The Southern Alps are a wonderful territory for experimenting with study topics such as biology, the environment, regional planning, management of small and medium-sized businesses, and sustainable tourism. Student life is focused on sports and associations.

    Housing aids

    The CAF: financial aid for housing

    The CAF offers two types of aid to student tenants, calculated according to resources and the amount of rent:

    • personalized housing assistance (APL) if you live in a subsidized housing unit (HLM or subsidized university residence),
    • the social housing allowance (ALS) for other types of housing.

    Thanks toCité'U, you can now apply for assistance online and download a CAF certificate.

    Loca Pass: help with the security deposit for a rental

    The Loca-Pass advance is a loan granted by Action Logement (formerly 1% Logement) to the tenant to finance the security deposit required by the owner (lessor). This loan is to be reimbursed without loan interest or file fees. To benefit from this loan, you must be under 30 years old or an employee or early retiree in the private sector (excluding agriculture).

    Mobili Jeune: financial aid for the rent of students on work-study programs

    Mobili-jeune is a housing subsidy that covers part of your rent during your work-study program. It is paid by Action logement. This aid is intended for young people under 30 years of age. In order to benefit from it, you must meet certain conditions, particularly in terms of resources.

    Visale guarantee: obtaining a deposit

    The Visale guarantee is a guarantee granted by Action logement to a student or a young person on a work-study program who wants to rent an apartment. In the event of unpaid rent or charges, Action logement pays the lessor the amounts due. Action logement is then reimbursed by the tenant.

    The Inter-University Service for Preventive Medicine and Health Promotion (SIUMPPS) is a free service. A team composed of secretaries, nurses and doctors and, depending on the time slot, psychologists, psychiatrists, sophrologists and dentists is at your disposal.

    The SIUMPPS can also direct you to a doctor close to where you live via RESAMU, the network of general practitioners for students at Aix-Marseille University. This network guarantees access to local care, in sector 1 and the practice of third party payment, i.e. no advance payment of the compulsory part.

    For any consultation: have your Aix-Marseille University student card, your "carte vitale" and the liaison document provided by SIUMPPS.

    Youth Health Pass

    The PASS Santé Jeunes checkbook allows you to meet with a health professional free of charge to get initial information on sexuality and contraception, to ask a professional all your questions, to have a screening test for sexually transmitted infections, and to obtain a suitable contraceptive method for at least one year. The PASS is confidential, free and can be used without your health insurance card.

    Complementary health insurance Pass

    Students with scholarships or in financial difficulty, the Southern Region gives you a helping hand to finance your complementary health insurance with the Pass Mutuelles.

    It is not compulsory for students to take out a complementary health insurance policy. While some students can still benefit from their family's health insurance, others choose not to pay the monthly cost of complementary health insurance, which often leads to a lack of care due to a lack of funds. It should be noted that the price of a complementary health insurance varies according to the profile of the insured, young or old, with existing pathologies, etc. Also, single students who receive emergency student aid can apply for complementary health aid. This aid allows them not to pay for doctor and dentist consultations, treatments, nursing care and hospitalisation costs.

     

    Situation of disability

    Aix-Marseille University's disability mission welcomes and supports students with physical, sensory or psychological disabilities, dyslexia or a long-term disabling health problem. It offers measures adapted to each student.

    To benefit from accommodations for your studies and/or exams, contact the Mission handicap of your campus as soon as possible.
