Since this is your Student Handbook, we would like to explain what Schiller students can
expect from the University and its Faculty and also what the Administration and Faculty
expect from students.
EXPECTATIONS
§
You can expect that your Schiller instructor will be academically qualified to
teach the course in which you are enrolled. Don’t be shy. Ask your instructors about their
academic backgrounds. When you do, you will understand what Schiller requires of its
faculty to insure quality in the classroom.
§
You can expect that all Schiller faculty members will have been thoroughly
briefed before they step into the classroom. It is virtually certain, for example, that the
Campus Director has personally interviewed your instructor before he or she was hired.
§
You can expect that your instructor will begin his or her course by explaining
clearly what will be covered in each class, what work you will have to do and how that
work will be graded. To assure that this is completely understood, faculty is asked to
distribute individual course outlines.
§
You can expect to be able to speak to a Schiller administrator whenever you have
a question, compliment, or complaint or when you need advice. All administrators at the
Heidelberg campus are available to talk to students, either during office hours or by
appointment.
§
You can expect complete, accurate information about your academic status and
your progress toward degrees. You academic records are kept by the Main Registrar‘s
office in Florida, and a duplicate set in the Academic Advisor’s office at the Heidelberg
campus.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Thus, with Schiller International University you should indeed have certain expectations
about the education the University provides. But along with expectations go
responsibilities, a set of attitudes and commitments that you must have toward your role in
the educational process.
Page

§
The University expects you to be serious about learning. Schiller International
University is interested in students looking to work hard and strive in challenging course
work. If you are committed to learning and dedicated to a meaningful international
education, Schiller International University looks forward to having you as a student.
§
Schiller instructors expect you to work hard in their courses. This means that two
hours of preparation and study outside of class will probably be necessary for each hour in
class. Schiller instructors hold each student responsible for the timely completion of course
assignments.
§
Schiller instructors and administrators expect you to be concerned about how well
you speak English, for they know that your success at Schiller and in your future job
depends on an ability to express oneself clearly. At Schiller you have the opportunity – and
obligation – to learn to communicate effectively in the language of today‘s business and
diplomacy.
§
Schiller instructors expect you to be concerned about how well you write, for they
know that clear communication is associated with clear thinking. They also know how vital
written communication is in today‘s world. And they know, too, that people are judged by
how well or poorly they express themselves in writing.
§
Schiller instructors expect you to come to class. Because the essential points of the
course are presented, explained and discussed in the classroom, regular attendance is one
of the most important keys to academic success.
§
Schiller instructors follow and expect ethical behavior with regard to copyright.
Schiller International University students, faculty and employees are NOT allowed to make
copies of textbooks and other copyrighted materials using University copiers and other
equipment. SIU strictly prohibits the unauthorized downloading, duplication, or sharing of
copyrighted materials.
§
You are expected to read the current Schiller Catalog and Student Handbook and
to understand their contents. The Catalog is the most important source of information
about Schiller programs. It describes everything from financial aid to degree programs and
course descriptions. It outlines standards of satisfactory academic progress.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Schiller International University offers undergraduates a wide range of courses to satisfy
individual objectives and interests, but the program of study pursued by each candidate must
fulfill the requirements in the chosen field as stated in the university catalogue. These
requirements are intended to lead students to study one discipline in depth and to broaden
their acquaintance with important areas of knowledge outside the discipline.
REGISTRATION
Students are required to register in person on the date indicated in the Academic Calendar.
Students who register late will be charged a late fee (see catalog), and may find some of the
courses closed.
Students should consider their program requirements with care. Course descriptions are
available at the Director of Studies office. They will inform you if you must have a prerequisite in order to register for a certain course. If you need counseling, see an academic
counselor before registration day.
No student may register for two classes meeting at the same time.
COURSE LOAD
A full-time student must enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours (4 courses) per term. The
standard load per term is 12-15 credits (4-5 courses) each term. Students may enroll in more than
15 credit hours in a semester only with the prior written permission of the Provost at the Largo
campus or the Campus Director at the applicable site in Europe. (See catalog).
ADD/DROP (CHANGES IN REGISTRATION)
During the first three days of each 4-week term a student may add or drop a course by
completing an Add/Drop form available outside the Registrar’s Office or in front of the
Academic Advisors offices. Students should carefully read the add/drop instructions on this
form. Add/Drops are not automatically given – the Academic Advisor must make a decision
in each individual case.
Course changes during this period do not appear on transcripts. However, after the Add/
Drop period, students who withdraw from classes (forms available in Registrar’s office) will
receive either an “F” (Failed, Course Requirements Not Completed) or a “W” ( Withdraw) for
the course (see below). Under no conditions may a course be added after the Add/Drop
period.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
It is a requirement for ALL non-native English speakers to show adequate English language
proficiency. This can be shown by the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of
at least 500 (written version), 173 (computer version), 61 (internet version), or an IELTS
(International English Language Testing System) score of 5.5 or better.
GERMAN/ FRENCH/ SPANISH EXAMS FOR CREDIT
These exams will be offered for non-native speakers on request during the student’s first
term. You may sit for more than one language exam for placement, but you may receive
credit for only one; 12 credits being the maximum possible. There will be a fee for each
examination.
YOU MAY TAKE LANGUAGE EXAMS FOR CREDIT ONLY DURING YOUR FIRST TERM AT
SCHILLER.
GRADES AND GPA
The work of each undergraduate student in a course is graded A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D
and W (withdrawal). The lowest grade whereby the students receive credit for the course is
D.
The work of each graduate student in a course is graded A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C- and W
(withdrawal). The lowest grade whereby the students receive credit for the course is C-.

Students who have not completed the necessary requirements for a specific course for any
reason whatsoever will receive “Failed” (F).
Students who withdraw from a course after the add-drop period but before the midterm
exam will receive a “W” grade. Students who withdraw after the beginning of the midterm
exams and before the beginning of final exams must have the signature of their instructor
indicating that they are, up to that point, passing the course, to be able to receive the “W”
grade. After finals week started there will be no “W” grade.
Each grade has a numerical value as follows:
Grade point average:
•The grade multiplied by the number of credits for that course gives you the QP (Quality
Points) for that course.
•The sum of all QP for the semester divided by the sum of all credits for that semester gives
you the GPA (Grade Point Average).
•To add a new semester’s result to the previous one(s), add the total QP for the new
semester to the former QP total and divide this by the total number of credits attempted
to date (present semester total plus former credit total).

