Supporting documents (CV, cover letter, etc.) have not been uploaded.

Please ensure that your documents are all in .pdf format

The system may have rejected your documents because they were too large.

I have uploaded a bad file, I want to replace it.

You can delete the document by returning to your application using the login and password you received by email. 

Recommendation letter

Is it possible to submit more than one letter of recommendation??

Once you have validated your application, you will receive a confirmation email. In this email, you will find a link that you can forward to other teachers so that they can upload their own recommendation letter.

My recommender has not received the email to download a letter of recommendation. What should I do ?

When you complete your application, emails are automatically sent to your teachers. If one of your teachers has not received this email, you just have to give him/her the link in the confirmation email you received when you registered. This will allow them to upload their document directly into your file.
The FSMP is not able to contact your teachers.

Is it possible to send letters of recommendation after the application deadline?

Yes, as indicated on the tender page, recommenders have 2 days more than candidates to upload letters of recommendation.

How to check that my teachers have submitted their letters of recommendation ?

Your entire file can be consulted online with the login and password you received when you registered. However, you do not have the possibility to read or delete the letters of recommendation.
