submit a transfer request online only during the dedicated period, with an acceptable justification (a residence document for external transfers, or a detailed written request for internal ones).

The most common is the student's professional situation (an employee) requiring a flexible remote mode, or documented social/geographic reasons. The final decision rests with the receiving institution.

No, it's subject to the receiving institution's (UFC) approval, which checks seat availability, specialty match, and document validity at final registration.

No, transfers are subject to a period set yearly (usually right after final registrations); requests outside this period are not accepted.

Yes, UFC is a university like any other; its staff — whether administrative or teaching — are subject to the same laws and procedures as at other universities, with the same rights and duties.

The official weekend is Friday–Saturday, with working days Sunday to Thursday. Centres may, however, arrange exceptional Saturday reception during peak periods, announced in advance. Call the centre first to be sure.

The university has a central seat in Algiers and a wide network of regional centres and annexes across the wilayas; registration and follow-up happen at the centre nearest your residence or the one you chose during pre-registration.

The assigned centre's name appears in your admission result on preinscriptions.ufc.dz; it's the one you chose or were assigned during pre-registration based on availability.

That falls under internal transfer procedures, subject to the same conditions and periods as university transfers — it's neither automatic nor immediate.

This is entirely separate from student registration; it concerns recruitment competitions. Results are published on ufc.dz and the university's page; applicants should follow the recruitment section.

Through the "Information & Communication Cell" Facebook page, or by directly contacting your centre's registration office, or via the official email for student and public queries listed on the website.

Yes, degrees awarded by UFC are officially equivalent to those of on-site universities under the LMD system; the only difference is the study mode (distance with periodic in-person gatherings), with no difference in academic or administrative value. They carry the same legal and academic value as other universities' degrees and are recognized by the Civil Service.

Training is mainly "open and distance," with mandatory periodic in-person gatherings (intensive lectures or assessments) organized at the centres, with details announced by each centre per specialty.

Yes, that's the core purpose of this type of university, designed for employees and workers wishing to continue their studies without full-time availability.

The official site ufc.dz (news section), preinscriptions.ufc.dz, and the "Information & Communication Cell" Facebook page are the three most reliable, up-to-date sources.

First make sure final registration is actually complete at the centre, since the app pulls data from PROGRES and only updates after your file is processed administratively. If it's still incomplete after a few days, go to the centre's IT service.

The card appearing is a strong positive sign that payment and basic registration were recorded, but it doesn't replace confirming completeness — some administrative notes may only appear later.

Usually yes, as an initial proof, but some bodies may require the printed card from the centre, so it's best to collect the official RFID card from the centre when available.

You can access the same services via the browser at progres.mesrs.dz without the app, offering the same information (registration status, card, payment).

Add the original Bachelor's (or a provisional certificate if the original isn't received) and the transcripts of the Bachelor's years, as they form the basis for orientation toward the available Master's specialty.

It doesn't block pre-registration, but the provisional certificate or the final transcript is usually required as you finalize graduation.

Current-session graduates usually aren't covered by the first period (reserved for holders of earlier degrees); a dedicated date opens for them later (often late July–early August), announced separately.

Orientation depends on how close the Bachelor's specialty is to the target Master's field and stream; admission is left to the centre's pedagogical committee per the approved "orientation map" for each field.

Yes, the degrees are equivalent to their on-site counterparts under the LMD system; under ministerial instruction No. 94, holders of a UFC Master's may take part in doctoral competitions organized by other universities, and Bachelor's holders may also enroll in a Master's at other universities, and vice versa.

Yes, holders of a UFC Bachelor's degree can enroll in a Master's at other universities, and vice versa.

No, students moving up (re-registration) use the university registration number (not the bac number) to access the re-registration portal on PROGRES, and don't go through the preinscriptions platform meant for new students.

Uploading successful students' data varies in timing from one centre to another; the university usually allows enough time. If your result doesn't show, wait a few days or contact your centre's registration office directly.

Yes in principle, the same Edahabia online payment applies, but deadlines for repeaters and progressing students may differ from new students' — follow the announcement for your category.

This is subject to the national repetition rules (allowed number of repeats per year and level); the decision rests with the centre's pedagogical committee based on your status on PROGRES.

This is usually due to heavy server load in the first days of registration. Try at off-peak times (night or early morning) and don't wait for the last day.