37.50 / 15 = 2.5 Semester GPA (Grade Point Average)
F (Failed / No Credit) GRADE
The notation “F” is considered final. Under no circumstances are students permitted to do
additional work in order to receive credit and a grade for a course in which F has been
earned. In order to receive credit in an F course, students must retake the course in a
subsequent semester and receive a satisfactory grade. A grade of “F” is averaged into a
student’s Grade Point Average. This means that you must divide by the number of credits
you attempted that semester regardless of the grade you received. If a student repeats a
course in which an F was received, only the new grade is calculated in the GPA.
Note: While the notation “F” has been introduced in the current SIU catalog, the former
notation “NC” (No Credit) will continue to be used for some time until all electronic systems
have been changed to reflect the new notation.
Page

INCOMPLETE GRADE
Incomplete grades are granted only when students have an official excuse. Students must
petition and receive written approval from the Academics Committee in order to receive an
incomplete for a course. Upon approval, the student will have eight weeks after the end of
the semester in which the course was taken to finish the required work and receive a grade
for credit. When the work is completed, the instructor reports the semester grade. If the
work is not completed within this period of time, the “Incomplete” will automatically be
changed to “NC” (No Credit). This notation is considered final. (See “F” Grade). Once a course
grade has been submitted to the Registrar, it becomes part of the student’s permanent
record and cannot be changed to an “F” notation.
GRADE APPEALS
Grade appeals are possible only within two weeks of the end of the term. Please contact the
Campus Registrar.
REPEATING COURSES
Students may repeat a course which they have previously taken in order to raise their grade,
but credit is only granted once. The original grade remains on the transcript but only the
second grade is used in calculating the GPA. This policy does not apply to those courses
which, because of their content changes, may be repeated for credit.
COURSE WITHDRAWALS
During the Drop/Add period courses may be dropped without notation on the student’s
transcript. Students who withdraw from a course after the two-day add/drop period but
before the midterm exam will receive a “W” grade. Students who withdraw after the
beginning the midterm exams and before the beginning of final exams must have the
signature of their instructor that they are, up to that point, passing the course, to be able to
receive the “W” grade. After the beginning of finals week there will be no “W” grade.
It is vital that you see the Academic Advisors if you wish to withdraw from a class.
UNIVERSITY WITHDRAWAL
Students who find it necessary to withdraw from SIU must consult the Campus Director and
Registrar in order to be granted withdrawal in good standing. The date of withdrawal and
the notation “W” for each course in which the student is enrolled are recorded on the
student’s permanent transcript. Students who withdraw during the term may be eligible for
a partial refund of their tuition. The refund schedule is published in the University catalog
and students should speak to the Campus Bursar.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
For current information regarding satisfactory academic progress please refer to the current
catalog, supplement and addendum.
ASCERTAINING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
For current information regarding ascertaining satisfactory academic progress please refer
to the current catalog, supplement and addendum.
CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE
The Committee reviewed the “Class Attendance Policy“ as explained in the undergraduate
catalog p.48. In particular, discussion was focused on the statement: “The grading policies
of individual faculty members may or may not take class attendance into consideration.“
Dr. Hartman, as the designated faculty member on the committee, indicated that
attendance should be mandatory of all students and that poor attendance should be
reflected in the grade. He argued for an institutional policy to which all faculty are to adhere.
Dr. Scott confirmed that between 15%-25% of the enrolled student body were absent from
class each day during a three week evaluation period.
Student Government representative, Zainab Jamil Amir-Hoshang, submitted the following
suggestions to strengthen student attendance:
i) Clear structure of the class.
„Some teachers do not have a structure while teaching, which makes the student often
confused and bored, therefore they prefer not going to classes or miss many classes.“
ii) Assign extra work for being absent.
iii) Attendance policy should be enforced.
“
A student, who was absent for 4 classes within one course should not gain the credits, as
s/he have already missed 25% of the classes or more when counting that we do not
study on the day of midterm and final.“
iv) Raise the percentage that attendance is worth.
The attendance in most of Schiller classes carries about 10%, In my opinion raising it
to 20% would be a good Idea, at least for a while, until everyone regulates to the new
policy.
The Campus Director indicated that a co-relation must be established between attendance
and performance in order to support a standardized institutional policy for both the
Page
8
Heidelberg campus and the other campuses in the University system. Until such time as the
analysis of the data shows a cause and effect relationship between attendance and grades,
which then can be a basis for revising the institutional policy, attention should be placed on
standardizing the attendance policy in the course syllabi.
To this effect, the Committee commissioned a new class attendance roster which aims to
simplify the collecting of attendance data for the instructor in a digital, i.e. electronic format,
and facilitate the computation of the data. The form is to be designed and tested in
November and if proven feasible and practical, will be implemented no later than January
2014.
The attendance policy as communicated in the course syllabus, student handbook, and
faculty handbook should clearly state the following:
a.The SIU Heidelberg attendance policy is applicable to all courses taught at the campus.
b. Class attendance will be recorded by the instructor.
c. Students can be excused from class in the following situations:
i) for health reasons
If the student is absent from class for three consecutive days or longer due to
health reasons, he or she is required to present a doctor‘s note (Krankmeldung)
to the instructor no later than the third day of absence to be recorded as excused
from class. A petition to withdraw from a course, retake an exam or submit
assignments late due to health reasons can only be considered if the student has
submitted a doctor‘s note indicating the duration the student is declared unfit to
attend class.
If the student is absent from class for less than three days, the student is
obligated to inform the instructor or the campus administration by email or
telephone on each of the days they are absent due to illness. A petition to retake
an exam or submit assignments late will only be considered if the absence has
been communicated to the instructor or campus administration.
ii) for participation in University-sponsored activities
iii) for attendance at an important family event
iv) for job interviews
If the student is absent from class to attend a job interview, an important family
event or one sponsored by the University, the student is obligated to inform his
or her instructor personally or by email in advance of the event in order for the
absence to be excused. A petition to withdraw from a course, retake an exam or
submit assignments late will only be considered if the absence has been
communicated to the instructor and verification of participation in the event is
provided by the student or the event organizer.
v) for transportation delays
Page
9
If the student is absent from class due to transportation delay, the student is obligated to
inform his or her instructor personally or by email on the day of the delay. A petition to
retake an exam or submit assignments late will only be considered if the absence has been
communicated to the instructor on the same day at which the student was delayed or
absent from class. If demanded, the student will need to indicate where and when the delay
was encountered.
SCHOOL EXCURSIONS
SIU Heidelberg offers you a number of school or class excursions during the semester, and
you are encouraged to take advantage of these. As far as possible, trips are scheduled not to
conflict with classes. However, remember if you plan to miss a class because you wish to
take part in a school trip, this missed class counts as an absence and your instructor has to
be informed about your participation in the school trip.
EXAMINATIONS
All examinations are obligatory. Exceptions are only made upon presentation of medical
excuse. There is a fee for every specially scheduled final and midterm exam.
Examination rules are written on the exam booklets. Be sure to read them. Students can be
expected to take as many as 3 exams in one day.
CHEATING
Any student found cheating will automatically fail the exam, and further sanctions may be
imposed by the Academics Committee. A second offense will lead to an automatic “F” for
the course. (See catalog)
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional presentation of another person’s idea or
product as one’s own. As a form of academic dishonesty, any student who plagiarizes is
subject to a severe penalty and will be reported to the Academics Committee.
Examples of plagiarism are: copying verbatim and without attribution, all or part of another
person’s written work; using phrases, charts, figures, illustrations, computer programs, or
mathematical or scientific solutions without citing the source; paraphrasing ideas,
conclusions or research without citing the source; and using all or part of a computer
program, or other artistic product without attributing the work to its creator. This applies
also to material translated from any language into English. Students can avoid unintentional
plagiarism by carefully following accepted scholarly practices. Notes taken for papers
Page
10
should accurately record sources of material to be cited, quoted, paraphrased or
summarized, and research or critical papers should acknowledge these sources in footnotes
or by use of direct quotations. If a student has any doubts, he or she should seek guidance
from the relevant instructor.
Note: All work that students turn in for classes must be original. Under no circumstances
may the same course paper be used for more than one course. Students found using papers
twice or using someone else‘s will receive a failing mark on the paper, and may fail the
course based on the instructor’s discretion in consultation with the Registrar.

