Parents & Families

As your child enters 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.

Parent Orientation plays an important role in welcoming you and your student into the AUP Community. From August 27-28, we will hold information sessions, guided campus tours, and a cocktail reception to welcome parents and help you get to know AUP. 

In order to register, please contact us at parents@aup.edu by August 20, 2019.

The itineraries are as follows:

Parents of AUP Freshmen, Transfer and Graduate students

Parents of Visitor, Co-op and Partner students

*Please note that we classify Freshmen as first-years who are seeking their degree at AUP. First-year students taking part in a partner program are considered Partner students.

Generous contributions from AUP donors—including alumni, parents, board members and friends of AUP—have already allowed us to enrich our academic programs, to promote the diversity of our student body and to create a contemporary, student-centered base in the 7th arrondissement.

However, we have a bold vision for 2020. AUP has launched a 26 million euro campaign to raise funds for three key areas:
