How to Apply to Nantes University

It's been two days and I have gotten no reply from anyone on this site.

Since the post, I have e-mailed Nantes University and was responded with certain steps that I need to take in order to become a student in Nantes.

Have a good day.

Hi Andrea,

Sorry about that, but not many students on the website. To study in France, applications are processed by Campus France https://www.usa.campusfrance.org/

You need to create an account on the website and fill in the information (grades french equivalence, university you are interested in, name, ad, field of study, semester etc....) required so that to create a "dossier de pré inscription" which will be sent online to the university/universities you have chosen. Following that, they will either accept or reject your application.

Once your application is accepted, you may carry on with visa application 

Do you already have a certificate of equivalence for your qualification and a french language proficiency test results  ? Most probably, they do it at Campus France

It's fine. Thank you for replying. I will definitely submit an application through the CampusFrance website; however, do I first need to obtain my Associate's degree before doing so? Or can I go ahead and apply through the CampusFrance website? I'll have my Associate's in May.

Though I plan on getting married (not sure when or what day exactly) would I still be on a student visa? If I obtain a student visa, can I still get married on that visa? Basically, my whole goal is to be able to stay in France for more than just a semester or two. I don't want to leave my fiance again.

I currently do not have any certificate of equivalence and I haven't done my proficiency test either. I'm just starting to learn. I know a bit, but not enough to be comfortable in a conversational level. I plan to use this year to study as much as I can so that when it comes time to take my proficiency test I won't be so anxious or unprepared. I have contacted Nantes University and talked with someone from Administration as well as an English teacher at Nantes about enrolling, and they both encouraged me to take my first semester full-time (18 hours a week) for an intensive French language course before I take my proficiency test so that I can take courses in French, because not every course is offered in English to accommodate me.

Thank you for your help. It's greatly appreciated.
