Parents & Families

WELCOME, AUP PARENTS

During your student's time at The American University of Paris, you too become a vital member of the AUP community. At AUP, we understand family members are an essential part of their student's journey, even after they have ventured far from home. As your on-campus partner, our Parent Relations Office serves as your connection to our campus in the 7th arrondissement. We foster this partnership through a variety of communications and international events and always look forward to welcoming you to our little corner of Paris.

Stay informed by signing up to receive regular parent communications, including our newsletter for parents and families, the Parent Compass, as well as important updates from campus and invitations to community events around the world.

Due to global health concerns, AUP has cancelled all face to face events for now. However, we are delighted to announce our new event series, AUP to You, a line up of virtual parent and community events led by our devoted faculty and staff members.
