TUITION FEES
• For students in an exchange program: You have paid your tuition fee in your country before coming to France: you are exempted from paying this tuition fee to the Université Savoie Mont Blanc (except students enrolled in very specific exchange programs). If you don’t have your own European Card for Insurance Health (see p.6), you must affiliate to the French social security scheme.
• For students who are not part of an exchange program: You must pay tuition fees, as French students do. The cost depends on your study program and level. A registration in Licence for the academic year 2014/2015 amounted to 400€, including: -184€ for tuitions fees -213€ for the affiliation to the French social security scheme -16€ for an Insurance covering Civil Responsibility
THE 1ST MONTH’S EXPENSES :
• Generally, when you rent a room/flat, the owner will ask you to pay a guarantee (approximately one month’s rent). You will get it back at the end of your stay if you leave your accommodation as it was.
• Whatever the type of accommodation you are going to occupy, an INSURANCE POLICY for renting a property is obligatory to insure your accommodation in case of fire, explosion, or water damage... When you arrive in France you will be able to contact student mutual organisations such as SMERRA (www.smerra.fr/) or LMDE (www.lmde.com), that will be present at the time of your registration to the University. Cost between 30 and 100€ per year.
• Sometimes, student tenants must provide proof that their parents will stand guarantor for them.
• Depending on your accommodation, don’t forget to add: electricity, water, gas and/or Internet costs.