•Honesty and integrity are essential to Schiller International University’s academic standard
to educate ethical, global citizens. A violation of the academic honesty policy undermines
the fundamental values inherent in SIU’s mission. Violations include but are not limited to
the following:
•Cheating: Intentionally using unauthorized material. Infringing on academic rights of
others.
• Fabrication: Intentional or unintentional invention or falsification.
•Plagiarism: Intentionally or unintentionally representing the words or ideas of another as
one’s own.
•Facilitation: Knowingly helping another to commit an act of academic dishonesty
The risk of plagiarism can be avoided by clearly indicating the source of any major or unique
idea or wording that one did not arrive at on one’s own. Sources must be given regardless of
whether the material is directly quoted or paraphrased. Students who breach the policy will
be subject to penalties: First offense: you will receive a zero for the assignment with NO
opportunity for making it up. The Program Director and the Campus Registrar will be
notified that you have cheated in the course. Second offense will result in receiving an “F” for
the course. There will be absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy.

AUDITING
A student may attend a course without taking it for credit by auditing. Full-time students
wishing to audit a course must obtain the permission of the course instructor and the study
center Registrar. There is a fee connected with auditing a course.
COURSES AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS
Before enrolling at outside institutions students must receive approval from the Provost,
through the Campus Director or Registrar, to determine whether or not SIU credits will be
granted for the course. The student is responsible for obtaining an official transcript for the
course work completed. Tuition costs for courses taken at other institutions are the
responsibility of the student.
ACADEMICS COMMITTEE
The Academics Committee considers all appeals concerning grades awarded, exam content,
instructors, and academic policy. A student must first make an appeal to the Registrar or
Director, who may resolve the matter directly or refer it to the Committee. The following
procedure will be used to handle the appeal.
Step 1. The student shall appeal the final grade directly to his/her instructor within five (5)
days after the grade is posted. If the student is not satisfied with the decision, he/she
should immediately proceed to Step 2.
Step 2. The student shall contact the Dean or Provost to appeal his/her final grade by
completing the Grade Appeal Form. The Dean or Provost will render a decision
within five (5) days. If the student is not satisfied with the decision the student
should proceed immediately to Step 3.
Step 3. The student may request an Academic Appeal Committee be assembled to make a
final resolution. The Committee shall consist of three (3) or more faculty members
including at least one outside the instructor’s discipline. The Committee shall advise
the student of the final resolution and render a decision within five (5) days. The
decision of the Committee is final.
The procedure is to be completed within 15 calendar days. If a grade change is approved,
the University will ensure the change is recorded in the student’s official academic record.
The posted grade shall remain in effect until the appeal procedure is completed.

RULES COMMITTEE
The Rules Committee is responsible for the enforcement of the rules which govern student
life at Schiller. If a serious infraction of rules occurs, the Rules Committee meets and decides
on the course of action to be taken. Such disciplinary matters will be referred to the Rules
Committee by the Study Center Director, Registrar, or Academic Advisor. Other staff
members should ask the Director to present their request. Any verdict reached by the Rules
Committee is placed into the official record of the student. The verdict becomes effective
after it has been approved by the Study Center Director and by the President. It is of prime
importance that the student whose case is brought before the committee be granted a
hearing. Depending on the preference of the student, the hearing can be either before the
Committee or with the Director in the privacy of his/her office.
GRADUATE COMMITTEE
The campus MBA program is advised by a standing committee to approve theses and to
deal with other matters of concern to graduate students and faculty. The Committee
consists of the Graduate Program Advisors, a member of the faculty appointed by the Study
Center Director, the Study Center Director and an elected member of the graduate student
body. The President of Schiller International University and the Academic Dean are ex officio
members of each study center committee. The Student member of the committee has no
vote in academic matters.
The Graduate Committee is authorized to hear appeals for changing grades. The student is
expected to have conferred with the instructor and the Program Director before appealing
to the Committee. Appeals must be made in writing by the student and given to the
Committee chairperson for a hearing to be scheduled within the first half of the following
term. All Committee decisions will be finalized by the next grading period. Three members
in addition to the recording secretary constitute a quorum. Appeals filed after 2 weeks are
not considered.
GRIEVANCE POLICY
It is the policy of Schiller International University to provide appropriate grievance policies
and procedures to every student. Every campus has an Academics Committee to deal with
grievances and questions of misconduct in the academic area and a Rules Committee to
deal with the grievances and questions of misconduct in the social area.
Both Committees provide the students with procedural due process. This includes adequate
notice of the charges against him/her, the right to present his/her case and any supporting
evidence, and an impartial decision by the respective committee. In the event that the
remedy imposed by the respective committee is expulsion from the University, the student
Page
13
has the right to present his/her case personally to the University President who may confirm
the decision of the committee or return the case to the committee for further consideration.
In all other grievance matters, the student may present his grievance to the Campus
Director if it relates to a Campus matter or the University President if it relates to a Campus
Director. The Campus Director or President will provide the student with an opportunity to
present his/her case, present any evidence, and shall, at the student’s request, provide a
decision in writing.
Students who feel that the above procedure is not adequate may contact ACICS
(Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools).
Address: ACICS, 750 First Street, NE, Suite 980, Washington, DC 20002-4241.
Telephone: (202) 336-6780.
Web: www.acics.org
ACADEMIC COUNSELING
The Academic Advisor is available for academic advising. Students should discuss their
program with the advisor once a semester. Although an advisor will counsel the student
about academic requirements, the student is ultimately responsible for being informed and
meeting the requirements for his or her specific degree program. Any changes in the
student’s study program must first be discussed with the academic advisor as prior approval
is necessary.
Page