Self-editing is usually unavailable after final saving, so contact the centre's registration office to correct the data manually, especially if the error would affect identity matching at final registration.

Usually JPEG or PNG, limited size (a few MB), clear background. If the problem persists, compress or convert the image before retrying.

You can register from a phone via the browser, but some steps (uploading documents or payment windows) may be more stable on a computer.

Yes, the only official confirmation is your request status showing on the platform itself (preinscriptions.ufc.dz), not necessarily an automatic email — track your request directly on the site.

Accepted lists (initial then catch-up) are published on preinscriptions.ufc.dz; query with your registration or bac number to see your result, specialty and centre.

Contact the centre you applied to for the reason your request isn't showing; it may be a technical error in the request or incomplete basic data.

Usually no self-editing after final submission within the same phase; any later change (e.g. centre) goes through official transfer procedures after final registration.

An expatriate can't register from abroad since payment relies on Algérie Poste's Edahabia card; authorize a resident in Algeria (by proxy) to complete payment and submission. International students register exclusively via "Study in Algeria," and foreigners residing in Algeria need prior ministry authorization.

There is generally no maximum age, one of the key advantages of this mode of training aimed at varied ages and professional situations.

Yes, this mode is designed precisely to enable that, but remains subject to any internal conditions set by the employer (sometimes an authorization from the employing administration).

Yes, like other Algerian public universities, study is free; costs are limited to the nationally set annual registration fees, with no additional tuition.

The academic calendar (start of year, in-person gatherings, exams) is announced separately via the official site and the learning platforms after registration is complete.

They are grouped sessions (intensive lectures, remote video sessions, or assessments) held periodically at the student's centre; they are generally a mandatory part of the training and tied to final assessment.

The university has an e-learning platform (Moodle); the student is given an account after final registration, and login details are communicated by the centre.

Usually yes: assessments and final exams are held in person at approved university centres, even though daily study is remote.

No, except in documented exceptional cases (e.g. change of residence) and after an official transfer to the new centre within the allowed period, or by exceptional permission from the university presidency.

UFC is part of the same baccalaureate orientation system as other universities: it appears on the general orientation platform and receives new graduates each year. It additionally uses its own registration platform (preinscriptions.ufc.dz) and a separate orientation system for holders of older baccalaureates.

There's no regulatory obstacle in principle, as long as the student meets their pedagogical obligations (gatherings and exams); the university doesn't require full-time availability.

Yes, a full list of available specialties and fields per stream is published in the "registration guide" the university issues yearly on its site just before registration opens.

Yes, each specialty and centre has a set capacity; some specialties may close early once the maximum is reached, so don't delay pre-registration.

Because the list is built automatically from your baccalaureate stream (or Bachelor's specialty); only related specialties appear. If the specialty isn't linked to your stream, it may not be available under the orientation rules.

It depends on the platform's settings each season; some years allow editing before final closure, others allow only one final request. Check for a "modify request" option in your account.

No, the old entrance exam (UFC bac) was abolished when the university adopted the LMD system by ministerial order No. 1022 of 23 October 2017, applied since 2020/2021; access now relies solely on the baccalaureate or Bachelor's.

Yes, this is one of the target groups; the university expressly allows holders of a prior degree to register for a second, provided they don't hold two pedagogical registrations in the same season. It also welcomes new or older baccalaureate holders who haven't studied elsewhere.

Submit a written complaint to the centre's administration first; if there's no response, you can escalate to the central administration in Algiers via the official email or its contact channel.

Given the many centres, the university publishes each centre's contact details (phone/email) separately on its site; contact your centre directly rather than the central administration to speed up handling.

It's the digital platform (a learning-management system) where the student follows courses, downloads materials, completes activities, and interacts remotely. An account is granted after final registration; its use is explained at the first in-person gathering, and a simple guide is available within the platform.

They are periodic exercises, research tasks, or assessments the teacher posts in each teaching unit; completing them is a core part of continuous assessment and counts toward the overall average, alongside the written exam, pedagogical follow-up, internship and dissertation (final years).

There's no fixed duration; it varies by workload and the number of students per field, and extra time may be granted to upload answers if a technical glitch prevented on-time submission.

It's an electronic procedure letting a student contest an activity's mark if they find it inconsistent with their work; it usually opens after each semester's platform results are announced, publicized in the platform's "site news" space.

The university provides an "appeal-submission guide for the learning platform" explaining the steps; its download link is published on the official site and the university's page when the appeal window opens.

