Catalog 2006-07 UNIVERSITY GRANTS,LOANS AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT UNIVERSITY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The University provides a limited program of tuition assistance in the form of academic scholarships as well as tuition reduction grants based on both a student's academic strength and family financial circumstances. Academic scholarships are awarded as follows: €3,000 per year for: IB Diploma results of 34 and above French Bac results of 14 and above GPA (or equivalent) of 3.75 and above €2,000 per year for: IB Diploma results of 30-33 French Bac results of 13-13.9 GPA (or equivalent) of 3.50-3.74 €1,000 per year for: IB Diploma results of 28-29 French Bac results of 12-12.9 GPA (or equivalent) of 3.25-3.49 New students' application for admission, as well as the financial information they supply with the application for financial aid, will determine the amount of University assistance offered. Financial aid procedures are as follows: ■ Students must reapply for financial assistance each year. ■ The average award is 1/3 of tuition. The maximum offered is 1/2 of tuition (including an academic scholarship). ■ Full tuition grants are not offered. ■ Only full-time degree-seeking students registered for at least 12 credits per semester are eligible for University funds, unless they are in their final semester of studies. ■ To request financial assistance, current AUP students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Students who have received University funds must maintain a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA (3.0 cumulative GPA for academic scholarships) while enrolled. U.S.-BASED LOANS AND GRANTS Certification of loan eligibility by the Student Finance Center does not guarantee the loan. If a family applies for a loan sufficient to pay the entire semester's tuition and fees, and the loan has not been approved at the time of registration, a minimum payment equivalent to the first monthly payment (under the monthly payment plan) must be paid to the Bursar's Office for the student to be allowed to register. Student loans are made available by banks in the United States. Students may use their own lender or the University lender. Although U.S. citizens may participate in the Federal Student Loan Program (Stafford and PLUS), U.S. students are not currently eligible for receiving Pell Grants, Perkins Loans, Federal Work Study or FSEOGs for study outside of the U.S. Visiting students from the U.S. may qualify for loans or other forms of financial aid through their home institutions. OTHER LOAN AND SCHOLARSHIP OPTIONS Students of other nationalities may be eligible for special loan or scholarship programs available to them through their national loan agencies. The University also works with an international loan program that offers loans to all nationalities, including U.S. citizens; however, a U.S. citizen co-signer is required. WORKING IN FRANCE Only students who are nationals of European Union member countries (not including new EU countries as of May 2004 - with the exception of Malta and Cyprus) or the European Economic Area, or who already possess working permits, have the right to work in France. Others should not expect to obtain a work authorization that allows them access to employment. However, citizens of some countries may benefit from special working privileges extended by the French government. For more information, contact your local French Consulate. All citizens and resident aliens of the United States who are enrolled and degree-seeking at the University may be eligible to participate in the Stafford Loan Program. Parents and independent students may borrow through the PLUS and unsubsidized Stafford Loan Programs respectively. 6
Catalog 2006-07 COSTS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION For information on the current year's tuition and fees, please refer to the Tuition Charges and Academic Fees insert or contact the Bursar's Office. TUITION Full-time Tuition Fee Full-time tuition covers basic tuition for five courses per semester. Credits taken beyond this normal course load will be charged at the part-time rate per credit hour. One-credit courses may be taken as a sixth course without an overload fee; only one of these options may be taken per semester. The following student services are also covered by full-time tuition: ■ Student Activities ■ Academic Support Services ■ Housing Service Part-time Tuition Fee Part-time students' tuition is determined on a per-credit basis. Auditor Fee Auditors pay a reduced fee determined on a per-credit basis. OTHER REQUIRED PAYMENTS Application Fee The non-refundable Application Fee must be sent with the Application Form. For more information, consult the AUP Web site. Confirmation Deposit Upon acceptance by the University, new students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit that is credited toward the first semester's tuition. If students confirm and then fail to register for the semester for which they have reserved a place, the deposit is forfeited. New students will receive invoices once they pay the confirmation deposit and submit the Bursar's Payment Option Form. The confirmation deposit will be deducted from the refunds of new students who withdraw during the full-refund period. Orientation and Advising Fee The Orientation fee covers all activities that occur during the Orientation Program of a student's first semester including academic advising, course registration, workshops, cultural activities, materials, and temporary housing during Orientation. Health Insurance The University is legally responsible for ensuring that all full-time students have adequate health insurance coverage. Students are automatically enrolled in, and billed for, the comprehensive and mandatory plan arranged for by the University unless the student can provide one of the following to the Bursar's Office at the start of the semester: ■ a valid certificate attesting to the fact that the French resident has French Sécurité Sociale (Please note that the University is not affiliated with the French Sécurité Sociale.) ■ a complete and translated E111 or E128 form (available to residents of European Union countries) ■ certified proof of private comprehensive health insurance coverage valid in France, which includes medical coverage equivalent to AUP's Student Health Care Plan A photocopy of the appropriate documents or a letter from the insurance company should be submitted to the Bursar's Office in English or French. Students applying for a Carte de Séjour must submit the original document or a certified translation of the document into French. The document should include the name of the student, the dates of coverage, and a description of the coverage for outpatient and hospital care. The appropriate documents must be submitted to the Bursar prior to registration; no exceptions will be made. Documents received after this date will not be accepted, and students will be charged the full price for health insurance. Health insurance is automatically renewed from semester to semester unless a valid exemption is provided at the beginning of the semester. If a student's health insurance changes during the course of study at AUP, they are responsible for notifying the Bursar about such a change. Housing Insurance French law requires that all renters have housing insurance. Students housed through the Housing Office are automatically billed for renter's insurance; other students may request this insurance as well. Housing insurance is automatically renewed each semester, unless an exemption request form is submitted to the Bursar's Office at the beginning of the semester. Overdue, or Lost, or Damaged Library Materials Students are responsible for library materials borrowed against their AUP student identification card. Fees are charged for damaged, lost or unreturned materials at the end of each semester. Unpaid overdue fines block further loans; fines of 15 euros and over will be billed by the Bursar's Office. Further details regarding these fines are available through the University Library. 7
