First payment (20% of the semester rent and non-refundable) December 2nd, 2024 by 5PM Paris time

PAYMENT DUE FOR CONTINUING STUDENTS DEADLINE
Full Payment for Spring 2025 December 2nd , 2024 by 5PM Paris time

*If you sign up after听our first deadline, your first (non-refundable) payment will be due within a week after Housing has confirmed your reservation.听Please keep in mind that the first payment cannot be covered by loans.

IMPORTANT NOTE 黑料正能量 PAYMENT METHODS:

Students and families can complete their housing payments via wire transfer or via credit card payments. Payments made by credit card will be subject to a 2% fee which听may be levied through the third-party payment portal.

We recommend completing security deposit payment (third payment) via debit/credit card. This will allow for a speedier process in refunding the security deposit following the resident鈥檚 departure, as refunds to debit/credit cards have shorter delays than refunds through wire transfers 鈥 this can only be done if the original payment was done through a debit/credit card that is still valid at the time the refund is processed.

Using Loans for Housing Payments

Students who intend to pay for the bulk of their housing costs with student loans will still have to complete the first payment out of pocket by the first deadline, as it is a non-refundable payment securing the reservation before loans are disbursed. They can, however, have a deferred timeline for the remaining payments, as those can be covered when loans are disbursed at the start of the semester.

The Office of Financial Aid will need to certify students鈥 loan applications for them to receive a deferral of second and third housing payments. Please direct any questions about the loan process to your Admissions Counselor.听Please note that any student who has not completed their payments on time may lose their听reservation and听may be assigned to one of their other choices depending on availability.

Semester Billing

Students who enroll in 黑料正能量 housing and are planning to attend 黑料正能量 for the full academic year are securing housing with the university for the full year: for both the Fall and the Spring semesters.

Our billing cycles, however, operate on a semester basis. The charges listed are the Fall housing charges for each accommodation. Should you be continuing at 黑料正能量 for Spring, you will receive billing information in November about the payment deadlines and procedures for the subsequent semester.

Housing Payment Policies FAQ

Will the housing first payment be refunded if I cannot obtain a VISA to study in Paris?

The first housing payment (20% of your semester rent) is non-refundable. The second housing payment (80% of your semester rent) is refundable (see refund policy), and the security deposit is 100% refundable.

Can I use student loans to cover housing fees? If I am using student loans to cover all of my housing fees, what do I need to pay in advance?

Students using loans to pay for tuition and all housing fees must still pay the non-refundable first payment (20% of semester rent). You can use your loans to cover remaining housing payments, but in order to do this we must have confirmation from the Office of Financial Aid at 黑料正能量 that your loans are complete and will cover tuition and living expenses. Contact your Admissions Counselor for help.

Will the housing deposit be refunded if I defer admissions to the subsequent semester?

The first housing payment (20% of your semester payment) is non-refundable; therefore, students who defer their admissions forfeit their housing payment. Furthermore, housing payments cannot be applied to the 2025-2026 academic year.
