This status applies to you if this is your first year of university, whether you are planning to study at 91³Ô¹ÏÍøfor the duration of your degree or you are visiting for your first semester or year of college.

This status applies to you if this is not your first year of university and you are attending 91³Ô¹ÏÍøthrough a partnership program with your home university.
* Some programs require their students to stay in 91³Ô¹ÏÍøHousing (such as GWU, Denison, and Rollins) – be sure to check with your home institution and your 91³Ô¹ÏÍøadmissions counselor for program-specific information.
The residency requirement for incoming students is in place to ensure both your wellbeing and a successful transition to life in Paris and at AUP, as well as to afford you a sense of community through living with your peers. We either list AUP-run residences, where we have resident advisors working for us on site, or partner residences with whom we have a collaborative working relationship. We are committed to supporting you as fully as possible during your first year in Paris – an important transitional year, especially for those of you who are living abroad or leaving home for the first time.
Our housing offer for incoming students varies from semester to semester. The Housing Office works closely with the Admissions team to inform incoming students of the semester’s housing options and registration process before the start of housing assignments.

Students may request an exemption from the first-year housing requirement based on specific criteria; the exemption policy has been designed to accommodate students whose specific needs are not met by the 91³Ô¹ÏÍøHousing offering, or who can demonstrate that they have the resources and support needed to find safe accommodation and independently transition to their first year in Paris and at AUP.
Exemptions must be justified with the appropriate documentation. Approved reasons for receiving a housing exemption are:
This status applies to you if you are a returning undergraduate 91³Ô¹ÏÍøstudent (a returning student is a student that has been at 91³Ô¹ÏÍøfor both Fall and Spring semesters if they entered in Fall, or just Spring semester if they entered in Spring) or if you are enrolled in a graduate program.

Returning and graduate students can either seek housing independently from the University or use our 91³Ô¹ÏÍøHousing Database to take advantage of our network of landlords and listings. The Housing Office serves as an intermediary throughout the database search: we connect students to landlords, guide them through setting up an agreement, and continue providing support during the rental process. Please be sure to review our Housing Database page for detailed information about the rules and regulations of the database and the search process.
Returning students can use the database at any time of year, though availability will shift throughout the semester.
Graduate students can indicate on their 91³Ô¹ÏÍøstatus page whether they will be seeking housing independently, or whether they wish to use the 91³Ô¹ÏÍøHousing Database. The Housing Office works with the Admissions team to organize a housing informational session for graduate students before the start of the database search.