Responses usually appear at the end of the post-appeal correction period; after review, the mark may rise, fall, or stay the same per the second correction — an appeal isn't always in the student's favor.

If an activity isn't fully corrected, the university extends the deadline and announces that once correction is complete, students get the needed time to appeal — no need to worry before an official announcement.

The information & communication cell sometimes publishes pass rates (10/20 and above) per field and specialty on the official site, usually before appeals affect final marks.

The unit forum is an interactive space to discuss the lesson/activity with peers and the teacher; internal messages are a direct, private channel between the student and the administration or teacher within the platform, without external email.

Submit an absence justification to the centre's administration within the legal deadlines set in the regulations, to avoid exclusion or being barred from following the unit or seeing the corrected test.

That gathering helps new students master the platform, but a detailed written and illustrated technical guide can make up for missing it — just keep following updates regularly.

Contact your centre's "listening cell" or pedagogical service immediately, to avoid losing access to lessons or missing an activity deadline because of a technical fault.

No, since these activities stand in for tutorials; late submission isn't allowed except with a valid legal excuse, because model answers are published after the deadline, and a late student with a legal excuse is given entirely different questions.

The average usually comprises: the written exam, continuous pedagogical follow-up, platform activities, an internship if any, and the end-of-training dissertation (final years); weightings vary by specialty and year and are computed by each subject's coefficient.

A specialized distance language program for medical-sciences students (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry) and veterinary sciences, aimed at strengthening their English with medical and scientific terminology alongside their core studies.

Priority goes to holders of an experimental-sciences, mathematics, or technical-mathematics baccalaureate actually oriented to health sciences. This season it was also opened to those oriented to veterinary sciences, specifically via the UFC centre at Blida 1 University.

It's an optional complementary offering alongside the core medical studies — not a substitute nor a condition for passing, but an extra opportunity to improve specialized language skills.

All health-sciences cohort students are oriented and registered via the medical faculties and their annexes on PROGRES for Medical English at UFC; the student then has two tracks (their original specialty + Medical English), without being obliged to take it — it's optional.

Per the latest announcement, it's offered across about 36 UFC centres nationwide (plus the Blida centre recently dedicated to veterinary students).

Open distance learning via the platform, with periodic digital gatherings (video-conference lectures) replacing in-person ones given the density of the health program, plus intensive lectures in some wilayas during holidays.

No, this offering is designed as a parallel complement to the core medical studies with the ministry's approval; it isn't a separate pedagogical registration conflicting with the medical enrollment.

It culminates in a Bachelor's in Medical English awarded by UFC, certifying the student followed and passed this specialized language offering, alongside their medical track.

The health-sciences student pays only the fees related to their original track.

They should contact the centre in the wilaya where their medical faculty/annex is, to ask about joining in a complementary phase or verify the priority conditions.

One doesn't affect the other; they are two distinct, independent tracks.

A national program run by the Ministry of Higher Education with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aiming to attract foreign students to study on a contractual basis in Algerian institutions via a dedicated digital platform that eases registration and follow-up.

It's exclusively for international (foreign) students wishing to study in Algeria, and is not a substitute for preinscriptions.ufc.dz meant for Algerian UFC students.

Yes, UFC is included on the "Study in Algeria" platform like the other universities.

Through the official "Study in Algeria" platform launched by the ministry, which differs from the pre-registration platform for Algerian students.

Preferably in the dedicated section on ufc.dz, or via the email/phone of the central seat in Algiers, as each institution publishes its contact details separately.

A training mode organized in response to the needs of institutions and bodies, aimed at developing employees' skills and raising their professional competence.

Public and private administrations, bodies, economic enterprises and others may request it for the benefit of their staff.

All executives and employees, at all levels and professional ranks.

Any specialties for which the university has the necessary expertise and pedagogical resources, according to the institution's needs and the proposed topic.

Yes, it can propose a topic or field suited to its needs; the request is reviewed to determine feasibility based on available resources and expertise.

The request is submitted through the channels and procedures defined by the university.

Preferably: the institution's name, the proposed topic and objectives, the target group and number of participants, and the proposed duration and period.

Yes, it can be tailored to the defined needs and objectives, after reviewing the request and coordinating between the parties.

According to the format agreed between the university and the institution.

Teachers and experts are chosen based on their specialty, competencies, and how well their experience matches the topic and target group's needs.

