Since French law requires that all students studying in France have adequate health insurance coverage, all students at AUP are automatically enrolled in the AUP health insurance plan at the beginning of each semester. Only those students that submit a private health insurance plan which has been approved by the Bursar's Office, or proof of French or European social security coverage, may be exempted from the AUP plan.

To be exempted, the student must provide one of the following to the Bursar's Office at the start of the semester:

   A valid French Carte de Sécurité Sociale for qualifying French residents. Please note that the University is not affiliated with the French Sécurité Sociale;

   A completed E111 or E128 form (available to residents of European Union countries);

   A certified proof of private comprehensive health insurance coverage valid in France that includes medical coverage equivalent to AUP's Student Health Care Plan.  A signed Health Insurance Certificate by the representative of the health insurance provider and the Financially Responsible Person should be submitted to the Bursar’s office.      

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 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.

Please read the health insurance documentation carefully or call the Bursar's Office for more information.
