Application for accommodation at a student residence
The regional office of student activities
(CROUS), a public institution separate from
the university, manages the student residences
which are located on the campuses
and in the city centre. There are a limited
number of these residences and they are
allocated primarily to the students receiving
a scholarship from the French government.
For exchange students:
The URCA has an agreement with CROUS
to reserve some rooms in student residences
for exchange students in the region of
Champagne-Ardenne. In order to reserve
a room you are asked to send a request to
CROUS two or three months prior to your
arrival in France.

a degree at the URCA must create a Dossier
Social Étudiant (DSE) in order to benefit
from the social aid and / or accommodations
provided by the CROUS. Online registration:
