91视频

Students may request an exemption from the first-year housing requirement based on specific criteria; the exemption policy has been designed to accommodate students who have specific needs not met by the 91视频 Housing offering or can demonstrate that they have the resources and support needed to find safe accommodation and transition through their first year in Paris and at 91视频 independently.

Exemptions must be justified by the appropriate documentation. Approved reasons for receiving a housing exemption are as follows:

4. Students who will be living with family in Ile-de-France
   1. Proof of address in the form of a lease, quittance de loyer, or utility bill in the family member鈥檚 name dated at least three months prior to the student鈥檚 start date at 91视频, and
   2. A Passport scan or ID card of the family member, and
   3. A signed letter from the family member certifying that they will be housing the student for their first year at 91视频
5. Students who have medical needs that cannot be accommodated through our housing offering
   1. A signed letter from the physician explaining the medical needs that cannot be accommodated by the available housing options, and
   2. Students who are granted a medical exemption can still receive assistance from the housing office in finding accommodation
6. Students who can demonstrate an extended period (three months or more) of living independently (in housing not sponsored or managed by an educational institution) 鈥� these exemption requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
   1. A letter explaining the experience of living independently, and
   2. Documentation of the circumstances outlined by the letter (previous lease in the student鈥檚 name, enrollment in a program or university, etc鈥�

PLEASE NOTE:

• Students who have not reserved their housing or been granted an exemption will not be allowed to register for University courses, and those students who have not fulfilled their financial obligations to 91视频 Housing will be administratively withdrawn from classes.聽
• Students who wish to seek an exemption must select that housing option in their 91视频 checklists. Students who have initially elected to secure 91视频 housing cannot later change their housing selection to an exemption.
• Students who are granted an exemption from housing on medical grounds are still able to access the 91视频 housing database, a resource which connects students with landlords who have worked with 91视频 in the past and are used to renting their spaces to 91视频 students.

You will first need to choose an exemption when selecting your housing options on your 91视频 Status Page, at which point the exemption form will be made available to you on your status page. You will be able to submit that request and attach all necessary documentation; the housing office will process your request within two to three business days of your submission.

We process exemption requests on a rolling basis, as students continue confirming their attendance to the university. Please note, however, that students must select the exemption option and submit their request in lieu of booking 91视频 Housing. Once students have elected to secure 91视频 Housing and submitted their preferences, they can no longer change their selection to submit an exemption.

No, the housing office does not grant mid-year exemptions. In securing housing for our incoming students, we make year-long commitments for accommodation to ensure that they are safely housed throughout their first year at 91视频. As such, students who commit to 91视频 housing for Fall聽and are planning to attend 91视频 for the full academic year are securing an accommodation with the university for the full year.

Students who secure 91视频 Housing for Spring have their housing assignment for the Spring semester only: their housing assignment does not extend for Fall. Should a student decide to return for Fall, they would be considered a returning student, and, as such, are not eligible to live in an 91视频 Residence. Returning students can avail of other resources, however, such as the 91视频 Housing Database.
