Publics concerned: actors and users of higher education.
Subject: codification of decrees governing the organization of higher teachings (book VI) and higher education institutions (book VII).
Entry into force: the text comes into force on the day after its publication.
Notice: the decree continues the codification of the nine books of the regulatory part of the Education Code, the first five books and a chapter of the ninth have already been published. Books VI and VII are the first two of the three books in the section of the code dedicated to higher education.
This codification is "in constant law" in accordance with the principles established by the Constitutional Council to ensure the legibility, understanding and accessibility of the texts. The only amendments made relate to the editorial coherence of the texts, the updating of the terms used, the harmonization of the law between several texts or between the provisions of the education code and those of other codes, the declassification of legislation in reality under the decree and the repeal of provisions that have become irrelevant. In addition, in order to ensure the regularity of the disciplinary procedure applicable to university users, pursuant to Decision No. 361614 of 17 July 2013 of the Council of State, the last five paragraphs of Article 6 of Decree No. 92-657 of 13 July 1992 concerning the disciplinary procedure in public higher education institutions under the supervision of the minister responsible for higher education were repealed. Article R. 712-14, which codifies Article 6, now allows only one professor of universities who presides over the competent disciplinary section in respect of users. Thus, the latter may designate the other professor of universities who is a member of the Disciplinary Section to serve on the board of inquiry.
The transitional provisions governing the situation of some students currently pursuing health or veterinary studies (special medical biology) or engaged in the preparation of the diploma of superior technician in medical imaging and therapeutic radiology continue to apply to them.
