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.