ACADEMIC PROCEDURES
FINANCIAL AID Federal or Institutional (SIU) (See catalog)
All applications for State and Federal Financial Aid must be submitted to the Florida Campus
and are administered on a rolling basis.
Applications for Institutional Financial Aid must be submitted to the SIU Heidelberg
campus. Each applicant will be advised as to the outcome.

PETITIONS FOR GRADUATION
Each student must complete a Petition for Graduation at least one semester before planning
to graduate, and after first seeing the academic advisor then return it to the Registrar.
Graduation is permitted only after approval by the Provost in Florida. The student will
receive a copy of the approved Petition for Graduation in his or her mailbox.
INTER-CAMPUS TRANSFER
Students wishing to transfer to another SIU center must fill out an application, (available
from the Registrar). In order to be eligible for transferring to another Schiller campus, a
student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. The deadline for applying for transfer
is always one month before the start of the next semester. Students wishing to go to Florida
should apply earlier, to obtain a visa for the United States in time.

n Heidelberg, Germany
Germany is the largest European economy and the third largest economy in the world
with a population of 82.5 million. As a central European country, it has privileged access to
eastern European countries and Russia. Germany is the world’s most important exporter
and has access to virtually all global markets.
Heidelberg is the centerpiece of Germany’s academic landscape as it is home to the
country’s oldest university and library. It is also recognized as a hub for the latest high-tech
industry and scientific research in Europe and the world.
Overlooked by its famous castle ruins on the hill above the Old Town, this picturesque
university town combines old-world charm and a youthful, vibrant atmosphere. In addition,
Heidelberg is located strategically between bustling major German centers of finance and
manufacturing: Frankfurt, Mannheim, and Stuttgart.
Major international corporations are headquartered close to Heidelberg, such as SAP, BASF,
Daimler Benz, Porsche and many others providing a potential platform for students to
access internships and for graduates to penetrate the local job market which is constantly
seeking internationally educated and multicultural candidates.
The Heidelberg campus is located in the newly built SKYLABS complex, a series of concept
buildings featuring the latest technical, architectural advancements and a high degree of
energy efficiency symbolizing a combination of science and industry.
The SKYLABS building is located conveniently accessible to the national train (Deutsche
Bahn) a mere 3 minutes walking distance from Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) and
5 minutes by tram to the city center (Bismarckplatz), and local public transportation

the rules will be handled by the Director in coordination with the Rules Committee.
Disciplinary actions may range from a formal warning to dismissal.

STUDENT LIFE
CAMPUS HOURS
The University hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The campus is

list should be checked daily:

ACTIVITIES
Throughout the semester, our campus offers a variety of academic, cultural and social
activities. These entail visits to places of interest in Heidelberg and other cities in Germany
and Europe, field trips to multinational companies, lectures on business and political issues
by outside speakers, sports activities and our traditional graduation ceremony every year in
April.
All details about these events are on the Activities Bulletin Board. The cost is covered either

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The student body will be called to elect representatives for a Student Council. The Council
will make the proposals to the Administration concerning extra-curricular activities and the
organization of student life at the Heidelberg campus.
It will administer the funds made available for social events from the Activities Fees. The
Council will meet periodically with representatives of the Administration, but will be fully
responsible for its own organization.
Elections are usually held in April. Core positions as President and Treasurer are open for
competition. The Vice President position will be filled by the first runner-up for President.
Secretary, Marketing and Activities Coordinator are appointed by the newly elected
President:
The role of the President, as the head of the student government, is to manage and push
through policies and ideas in accordance with the mission statement. The President is the
representative of the Student Government to University administration at the Heidelberg
Campus, and as needed, the administration in Florida. It should be the policy of the
president to delegate specific responsibilities related to specific events or agenda items to
other student government members and/or members of the student body, while
maintaining management over the planning and execution of it. This policy should be used
as means of both creating a shared responsibility among the student government and
increasing student body involvement.
Vice President:
The Vice President will have the task of ensuring a link between the President and the rest of
the Student Government. He/she initiates work on special projects with the assistance from
other members of government. In the absence of the President, the Vice President will
temporarily take upon the President‘s rights and obligations.
Treasurer:
The Treasurer will be responsible for the finances and the budget of the Student
Government.
Secretary:
The Secretary will be responsible for the administrative activities and the minutes of all
meetings.

sponsored by the Student Government.

GUIDE TO HEIDELBERG

BANKING
Germany’s monetary unit is the “EURO”.
Coins are in denominations of 2-, 1-, €, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 Cents.
Since the world money market is subject to fluctuations, it is not possible to indicate a rate
of exchange for currencies.
The safest and most convenient way to carry money is in the form of traveler’s checks. They
are cashed without delay at all banks in Germany or outside Germany.
Here are several methods for handling money:
• Bank checks or cashier’s checks: These are only useful if drawn on one of the big New York
banks or the Bank of America (the reason is that the signatures from local banks in the U.S.
are not on file here for verification).
• Open a bank account called “No residence”. This can be opened with cashier’s checks,
traveler’s checks or American dollars. This is immediately converted into Euros. Only Euros
can be withdrawn, but any currency can be deposited. Bank accounts for students are free
of charge.
Bank openings hours may vary, but normally they are open:
Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