Participants may receive a document or certificate attesting their participation, depending on the nature of the training and its framework.

The cost is set according to the program's nature, duration, number of beneficiaries, organization mode, and associated services, per the applicable regulations.

Yes; how the session is organized and the number of groups are determined by the program and the number of beneficiaries.

By contacting the Sub-directorate for Communication and Inter-sectoral Relations.

The university uses blended learning: a mixed system combining self-paced virtual study on digital platforms with in-person gatherings.

Yes, the training is nationally unified in programs and content uploaded on the platform, and the employing institution can request the employee's transfer to study or sit exams at another centre.

The account is granted automatically to the institution once the agreement is signed and its account is activated on the mandatory-training platform, through the national centres.

Moodle provides automated digital reports precisely recording the employee's login dates, accepted administratively as valid proof of attendance.

Yes, the university updated all agreement templates to align with the new statutes and distance-training standards, in coordination with the Civil Service.

Based on the new digital and pedagogical costs (platform management, interactive content production, virtual supervision) — a considered, reduced cost compared with classic in-person training.

A blended assessment system: continuous pedagogical monitoring plus a final exam mandatorily held in person under strict supervision at the university centres.

A failing employee is given one catch-up session; if they fail again, their institution re-enrolls them in a new training session per Civil Service measures.

Yes, once results are deliberated, the employee's status (pass/fail) appears automatically at the centres.

Yes, the trainee receives an end-of-training certificate after each session, at the centre.

Yes, they can submit an idea to the student-life body for review and scheduling based on available resources.

No, UFC's distance/hybrid nature calls for activities and participation methods suited to its students.

Yes, when the activity's nature allows it; the participation method is set out in the announcement or the activity's technical sheet.

Participation or appreciation certificates may be granted depending on the activity, the organizer and the decisions in place.

By criteria such as number of participations, quality, creativity, teamwork, impact and organization; the university launched an excellence award for university activities honoring the most active, creative clubs.

No, the goal is to build a creative, engaged, active student by combining the scientific, cultural and sports dimensions and developing skills, initiative and citizenship.

A regularly enrolled student who practices sport in the university environment or regularly competes in official competitions (national, continental, international, or Olympic), in individual or team disciplines.

By registering on the cde.dz platform and choosing the training centre: University of Continuing Education.

22 training sessions as of June 2026.

Annexes of the entrepreneurship-development centre exist in every UFC centre nationwide.

Being a university student or degree holder from any institution (even an employee with a university level), the project holder being under 55; the project need not match the holder's specialty.

10 days, supervised by teachers, experts and mentors from NESDA and socio-economic partners; UFC offers evening and night sessions so employees can attend.

The training is free with no exam; the project holder receives a certificate signed by UFC and NESDA (the national entrepreneurship support and development agency).

Financial and tax benefits.

A joint research service at the university that supports holders of innovative ideas to turn them into real projects.

Two ways: under decree 1275/008 via annual registrations, or outside that framework by contacting the incubator directly.

Yes, the incubator's program uses blended learning with sessions scheduled at times suited to the working student.

A recognition by the Ministry of Start-ups that a project is innovative. Types: innovative-project label, start-up label, accelerated-enterprise label — each granted for a set period; the incubator also has its own label.

Yes, a number of UFC students from various wilayas obtained the innovative-project label after the incubator ran a dedicated training session.

The Label is the key to funding: through it, investors can invite the holder to form partnerships and open the way to launching the start-up.

Yes, the rules are flexible and allow adding several members to the project; the employed student can add other members and open the commercial register in their name.

Not directly like micro-enterprises; the student submits a full file to ANADE or seeks investors, or opens a self-entrepreneur card or a commercial register enabling revenue.

It's enough to be a student: via decree 1275/008 if a graduating student, or outside that framework if in other years.

Free trainings, project and Label support, domiciliation at the incubator with a domiciliation certificate, and an economic-enterprise certificate if a graduating student enrolled under decree 1275 as amended by 008.

Yes, the idea is protected by the Technology and Innovation Support Centre (CATI) through intellectual-property protection (trade name, trademark, etc.).

It handles students holding patents; a project may be a micro-enterprise with a patent or an innovative one with a patent, working with the entrepreneurship-development centre.

The university covers this: it signed an agreement with INAPI for industrial-property protection and is working on one with ONDA to protect applications.
