Tuition and fees owed by the student are listed under the 鈥淒ebits鈥� column of the ledger. Payments made to the student account, loan disbursements and grants are listed under 鈥淐redits.鈥� Balances with a negative sign (鈥�) in front of the overall total reflect a credit on the account.

What is an FRP?
FRP stands for Financially Responsible Person. The FRP is the individual indicated by the student who is financially responsible for a student鈥檚 university expenses. While only one email address can be used, several names can be indicated, allowing us to respond to requests from anyone listed as the FRP.聽All billing statements and email communications about payments are sent to the student鈥檚 email address and the email address listed for the FRP.

Take a look at our detailed billing statement guide to better understand its different sections.
What payment plan am I on and how do I change it?
Your payment plan was something that you determined when you entered AUP. Tuition reminders will be sent according to what payment plan you鈥檙e on. If you wish to change your payment plan, please聽sas
aup.edu (contact our office).
Why is there a hold on my student account?
Holds are applied to student accounts when a student has an outstanding obligation to AUP. Perhaps tuition is late, there鈥檚 a fee that hasn鈥檛 been paid, or you鈥檙e behind on your payment plan. These debts can be seen by checking My Billing on the Student Portal (see above聽鈥楬ow do I read my student billing statement?鈥�)
If there are no debts on your account, please refer to the hold message on the Student Portal under My Grades. If you have an outstanding obligation to an office on campus, please contact that office directly. The hold will not come off of your account until the obligation is settled.
Why can鈥檛 I see my grades?
If you can鈥檛 see your grades, you may have a hold on your account. If you have any outstanding fees to pay, you will not be able to view your grades, register for classes, obtain copies of your transcript, or receive any proof of graduation. The Registrar鈥檚 Office will not be allowed to show you your grades either. Please check your student ledger to see if you have any outstanding fees to pay, or refer to the hold message when you attempt to view your grades to know the office of origin of your hold. Once you鈥檝e paid any outstanding fees and/or settled any issues with the concerned office, you鈥檒l be able to view your grades.
How do I know a payment has been received?
All payments are credited to student accounts the business day after they are received. Check your student account (see above How do I see my student account?) and make sure to choose the appropriate semester.
What are the reasons online transactions fail?
- Insufficient funds聽鈥� In some cases, the issuing bank determines that the cardholder doesn鈥檛 have enough money to pay. In this case, the payment will be denied.
- Exceeding the single charge limit聽鈥� Some consumers have sufficient funds but are limited in how much they can spend in one transaction. If they try to make a payment that鈥檚 over that limit, the transaction can be denied. You may contact your bank to authorize the payment or try to make the payment in several smaller transactions.
- Mismatched data聽鈥� If the cardholder enters data that doesn鈥檛 match the information the issuing bank has on file; the transaction can be denied.聽
- Expired credit card聽鈥� If the consumer provides outdated information, the transaction won鈥檛 go through.
What are the benefits of paying online?
Paying online with a credit card saves time, gives you the flexibility to pay how and when desired, payment online will be applied to your account within 48 hours.
What is the relationship between The American University of Paris and AUP Housing S.A.S?
AUP Housing S.A.S is a subsidiary of the American University of Paris (AUP) operates in coordination with AUP to manage student housing for the university.
How will I know that my payment has been accepted?
After you submit your payment, you will see a payment confirmation screen. It will contain your payment confirmation message. You will also receive a confirmation email after your transaction is submitted.聽
What information do I need to make an online payment?
The only information you need to have available to complete an express payment transaction is the student ID and your credit card information.聽
Can I use a credit card or debit card to pay my bill(s)?

How do I obtain my loan refund check?
If you鈥檙e due a refund check linked to American federal loans and expecting a refund for living expenses, you can pick up your refund check at Student Accounting Services during regular office hours. We process all refund checks at the beginning of the semester.
Please note this refund is calculated using the registration load at the time the loans are credited to your student account. If you鈥檙e planning on adding a class, registering an internship, or dropping from full-time to part-time, please inform us so we may recalculate your reimbursement. You will otherwise be responsible for the payment of any subsequent charges debited to your student account.
Are late fees applied if loans are not disbursed until after classes start?
Students who receive loans to cover the聽entirety聽of their tuition and fees will not incur a charge for the late disbursement of loan money. Students whose loans do not cover the entirety of their tuition and fees must arrange to pay the balance when the tuition is due (01 July for the Fall and 15 December for the Spring semester).
How can I learn about applying for loans for US citizens?
US citizens and permanent residents聽of the US who would like to apply for a loan are encouraged to look at the AUP 国产AV pages and to consult their 国产AV Counselor.聽
If I have a credit balance how do I request a refund?
Refunds are primarily issued through checks in euros to be deposited in students鈥� French bank accounts. Please contact Student Accounting Services for additional options if a French bank account is not available. Refunds must be requested at least 2 business days before they are needed.
How can I receive a refund if I decide not to attend AUP?