n Madrid, Spain
Spain is the fifth-largest European economy and the thirteen-largest in the world and has a
population of 47 million. Spain keeps close links with the Americas, from north to south and
even closer with the Spanish speaking countries and Brazil.
Madrid is one of the largest cities in the European Union with 6 million in the area.
Located within the city are the headquarters of many Spanish multinational organizations
such as the Santander, Repsol, Telefonica, BBVA and Endesa. As a major capital city, most
countries in the world maintain full Embassy staffs. Madrid is also the home of the World
Tourism Organization. The city offers superb contacts in the areas of international business,
international relations and also hospitality and tourism management.
Quality of life in the city is excellent – Madrid enjoys 2769 hours of sunshine per year. There
are ski resorts close to Madrid and high speed trains connect the city to Barcelona and
other coastal cities. Barajas airport is a major international hub allowing easy access to the
rest of Europe and the world.
The city has a fast and effective public transport system and excellent health services. There
is a vibrant nightlife and some of the leading museums in the world.
The Madrid campus is housed in an elegant historic building which once belonged to a
member of the Spanish Royal Family situated on the elegant Serrano Street – close to many
of the city’s embassies and close to the Castellana just within walking distance of the AZCA
business area.
The Campus is served by metro and buses – including a link to the international airport.
Students can learn Spanish on campus and are encouraged to develop their knowledge of
the city and its culture.

Since this is your Student Handbook, we would like to explain what Schiller students can
expect from the University and its Faculty and also what the Administration and Faculty
expect from students.
EXPECTATIONS
As a Schiller student, you have the right to expect certain things:
§
You can expect that your Schiller instructor will be academically qualified teach the
course in which you are enrolled.
Because all Schiller instructors meet rigorous standards set by the central Administration of
Schiller International University and the Accrediting Commission of Independent Colleges
and Schools, no one is approved to teach with Schiller-Madrid who could not teach at all
others campuses or at universities in the United States. Don’t be shy. Ask your instructors
about their academic backgrounds. When you do, you will understand what Schiller
requires of its faculty to insure quality in the classroom.
§
You can expect that all Schiller faculty members will have been thoroughly briefed
before they step into the classroom.
The Campus Director has personally interviewed your instructor before he or she was hired.
Each faculty member is provided with a Faculty Handbook, which specifies his or her
obligations and the rules of the University. In addition, the Campus Director will have
personally examined and approved the curriculum vitae and qualifications of each
instructor.
§
You can expect that Schiller Administration will provide various forms of academic
support to your instructors.
Professional materials, orientation sessions, class visits by administrators, faculty meetings
and faculty development workshops are some of the means of support we make available
to our instructors. Faculty is given the opportunity to select books and other materials for
our library. This continual support is provided to instructors to enable them to give you their
very best.
§
You can expect that your instructor will begin his or her course by explaining
clearly what will be covered in each class, what work you will have to do and how that work
will be graded.
To assure that this is completely understood, faculty is asked to distribute course outlines in
your first class.
Page
45
§
You can expect that for each course you will receive the full specified number of
classroom hours of instruction.
Schiller International University knows how important faculty-student interaction is to
learning and therefore assures that all classes meet for their fully scheduled time. Faculty is
aware that all canceled classes must be made up.
§
You can expect to be able to speak to a Schiller administrator whenever you have a
question, compliment, or complaint or when you need advice.
All administrators at the Madrid campus are available to talk to students, either during office
hours or by appointment. Furthermore, Administrators from Florida come to the Madrid
campus regularly. And of course you can always telephone Schiller’s Central Administration
in Florida and talk directly to the appropriate office.
§
You can expect complete, accurate information about your academic status and
your progress toward degrees.
Your academic records are kept by the Main Registrar’s office in Florida, and a duplicate set
in the Registrar’s office in the Madrid campus. Whenever you transfer from one Schiller
campus to another your student file follows you. These offices exist to provide you with
evaluations and advice
Thus, with Schiller International University you should indeed have certain expectations
about the education the University provides. But along with expectations go
responsibilities, a set of attitudes and commitments that you must have toward your role in
the educational process.
Page
46
RESPONSIBILITIES
The University expects you to be serious about learning.
Schiller would rather not have you enroll if you are looking for a “free ride”. Simply paying
tuition does not earn you a diploma. Schiller instructors do not “water down” courses simply
because your English proficiency is not at University level or because you are working while
you are studying. American Universities emphasize academic quality and Schiller
International University shares that concern.
Schiller instructors expect you to work hard in their courses.
In practical terms this means that two hours of preparation and study outside of class
will probably be necessary for each hour in class. Unless you are prepared to make this
commitment, you probably won’t do well in a Schiller class. Thus, be careful about telling a
Schiller instructor, “I don’t have time to study for your course.” We ask instructors to listen
sympathetically but not to lower their standards.
Schiller instructors and administrators expect you to be concerned about how well
you speak English, for they know that your success at Schiller and in your future job
depends on an ability to express oneself clearly.
At Schiller you have the opportunity – and obligation – to learn to communicate effectively in
the language of today’s business and diplomacy. Your language courses are the foundation of
your education. Schiller instructors are more than willing to help you express yourself orally,
and expect that you are working hard on improving. Do you concentrate on speaking clearly?
Do you speak English with other Schiller students? Do you read books and see films in
English? Do you speak up in class? Schiller International University gives you the opportunity
to immerse yourself in English, and your academic success depends on doing so.
Schiller instructors expect you to be concerned about how well you write, for they
know that clear communication is associated with clear thinking.
They also know how vital written communication is in today’s world. And they know, too,
that people are judged by how well or poorly they express themselves in writing. For all
these reasons, they are concerned that their students be critical about the quality of their
own writing. Is your writing as coherent as possible? As precise as possible? As clear as
possible? Are the sentences clearly and coherently punctuated? Has spelling been checked
before the last draft was submitted? You will need lots of writing experience because you
will have to be able to communicate effectively during your studies and in the professional
world. If you are not communicating as effectively as you wish to or need to, get help by
asking the Registrar for advice.
Page
47
Schiller instructors expect you to come to class. Because the essential points of the
course are presented, explained and discussed in the classroom, regular attendance is one
of the most important keys to academic success. If you do not attend sufficient classes,
you will not be allowed to take your midterm and final examinations.
Please let us know if you are ill and remember that you are still responsible for the material
that was covered in your absence.
Schiller instructors follow and expect ethical behavior with regard to copyright
IMPORTANT: Schiller International University (SIU) students, faculty and employees are
NOT allowed to make copies of textbooks and other copyrighted materials using University
copiers and other equipment. SIU strictly prohibits the unauthorized downloading,
duplication, or sharing of copyrighted materials. The formal SIU Copyright Policy is provided
below.
The Copyright Act of 1976 grants to copyright owners the exclusive right to reproduce their
works and distribute copies of their work. Works that receive copyright protection include
published works such as a textbook. Copying a textbook without permission from the
owner of the copyright may constitute copyright infringement. Civil and criminal penalties
may be assessed for copyright infringement. Civil penalties include damages up to
$100,000; criminal penalties include a fine up to $250,000 and imprisonment.
SUMMARY OF CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES
The unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including peer-to-peer file sharing,
may result in students being subject to civil and criminal liability.
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or
more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under §106 of the Copyright
Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). These rights include the right to reproduce or
distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading
substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone
found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages
or “statutory” damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work
infringed. For “willful” infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A
court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys’ fees. For details, see Title 17,
United States Code, Sections 504, 505.
Page
48
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment
of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense. For more information, please see
the U.S. Copyright Office web site at www.copyright.gov, especially the FAQ at www.
copyright.gov/help/faq .
You are expected to read the current Schiller Catalog and Student Handbook and to
understand their contents.
The Catalog is the most important source of information about Schiller programs. It
describes everything from financial aid to degree programs and course descriptions. It
outlines standards of satisfactory academic progress. The Student Handbook, while
repeating some of the information found in the Catalog, is specifically designed to help you
succeed at the Madrid campus. The Madrid campus administrators will be happy t answer
any questions you may have about what the Catalog and the Handbook say. You can always
find the latest version of the Catalog on our website. www.schillermadrid.edu
In short, if you are looking for an easy course or an automatic education, you should not
enroll with Schiller. We want you as a student only if you want to learn and are willing to
work hard to earn a meaningful education.

