French Social Security |
|
|
|
 Students
are registered with French Social Security at
Orientation and receive a Carte Vitale during
their first semester. French Social Security
is a prerequisite for medical coverage and
allows students to more fully integrate into
French society. With a social security number,
for example, international students can work
up to 884 hours a year, the equivalent of
half-time employment (19.5 hours per week)
during the academic year and full-time
employment during the summer. |

Health Care and Medical
Practitioners |
|
|
|
 Beyond
French Social Security, the University has
contracted with the Axa Group to cover many
important costs other student health care
plans in France do not, including
reimbursement for all of the following (and
more): eye glasses and contact lenses,
preventive dental treatment, alternative
medicine such as chiropractic care, doctors
who make house calls (SOS Médecins) and up to
fifteen sessions a semester with a
psychologist. |
| |
|
The University has developed a close working
relationship with a network of
English-language general practitioners and
specialists in Paris. All of these
professionals know the AUP community and work
with our students throughout the year. AUP
negotiates competitive, excellent health
coverage for students and is able to guide
students with sometimes complicated insurance
questions. |

Office of Student Affairs

Counseling |
|
|
|
 Sometimes
students just need a friendly ear to get
something off their mind or to help them make
an important decision. Sometimes the semester
gets off to a good start and then an
unexpected crisis complicates things. Whatever
the situation, a team of counselors is
available to meet with AUP students throughout
the semester.
In-house guidance counselors are
located in the Office of Student Affairs and
are available for drop-in visits every day. An
off-campus professional also meets with
students throughout the week for issues that
range from depression and cultural shock to
substance abuse and eating disorders.
The
counseling support AUP provides empowers
students to overcome hurdles, manage stress,
and achieve academic success. |

Workshops and Resources |
|
|
|
 Student Affairs develops a host of workshops
and resources at
Orientation
and throughout the semester to help educate
students about health and wellness issues.
Recent topics covered include safety in Paris, body image,
HIV-AIDS awareness, and how to get organized.
Many of these resources are now regrouped for
easy access on the University intranet system MyAUP.
