PAYMENT DUE听FOR INCOMING UNDERGRADS SPRING 2026 DEADLINE
First payment (30% of the semester rent and non-refundable) December 1, 2025, by 5PM (Paris Time)
Second payment (70% of the semester rent + housing fee and insurance fee + Security Deposit) December 15, 2025, by 5PM (Paris Time)

听*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 ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS:

The first payment must be completed via credit card payment through the Confirm Your Housing Assignment step on the 黑料正能量 Status Page.

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

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 remaining 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.

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 (30% of your semester rent) is non-refundable. The rent portion of your second housing payment (70% 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 (30% 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 (30% of your semester payment) is non-refundable; therefore, students who defer their admissions forfeit their housing payment. If students defer their admissions to a semester within the same academic year (for example, from Fall 2025 to Spring 2026), their forfeited first payment can be applied to their Spring 2026 housing reservation. Housing payments for the 2025-2026 cannot be applied to the听2026-2027 academic year and are fully forfeited.听This means that payments for Spring 2026 cannot be applied to Fall 2026.