ACTIVITIES AND STUDENT LIFE
SOCIAL REGULATIONS
The policy at SIU-Madrid is to treat all students as mature members of an academic
community. As active members of this community, students are required at all times, both
on campus and in their private lives, to conduct themselves in a manner that brings credit
to themselves, their country and to Schiller International University. It is each student’s
responsibility to see that these standards of conduct are maintained. Infractions of the rules
will be handled by the campus director in coordination with the Rules Committee.
Disciplinary actions may range from a formal warning to dismissal.
DRUGS
The use or possession of any illegal drug at any time is a very serious offense in Spain and
can lead to immediate expulsion or years of imprisonment. Drug use will not be tolerated
within the University.
SMOKING
All educational centers are smoke-free. Smoking is permitted outside the building only.
CLEANLINESS
Anyone responsible for unnecessary messes in the center, classroom, study rooms, library,
bathrooms, etc. will be responsible for cleaning it up.
NOISE
Shouting, loud talking, and loud music are not acceptable as you may bother classes that
are taking place, other students who are studying and campus administrators in their
offices.
CENTER HOURS
The University hours are from 9:00 to 18:00 Monday through Thursday and 9:00 to 17:00 on
Friday. The center is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Spanish holidays as posted on the
bulletin board.

STUDENT LOCKERS
Students may rent lockers on a semester basis. Please see the Student Services office for
more information. [email protected]
ACTIVITIES
Throughout the semester SIU-Madrid offers a variety of academic, cultural and social
activities. These entail visits to places of interest in Madrid and other cities in Spain, field
trips to multinational companies, lectures on business and political issues by outside
speakers, sports activities and our traditional end of semester graduation ceremony.
You will find all details about these events in the Reception area. The cost of these activities
is covered partially by the University and partially by the students. For every event, students
signing up must pay a deposit to reserve a place which will be refunded once the student
attends and the activity has taken place. Deposits will not be refunded for students who do
not show up.
STUDENT COUNCIL
The student body will be called to elect representatives for a Student Council. The Council
will make the proposals to the Administration concerning extra-curricular activities and the
organization of student life at the Madrid campus. The Council will meet periodically with
representatives of the Administration, but will be fully responsible for its own organization.
YEARBOOK
In the past, a yearbook has been published by the Student Council and other interested
students. Any student interested in working on a yearbook committee should consult with
the Council members at the beginning of the semester.
NEWSPAPER
When there is sufficient student interest, a student newspaper may be published regularly.
All students wishing to contribute to its publication or contribute articles should consult
with the Council members at the beginning of the semester.

TELEPHONE CALLS
To call long distance, dial 00 and then the country code followed by the area code and the
number. Information within Madrid is 11888. It is possible to buy prepaid cards from kiosks
in central Madrid which usually work out cheaper than regular calls. Most students now use
the free internet telephone services such as SKYPE to call home.
TRANSPORTATION IN THE CITY
Madrid has a very efficient system of both subway and bus lines and you can find full
information at http://www.emtmadrid.es/
Buses and subway cost 1.50€ (one ride). Both are less expensive if you buy a 10-ride ticket.
These can be found in the Metro or at the newspaper kiosks. Special discount monthly
passes are available for those under 21 (Abono Joven). Over 21 is an Abono Normal. See the
Student Services office for details or visit your local “estanco” for an application. If you use
public transportation more than 4 times a day, it is worth your while to invest in the
monthly unlimited-use transportation pass.
There are trains, called “Cercanías” that circulate in Madrid and go to suburban towns outside,
and interesting places such as El Escorial, Segovia, Toledo and Ávila, with schedules throughout the day. The main stations are Atocha, Sol, Nuevos Ministerios, Chamartín and Príncipe Pío
Although gasoline prices have gone up considerably in the past few years, taxis continue to
be reasonable.
All students are advised to invest in a large city map of Madrid which includes bus and
metro lines. This will be of great help to you throughout the year as you discover Madrid.
The Student Services office will be pleased to give you a pocket-size map free of charge.

RESIDENCE IN SPAIN
All students must be legally residing in Spain. Remember that the Spanish police can and do
ask you to identify yourself and to demonstrate your right to be in Spain. You should carry
identification on you at all times – you can be legally detained if you cannot identify
yourself. Please see the Admissions office for more detailed information regarding student
visas and student residency cards.
It is a good idea to scan your documentation and email it to yourself – that way you will
always be able to access a copy in case of loss or theft.
BANKING
Spain’s monetary unit is the “Euro” – € symbol.
Coins are in denominations of 1 – 2 – 5 – 10 – 20 – 50 cents and 1€ and 2€.
Bills exist in denominations of 5 – 10 – 20 – 50 – 100 – 200 – 500€.
Here are several methods used if money is being sent to you:
1.Bank checks or cashier’s checks. These are only useful if drawn on one the big New York
banks or the Bank of America. The reason is that the signatures from local banks in the
U.S. are not on file here for verification.
2.Open a bank account type “No Residente”. This can be opened with traveler’s checks,
cashier’s checks or US dollars. The funds are immediately converted into euros. Only
euros can be withdrawn but any currency can be deposited. The balance in a “No
Residente” account cannot exceed 12,000.00€ at any time.
Bank hours vary but generally are Monday-Friday 8:30-14:00 and some open on Saturday
9:00-13:30 and some on Thursday afternoons.

