The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Mali has announced that online pre-registrations for the 2026-2027 academic year will open on October 5 and close on November 8. This process is exclusively online and free of charge. Students and parents of recent high school graduates are informed that they must complete this step to access public higher education institutions. The pre-registration platform is https://portail.campusmali.edu.ml.

According to the ministry's communiqué dated September 28, the pre-registration period is set to begin on October 5 and end on November 8 at midnight. Candidates are required to complete their pre-registration on the official platform within this timeframe. The ministry emphasizes that no applications will be accepted after the deadline. This step is mandatory for accessing public higher education and is a prerequisite for further registration processes.

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research highlights that the pre-registration process is entirely free.
