Summer Housing

AUP residences are available to all students registered in AUP summer school for the duration of their summer session. The information below outlines our housing requirement, available accommodation (room type, price, commute), payment and refund policies, and the housing assignment process for Summer 2025. Please reach out to us at housingaup.edu () if you have any questions about summer housing!

HOUSING REQUIREMENT

• The university requires that all students under 18 years of age and all recent high school graduates with no previous college credits attending AUP Summer School be safely housed during their studies – as such, these students have to secure AUP housing for their summer session(s).
• Students required to secure AUP housing for the summer can apply for an exemption through their AUP status page. Exemptions must be justified with the appropriate documentation. Approved reasons for receiving a housing exemption are:
  • If you have French citizenship
    • Scan of French passport or French ID card.
  • If you live in Ile-de-France
    • Proof of housing (dated at least 3 months), and
    • If the proof of housing is in another person’s name, a scanned copy of their ID, and a letter signed by them attesting they will be housing the student for the summer.
  • If you are traveling with family members, or have a safe place to stay with a relative in Ile-de-France
    • A scan of the family member’s passport or ID card, and
    • A signed letter from the family member certifying that they will be housing the student for the duration of their summer session
• Students over 18 and with previous college credits are not required to secure AUP Housing for the summer. They may elect to register for housing in an AUP residence, or seek housing independently.
• Please note that AUP housing services are available to registered summer students only.

Located in the pleasant and residential 16th arrondissement, the Musset Residence has mostly single apartments (for one student), and three twin shared apartments (for two students). The residence also houses an AUP Resident Advisor who can help summer students make the most of their AUP and Paris experience. Students will benefit from a small common courtyard where they can study together on sunny days.

Please note that the Musset studios cannot be reserved by high school students or recent high school graduates (without college experience) in Summer Session II.

AUP Jouffroy D’Abbans is a newly renovated residence in the 17th arrondissement, and has been fitted for a single and co-living experience supported by 2 Resident Advisors. The residence, comprised of two buildings connected by a small shared courtyard, will have a few single studios (for one student) and co-living apartments (for two, three, four, or five students.) 

Single studios have a bedroom area, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a bathroom. Co-living apartments have bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchens. The co-living options available to students assigned to AUP Jouffroy include 2-person (one double), 3-person (one double and one single), 4-person (two doubles) and 5-person (two doubles and one single) spacious apartments.

Jouffroy is open to all summer students – its shared apartments are a particularly good fit for high school students who want a supportive community for their abroad experience, or college students who enjoy sharing a living space with peers!

Please note that as these are shared apartments, availability of single and double rooms will fluctuate throughout the year based on apartment reservations and occupancy – our priority will be to ensure apartments are full to guarantee the best co-living experience.

ROOMMATE AND HOUSEMATE ASSIGNMENTS

Students who register for shared housing, whether in a double studio in Musset, or a single or a shared room in a Jouffroy apartment, can be assigned a roommate through two different ways:

1. Roommate Request: if you know someone also attending the same summer session, you will be able to request them as a roommate in your housing preferences form on your AUP status page. Students are guaranteed to room with their requested roommate provided that they both request each other, and are assigned to the same room type in the same residence (please note that we do not have mixed gender assignments in AUP housing).
2. Roommate Survey Pairing: if you do not have a requested roommate but are assigned to a shared housing option, you will be sent a roommate and housemate preference survey to fill out ahead of move-in. The housing office will match roommates and housemates based on their stated preferences on the survey. Students will be sent their roommate/housemate assignment ahead of move-in.

SHARED HOUSING GENDER POLICY

Our 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 having inclusive housing for our LGBTQA+ students, including those who identify as transgender, gender non-binary or gender-fluid, but as we are still building our roster of AUP-managed residences where we have more control, we are not yet able to accommodate these students in shared housing options. Students who identify as gender non-binary or gender-fluid will have access to single studios - we are able to prioritize their housing assignment to ensure that 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.

PRICING:

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT PROCESS

• The housing office will be processing summer housing requests on the first week of each month – students will receive a confirmation email of their housing assignment at that time listing their housing charges and the deadline for the confirmation payment.
• Payments will be due for the full housing charges by the end of the month upon students receiving their assignment.
  • Please note that part of the payment (20% of the semester rent) is a non-refundable deposit to confirm housing.
• Should students not confirm their reservation via payment by the end of the month, their housing reservation will be cancelled, and the assigned room will be made available again to incoming students registering for housing. They will have to resubmit a housing form based on updated availability.

REFUND POLICIES

Students who cancel their AUP Housing will be fully or partially refunded according to the following schedule:

• Session I and 6-WK arrivals (June 2 arrivals)
  • 20% of the semester rent is non-refundable
  • 80% of the semester rent is refundable for cancellations before May 1st
  • 50% of the semester rent is refundable for cancellations before May 27th
  • No refund after May 27th
• Session II Arrivals (June 30 arrivals)
  • 20% of the semester rent is non-refundable
  • 80% of the semester rent is refundable for cancellations before June 1st
  • 50% of the semester rent is refundable for cancellations before June 24th
  • No refund after June 24th

The security deposit is refundable upon successful move-out, provided there are no damages to the student’s room/apartment. Please note that it may take up to 2 months to process the return of the security deposit to the student account after departure, at which point students can process those credits to personal accounts.

HOW TO REGISTER?

Housing registration is one of the steps you will have to complete in your AUP status page:

• Step 1: Students select a housing option on their status page (booking AUP housing, submitting an exemption, or seeking housing independently).
• Step 2: Students submit their ranked housing preferences – please note that submitting the housing preference form is not a confirmation of housing.
• Step 3: Students receive a housing assignment based on their preferences and remaining availability.
• Step 4: Students confirm their housing reservation via payment by the deadline stated in their assignment email (or before move-in for late registrations close to landing day).
• Step 5: Students receive roommate/housemate assignments and landing day information shortly before move-in.
