• pay the tax of CVEC online by bank card on CROUS platform in Versailles that oversees ESSEC Business School. Enter the name of the city where ESSEC is, that is "CERGY". The amount to pay is 105€ for the 2025/2026 school year. 
• if you are in a case of fee waiver, you won't have to pay. 
• The system asks your for an INE number. You can leave the field blank. You will then have to confirm that you do not have an INE number. Once you have done that, the platform will assign a unique identification number for you.
• in either situation, payment or not, you'll get a certificate which will show your name, the attestation number at the top, the INE number.
