    FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL REGULATIONS

     

     

               

    Welcome to the American University in Cairo!  You are about to begin one of your most exciting and challenging life experiences. During your stay in Cairo, you will be in an environment of different cultures, new people, new events, and new ideas; we strongly recommend that International students reserve housing for the first semester. Living in a student residence Hall makes it easy to meet new people, and adapt to a new environment. Egyptian students from other cities or whose parents live abroad and international students from around the world choose to live in student residences where they engage in an active social and educational program.

    The American University in Cairo, which will open its brand new university campus in New Cairo beginning fall semester 2008, offers two excellent residence facilities for students.  The first is the Zamalek Residence located in one of downtown Cairo’s most popular residential districts – Zamalek, and a brand new student residence facility located in AUC’s New Cairo campus.

    Detailed information regarding Student Housing can be found on our website:

    1.                  In your internet browser type the following url: www.aucegypt.edu

    2.                  Go to “Student Life” ŕ “Residential Life”

    The following policies are for academic year 2008-2009 and supersede all previous announcements regarding services, payment, refund policy, and rules and regulations. Please read these regulations carefully before confirming your request to reserve space in Student Housing. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I.                   APPLICATION PROCESS

    The Office of Residential Life begins accepting online application based on the dates posted on the website.

    1.      Housing assignments are made based on the date and time you submit your online housing application-contract together with the $300 housing deposit and $25 non-refundable application fee.

    2.      Upon submission of the application form an email is sent confirming the Office of Residential Life’s receipt of your application, reservation fee and deposit.

    3.      Preferences are taken into consideration but are NOT GUARANTEED. The Office of Residential Life reserves the right to assign students to different residences/rooms according to availability.

     

    II.                COSTS, OCCUPANCY DATES AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE

    The online application is only available to students who have been accepted academically to the American University in Cairo. Students applying for student housing will be required to pay $325 using the E-PAY service. Housing is assigned on a first-paid, first-served basis

    Application Fee

    The $25 application fee is a non-refundable processing fee.

    Housing Deposit

    A housing deposit of $300 is held against damages and any unpaid fees but is refundable at the end of the student’s stay in the residence. If a student is on the waitlist and space does not become available, the deposit will be refunded.

    *Note: Students in the Arabic Language Institute program will be prorated from the 24th of July 2009 till the 28th of July 2009.

    Additional residence days before or after the official dates of occupancy will be charged at a per diem rate of $30 and are subject to space availability and prior approval form the Office of Residential Life.

     

     

    Residence Fees

    Students applying for three-week summer sessions or special programs will be prorated for the period of stay.

    Withdrawals and Refunds

    ·        Students wishing to cancel or withdraw from AUC Housing must submit their request in writing. This request may be made to the Office of Residential Life at reslife@aucegypt.edu. Only the date of the received request will be honored.

    ·        All refunds are issued after the drop and add period (first week of classes) each academic term.

    ·        Students attending the winter session will forfeit the full fees on the first day of classes.

    Withdrawing from AUC housing (after submission of a housing application) carries a financial penalty. Please see the table below for the amounts that would be forfeited and the corresponding date if a withdrawal request is received:

     

     

    III.             RULES AND REGULATIONS

    The Office of Residential Life strives to create an environment conducive to learning and personal growth.  We nurture this environment through encouragement of respect for the rights of the individual balanced against the rights and interests of the whole residential community. This is a challenging task given the diversity of residents. All residents and visitors must conduct themselves in accordance with Egyptian culture and in a manner not offensive to other people’s feelings and conducive to communal living.

    We expect that all members of the residence community demonstrate respect and consideration for others and abide by the following rules and regulations:

    1.                  The Office of Residential Life, in the interest of the safety and welfare of student residents, reserves the right to enter a room for any emergency or routine inspection and confiscate items which are found to be in violation of residence and/or university rules and regulations (with or without student’s attendance).

    2.                  Residents may be reassigned to another residence/room at any time when such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the residential community.

    3.                  Male and female residents are forbidden from visiting residents of the opposite sex within the living quarters; except in common areas at specified times.

    4.                  Residents are prohibited from entering another resident’s room during his/her absence.

    5.                  Residents are responsible for locking their rooms in their absence.

    6.                  Limited designated areas for smokers are available. Students are responsible for indicating their preference

    7.                  No pets are allowed in the residence hall. Violation of this rule may jeopardize the resident’s ability to remain in the residence hall.

    8.                  Water pipes (hubbly-bubblies/”sheeshas”) and alcohol are forbidden anywhere on residence hall facilities.

    9.                  Dress codes apply in ALL common areas. Students may not go barefoot or wear pajamas, night garments, brief clothing, or bathing suits in any mixed gender areas.

    10.              Public display of affection, obscene language, excessive noise, card playing in public areas, gambling and other disturbing behavior will not be tolerated. Repeated warnings for any of these behaviors may lead to dismissal from the residence.

    11.              Curfew hours for residents are 10:00 PM every day except evenings of holidays when it is 11:30 PM. Students under 21 wishing to stay out after these hours or to be away on weekends must have parental permission. To change the situation in this matter a written permission from parents is required.

    12.              Excessive late returns will result in a formal warning that will be reported to parents of students under 21.  Repetitive violation of curfew in one semester could mean dismissal from the dorm.

    13.              Signing in and out after curfew hours is a necessary security precaution for EVERYONE.

    14.              Filling out a vacation form when spending nights out is a vital security precaution for EVERYONE.

     

    15.              Common areas, lounges, cafeteria and computer laboratory (as relevant) have specific working hours, which will be announced and are subject to flexibility due to academic needs and special events.

    16.              Those who use residence facilities must abide by all rules; otherwise they will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

     

    Dismissal:

    The Office of Residential Life may take disciplinary measures against any student living in or visiting university housing according to residence Financial and Social Regulations and university disciplinary policies. Residents who are dismissed for disciplinary reasons will forfeit their deposit and the remaining semester housing fee and may be subject to further university disciplinary action. In addition, violating the following rules causes expulsion from the residence:

    1.      Behavior deemed disruptive to community living.

    2.      Male residents or guests are prohibited to be in the female section and vice versa.

    3.      No resident should attempt to break any separator doors/gates.

    4.      Gambling and drug use are illegal by Egyptian law and university policies. Individuals may be subject to the intervention of civil authorities. Alcohol is prohibited both on campus and in the AUC residence. See the Student Handbook for University drug and alcohol policies and procedures.

    5.      Acts of violence or aggression against others will not be tolerated and are grounds for immediate dismissal.

     

    IV.              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    The housing application-contract is a legally binding agreement between the student and the university. Once the application is submitted your contract is valid for one semester and can only be cancelled according to the terms and conditions posted above.
