Before the start of the program, the International Programs Department organizes an orientation session called  OLE ! (Organize, Learn, Enjoy !), intended for students from partner universities abroad. 

This session, which is completely free of charge, is based around an intensive French course lasting 48 hours.

Participation in the French as a foreign language course during the OLE! orientation sessions, combined with participation in the regular and compulsory French language course, enables students to earn a University Diploma in French as a Foreign Language, awarded by Montpellier III university.

Three orientation sessions are also provided in the OLE! program:

• the first has to do with the logistical and physical aspects of staying in France (residence permit, accommodation, bank account, etc.). ;

• the second deals with life inside GSCM and in particular with the Student associations.

• the third has to do with the teaching program.

In order to promote contact between students, a rally is organized in Montpellier, rounded off by a cocktail party during which prizes are presented to the winning teams.