n Paris, France
France is the second-largest economy in the European Union and the fifth-largest in the
world. With a population of 66 million it is the most-visited country in the world, receiving
79.5 million foreign tourists annually. France’s long history has resulted in close links with
many territories across the world especially in the Americas, Africa and Asia.
Paris is the economic and commercial capital of France, its leading financial and stock
market. The density of its railway, highway and airport structure (one of the main European
hubs); make it a focal point for international transport and an important manufacturing
powerhouse of Europe, especially in industrial sectors such as automobiles, aeronautics, and
electronics. The local economy has moved towards high-value-added activities, in particular
business services.
Paris also has a prominent place in the world of fashion and luxury. Several international
organizations have their headquarters in Paris. They include UNESCO, the OECD, the
International Chamber of Commerce, and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The city
offers over 150 museums including the Louvre, and exceptional sites, such as the ChampsElysees or the Eiffel Tower. Paris is the world capital of exhibitions and conferences (5% of
global business conferences), as well as world leader of fashion, luxury, gastronomy and of
romantic love.
Paris also offers an excellent choice for entertainment, including theaters and operas, and
moviegoer audiences have an unparalleled choice of films from around the world. Studying in
Paris is a great opportunity for our students to be immersed in one of the most important
political, diplomatic, economic and cultural capitals in the world.
Schiller’s Paris campus is centrally located, in one of the liveliest areas of the French capital.
Students have access to the nearby American Library of Paris and other relevant facilities.

Schiller International University, Paris Campus is located at Convention/Vaugirard area, in
„15e arrondissement“ (15th district). Close to Montparnasse and the student district
“Quartier Latin”, it is one of the liveliest areas of Paris on the left bank of the Seine River. At
the turn of last century, Montparnasse was the center of art and Bohemian life.
Paris needs no introduction. The capital of one of the great European and world powers, it
remains a diplomatic and cultural center second to none. Its museums house some of the
richest art collections in the world, and its distinguished architecture and wide tree-lined
avenues make it a city of elegance and charm surpassed by no other city in Europe.

VILLE DE PARIS BIBLIOTHEQUES (Complete list on file in Library)
These are free neighborhood public libraries run by the city of Paris with at least one in each
of the twenty arrondissements. Many of these local libraries are housed in attractive new or
remodeled quarters with open-shelf collections of fiction and non-fiction including
reference works and periodicals. Many also have a records collection. Only registered users
may borrow books for home use. A card can usually be obtained by giving satisfactory proof
of identity and residence.
Page

POSTAL SERVICE
The main function of the French Post Office (La Poste) is to convey letters (though La Poste
also provides banking services, and you can open an account there). Letters for destinations
within France usually arrive the next day, for EU countries 2-4 days and for USA up to 7 days.
In many post offices, you will find automatic stamp machines, telephone booths and
photocopiers.
POSTAL CHARGES
The cost of sending a letter depends on its weight and destination. For EU destinations, it
costs about 0, 80 € to send a letter weighing up to 20 grams. For countries outside the EU,
there are different prices for each geographical region. A letter weighing more than 20
grams must be marked Lettre (all post offices have weighing scales and label dispensers).
POSTCODES
An essential part of all addresses in France is the five-digit postcode that identifies the
commune. The postcode immediately precedes the name of the town or village, on the last
line of the address for all mail within France. The first 2 digits of the postcode indicate the
number of the département; and the last 3 digits identify the commune (for example, 56470
is the postcode for the town of La Trinité-sur-Mer in département number 56, i.e. Le
Morbihan). For large cities with arrondissements -districts- like Paris, the last 2 digits of the
postcode indicate the arrondissement; for example: 75006 PARIS means “Paris, 6ème
arrondissement“. Post offices are usually open from 8 am to 7pm Monday to Friday and from
8am to 12pm on Saturday. Exact hours may vary from office to office. In Paris, the post office
on Rue du Louvre (2ème arrondissement) is open 7/24.
Page
82
BANKING
Opening a bank account
Students staying in France for more than 3 months are advised to open a bank account.
Students staying for less than 3 months may open an account at a savings bank (Caisse
d‘Epargne) or at the Post Office (La Poste). The savings banks have a large network of
branches and most post offices have a banking service. Savings bank and post office
accounts are managed in exactly the same way as accounts at commercial banks.
To open a bank account, students need to show the 3 following documents:
•Valid passport
•Carte de Séjour
•Proof of address: telephone or electricity bill, rent receipt, “certificat d‘hébergement“
(official document stating that you are staying with a private resident, obtained by your
French host from the local townhall “mairie“), etc.
Approximately 10 days after opening the account, students receive a chequebook and/or a
credit card. Chequebooks are usually free of charge. Credit cards, which are valid for two
years, cost between € 15,24 to 30,50 per year, depending on the bank and the type of card.
While opening an account, students may be offered an overdraft facility. Overdrafts can be
expensive: when your account balance is negative, the bank charges you interest. If you
exceed your authorized overdraft limit, you risk withdrawal of cheque and credit card
facilities („interdiction bancaire“). This means that students have to pay their expenses in
cash, including bills, rent and all purchases. If your chequebook is lost or stolen, contact
your bank branch during working hours to make a stop-payment order („opposition“).
Outside working hours, you will need to call the lost and stolen cheque service at the
Banque de France (08 36 68 32 08) and give them your bank account number to register a
stop-payment order. Opening a bank account is generally free of charge, though some
services (like a stop-payment order if your chequebook or credit card is lost or stolen) carry
fees. Some banks also charge for closing an account.
CREDIT CARDS
With any valid credit card, you can withdraw cash from any automated teller machine (ATM)
at any bank, savings bank or post office (not necessarily the bank where you have your
account). ATMs are open 24 hours a day and take several types of credit card (Visa, Eurocard,
etc.). Most shops accept payment by credit card for purchases above a minimum amount
(usually € 15). There is usually a minimum purchase amount for cheques, too, but this may
be lower, at € 8). Each shop has its own policy on this – there are no fixed rules.

