Créteil-Université station (French pronunciation: [kʁetɛj ynivɛʁsite]) is an at-grade station on Line 8 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Créteil. It is located in the middle of the Route départementale 1 (RD 1). Its name refers to the nearby Paris-East Créteil University.
History
The station opened on 10 September 1974 as part of the line's extension from Créteil-L'Échat to Créteil-Préfecture. It owes its name to its location in the municipal territory of Créteil as well as to its proximity to the headquarters and main site of the Paris-East Créteil University (UPEC), a French multidisciplinary institution also known as Paris XII.

Platforms
Créteil-Université is an elevated station with a particular configuration. It has a central platform framed by the two tracks of the metro. This platform is equipped with Akiko style seats in blue, replacing Motte seats in the same shade; the name of the station is inscribed in Parisine font on suspended backlit panels. The metal advertising frames were moved to the limits of the line's rights-of-way, the width of which made it possible to build an additional track and platform.
The access corridors to the platform are decorated with light ochre-coloured tiles that can also be found on the platforms of the stations established on the territory of the neighbouring municipality of Maisons-Alfort (École vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort, Maisons-Alfort-Stade and Maisons-Alfort-Les Juilliottes), except that they have several different shades of ochre in the latter and not only the lightest shade.
