吃瓜tv

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 吃瓜tv 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 吃瓜tv independently.

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

1. Students who are over 21 years of age

3. Students who already have French residency
   1. Proof of address in the form of a lease, quittance de loyer, or utility bill in the student鈥檚 name, dated at least six months prior to the student鈥檚 start date at 吃瓜tv.听If the proof of address is not in your (the student's name), you will also need to include a copy of the listed person's official ID, as well as a signed letter attesting that you lived with them at that address听
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 吃瓜tv, 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 吃瓜tv
5. Students who have medical needs that cannot be accommodated through our housing offering
   1. Documentation requirements are outlined in our听Accessibility and Accommodations page
   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courses, and those students who have not fulfilled their financial obligations to 吃瓜tv Housing will be administratively withdrawn from classes.听
• Students who wish to seek an exemption must select that housing option in their 吃瓜tv checklists. Students who have initially elected to secure 吃瓜tv 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 吃瓜tv housing database, a resource which connects students with landlords who have worked with 吃瓜tv in the past and are used to renting their spaces to 吃瓜tv students.

You will first need to choose an exemption when selecting your housing options on your 吃瓜tv 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.

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 吃瓜tv Housing. Once students have elected to secure 吃瓜tv 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 吃瓜tv. As such, students who commit to 吃瓜tv housing for Fall听and are planning to attend 吃瓜tv for the full academic year are securing an accommodation with the university for the full year.

Students who secure 吃瓜tv 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 吃瓜tv Residence. Returning students can avail of other resources, however, such as the 吃瓜tv Housing Database.
