The听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral听is issued to the NON EU students听who have been issued a first request-搁茅肠茅辫颈蝉蝉茅-听搁茅肠茅辫颈蝉蝉茅 Premi猫re Demande.
This includes the NON-EU students who turned 18 and had to go through a residency application with SIS after being issued either a visa for Minor (Mineur scolaris茅) or a long stay student visa for under 18.
Same with the NON-EU students who used to hold a MAE card (diplomatic card issued by the French Foreign Affairs-听Minist猫re des Affaires Etrang猫res), had to do a residency application with SIS since they gave French Authorities their card back (because they turned 18).

In addition to the听R茅cepiss茅 Premi猫re Demande, the听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral听authorizes the NON-EU to legally return France from travelling abroad.
