To choose your housing, you will follow this simple process:泭
Housing assignments at 91勛圖厙are processed on a first-come-first-served basis. This means that when the Indicate your Housing Preferences form opens on the 91勛圖厙Status Page, students will be able to submit their preferences and the housing office will process them one by one based on time stamp. The form will open on the following dates:
Student | Date |
First-year students (degree-seeking, visiting, or gap year) required to enroll in 91勛圖厙Housing | May 21st, 2024 at 4PM Paris Time (10am Eastern, 7am Pacific) |
Transfer and visiting students with previous college experience not required to enroll in 91勛圖厙Housing | May 23rd, 2024 at 4PM Paris Time (10am Eastern, 7am Pacific) |
This can be a competitive process: in previous years, the housing office has received over 200 submissions in the first 5 minutes of the form opening. This is why we strongly recommend going into the housing assignment process with an open mind, and with a flexible selection of preferred housing.
Please do note that the housing preference form allows you to indicate preferences, not to select a specific housing. While we would love to, ideally, place all of our students in their first choice, we receive many submissions in a very short period of time, and beds in all residences are limited. We may not be able to place you in your first or second choice in some cases, all the preferences of a specific submission may be booked by the time we process the students form. Should that be the case, we will contact the student for new preferences based on updated availability.
If you know someone also attending 91勛圖厙starting Fall 2024泭with whom you wish to share a room, you will be able to request them as a roommate in your housing preferences form on your 91勛圖厙status page. Students are guaranteed to room with their requested roommate provided that they a) both request each other and b) both submit the same shared housing preferences in the exact same order on their form. If a student has requested a roommate, we will check their requested roommates preference form: so long as they have also requested the other student and listed the same preferences, they will be pulled into their requested roommates room regardless of submission order.
It is important to note when two students request each other as roommates for a shared assignment, we do not assign either of them to the residence if only one spot remains available in that option we automatically move to the next preference in their form that would accommodate both of them. Should you wish to prioritize your residence preference over your roommate request (meaning you wish to be assigned to the residence even if the roommate request cannot be honored), you should indicate this in the comment section of your housing preference form.
If you do not already have a roommate in mind but would still like to register for shared housing, do not worry: we will be sending a roommate and housemate preferences survey in the summer, after registrations have been finalized, to match students in shared housing based on their living habits and preferences!
If you have medical needs that require a specific type of accommodation within our housing offering, we encourage you to submit a medical exemption request this will excuse you from the housing requirement while providing you access to housing assistance through the database. Medical exemptions cannot be granted retrospectively after 91勛圖厙housing is assigned.
Our 91勛圖厙Tisserand residence includes one gender-inclusive apartment; students will be assigned to this apartment without consideration for sex or gender identities. This apartment includes single rooms with private en-suite bathrooms, and a shared kitchen and living room space. Students will be able to indicate on their preference form whether they would like to request the gender-inclusive apartment priority will be given to our gender non-binary and transgender students for assignment to the gender-inclusive apartment in 91勛圖厙Tisserand.泭This option is available to all students, whether they are attending 91勛圖厙for the Fall semester only, or for the full academic year.
Our Cambronne partner residence is comprised of homes with single rooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom, and will also be open to mix gender and sex assignments in units. This option, however, is only available to full-year students.
Our remaining shared housing, whether in twin studios or single and double rooms in shared apartments, does not allow for mixed sex and gender allocations. We are working on expanding our inclusive housing offering for our LGBTQA+ students, including those who identify as gender non-binary or gender-fluid, as we continue building our roster of AUP-managed residences.
Students identifying as gender non-binary, gender-fluid, or transgender will have access to single studios should they not wish to list 91勛圖厙Tisserand as a preference, or should the apartment no longer be available through the assignment process. We are able to prioritize their housing assignment to ensure they are placed within those options, especially as we want to make sure that they feel safe in their housing; this is why students can indicate their gender identity in their housing preference form.
Accessible accommodation is available in select 91勛圖厙residences and Partner residences. Students who need accessible housing should contact the housing office directly at housingaup.edu before submitting their preferences. We will work with them to ensure that they are placed in housing that best suits their needs.
Yes, you are able to choose different housing options within the same location for your first or second choice. 泭
Yes. Due to the high number of submissions our office receives upon opening the registration form, we might not be able to process some of the last submissions in the first round due to some housing options being filled. If that is the case for you, we will email you to invite you to submit new preferences based on remaining availabilities.
If you are confident that you know a fellow incoming student with whom your living preferences and habits are compatible, you can definitely request them as a roommate in your housing preference form. We do urge you to be careful and to thoroughly discuss your living preferences before requesting anyone as a roommate: great friends do not always make great roommates. In considering roommate requests with other incoming students, make sure to discuss the following topics: budget and the preferences you both wish to select in your forms, study and sleeping habits, tidiness and weekly chores, personal values, and social habits.
Unfortunately, we are not able to switch housing assignments once they have been issued to students. Please do note that, if you have received your third or fourth preference, this means that your top ranked preferences were filled by the time we processed your submission. This means that they were already assigned to other students, and that we would not be able to switch you to them after assignments have been issued.
Unfortunately, we are not able to hold waitlists in our housing assignment process. We do issue cancellations of housing assignments should students fail to confirm their registration through the first payment. As such, should you wish to try your luck again through the assignment round, you would simply not complete your first payment, and resubmit preferences based on the updated availabilities following our first payment deadline. Do note that, should you seek that alternative, there is no guarantee that you will be assigned to your desired housing option it is also possible that your initial housing assignment is no longer available when your reassignment form is processed.
