How to get an accommodation in a student hall of residence?
The housing application procedure is managed by the CROUS (a state-body
managing student residences).
What’s the procedure?
1. The SERP+ office asks you to choose between different accommodation
options and informs the CROUS.
2. The CROUS contacts you by email and sends you a “Housing proposal”
(“proposition d’accueil”).
3.
• You log in to www.etudiant.gouv.fr (tab “Inscription”)
14 • Click on the tab “Vous Logez” and “CitéU”
• Accept the offer
• Pay by credit card the booking deposit
Upon reception of your housing proposal, you will only have six days to com-
plete the registration and pay the booking deposit. After this deadline,
your booking will not be guaranteed.
If you decide to reject the offer, you will have to find your own alternative
accommodation.
4. The CROUS confirms your payment and sends your accommodation num-
