CROUS social service: an alternative to the onventional process

If you are a student and have not received any housing or grant through the usual procedure, you can request CROUS social service to examine your application to see if you are eligible for “temporary aid”.

To open an application, you must provide proof demonstrating any challenges faced with finding a place to live, eating or having the appropriate supplies needed for studying, getting health-related support, etc.
Booking an appointment is required.

A social assistant at CROUS social service will analyze the application. An evaluation committee will then decide whether or not to grant temporary aid.
Requests can be made all year round, multiple times a year. Documentation proving your difficult living situation will be required each time.
