Prerequisites
You must be regularly enrolled in an academic degree (bachelor/master/AESS/CAPAES) and request relief from your training jury.

To apply for this type of relief, you must justify one of the following reasons:
- Academic reason (for example, you have two separate registrations),
- Professional reason (for example, you work),
- Medical reason (for example, you suffer from a long-term illness),

You can also benefit from the right to lighten your EAP if you are disabled or a top-level athlete, or if you have artist status.