If you have an international credit card, you can use it in most European countries, including
France. You can also use your credit card to make phone calls from selected public
telephone booths: the cost of the call is debited automatically from your bank account. If
your credit card is lost or stolen, call the 24-hour telephone number (given to you when you
receive your card and indicated on all ATMs) to make a stop-payment order. This will
normally prevent anyone from using your card. However, you should confirm the stop
payment order in writing at your bank.
Opening hours
Banks are normally open Monday to Friday from 9am until 4pm (5pm at some branches).
Some banks are open on Saturday mornings or all day Saturday, in which case they are
closed on Monday.
Miscellaneous
Chase Manhattan, First National City and other American Banks are in Paris. Check to see if
your bank has a French branch. Students can exchange money at the Paris airports, train
stations, most of the banks and offices of American Express, Barclays, Thomas Cook; as well
as currency exchange offices all over Paris

LOST AND STOLEN PROPERTY
WHAT TO DO FIRST – MAKE A POLICE REPORT
All thefts and major losses should be reported to the police as soon as possible. Each of
Paris twenty districts (arrondissements) has three or four police stations (commissariats);
train stations also have one. You should go to the one which has jurisdiction over the area
where the theft or loss occurred unless you were robbed in the subway. In that case, you can
go to any police station including the one located near the American Embassy at 31, rue
d‘Anjou 75008 Paris (phone no.: 01 42 65 23 13). The police will give you a “ecépissé de
declaration de perte ou de vol” (receipt for declaration of loss or theft). If you have lost your
passport, identification documents and other papers as well as personal effects, you will
receive separate receipts, one for your papers (pieces d‘identité) and one for your valuables.
The µport must be made in person. The police will not accept a report by telephone or from
someone else on your behalf. Most police stations have English-speaking personnel; if you
have difficulty making yourself understood in English, call the Embassy‘s Office of American
Services (phone no.: 01 43 12 45 18) to obtain a translator to help you. While it is unlikely
that the thieves will be arrested as a result, it is important that you report this to the police.
The police receipt is helpful and sometimes necessary in applying for the replacement of
airlines tickets, EURAIL passes, passports, travelers checks, etc. It is also useful for supporting
insurance claims.
HOW TO REPLACE CERTAIN LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS
Airline Tickets
Report the loss or theft immediately to the Paris office of the airline company. It is left to the
discretion of each airline company whether or not to replace a ticket. In any case,
replacement tickets are issued only after verification of the initial purchase of the tickets has
been obtained by telex from the airline‘s home office. Credit Cards Notify the Paris office of
the issuing firm immediately.

EMERGENCY AND HEALTH CARE
Students are required to carry their own health and accident insurance („couverture
sociale“) or be covered by the French Social Security system. Coverage is required from the
date of their departure from their country of residence until their return.
All EU citizens staying in France must obtain the form E111 before leaving their country.
They are entitled to use the French Social Security system, which refunds up to 70% of
medical expenses (but sometimes less, for instance dental treatment). Nationals of non-EU
countries should take out health insurance before leaving home. Consultations and
prescriptions have to be paid for in full, and are reimbursed, in part, on receipt of a
completed form.
If students undergo treatment while in France, the doctor will give them a prescription and
a feuille de soins (statement of treatment). The doctor‘s consultation fee is about 30 Euros
for a general practitioner („médecin généraliste“) and as of 80 Euros for a specialist. The
medication will carry vignettes (little stickers) which you must stick onto your feuille de
soins. Send this, the prescription and form E111, to the local Caisse Primaire d‘Assurance
Maladie (CPAM, in the phone book under Sécurité Sociale). Refunds can take over a month
to come through.

HOUSING PROCEDURES
The Paris Study Center does not have a student residence.
The only possibility of accommodation is private housing handled at the Paris Campus in
the following way:
•One week prior registration date of the relevant session we will help you find appropriate
housing arrangements by contacting the private landlords or housing agencies.
•The interested student must personally inspect the housing offered and make the
arrangements with the landlord. The Paris campus acts only as an intermediary between
the two interested parties.
You should plan at least a two-week stay before you obtain appropriate housing. The
housing market in Paris is traditionally very tight, especially in the field of student lodging.
Furnished room (shared bath & kitchen) € 600-650 per month
Independent room (difficult to find) as of € 700 per month
Studio (1 room plus bath and kitchen) as of € 800-900 per month
Apartment (2 rooms) as of € 1100 per month
Please, bear in mind that these prices may vary.
You can also try to find a room in a student residence („foyer“).
We recommend that your budget transitional hotel cost of at least € 60 per night.

TRANSPORTATION
METRO-BUS-RER
The usual mean of transportation within Paris is the Metro. Its network covers the whole of
Paris and it usually has very good and reliable service. Students can buy their tickets at every
metro station. However, the best option is to buy the ”Carte orange“ which is a weekly or a
monthly pass that allows you unlimited travel by metro, bus or RER (local trains), within the
selected zone. You can also buy a carnet: 10 metro tickets with a discount price. Weekly
meto passes can also be purchased. The tickets are valid from Monday to the following
Monday. The metro system is divided in 6 Zones, the zone 1 comprises Paris, and the other
5 zones are in the Region of Paris called “Ile de France“ („Banlieue“ – the suburbs of Paris-).
Students under 25 years can apply for the “Carte Imagine R“, which is a discounted ticket for
youths. The price is around € 29 every month and is debited automatically from the
student‘s bank account. These cards are good for one year and applications can usually be
obtained from any metro station. This card can also provide students with discounts in
certain restaurants and museums. Students will usually take the metro within the zone 1
and maybe between the zone 1 and 2, from the place where they live to the campus (see
instructions “how to get to the campus“). When travelling within the zone 1, students can
also take the bus with their “Carte Orange“. The bus system is also very efficient, although
the journey might take longer depending on the traffic conditions. Buses run from 6.30 am
to 12.30am from Monday to Saturday with a more limited service on selected lines on
Sundays and public holidays. After the metro and normal buses stop, the only public
transport is the night bus (Noctambus lines) from Place de Châtelet to different areas in
Paris and suburbs. Furthermore, students can choose to take the RER, which is a train that
goes from Paris to the suburbs and it passes through the 6 Zones in the Paris area. While
travelling in Paris, you can use this train. It is usually faster because it has less stops, and the
price is covered with your ”Carte Orange“. However, if you wish to go to a different zone
than that stated on your “Carte Orange“, you will have to pay an additional fee. You can
easily get to the Paris airports (Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and Orly) by taking the RER.
TRAIN
Several attractions in the suburbs, such as the Versailles Castle or Disneyland Paris, are
served by the RER local train network. However, most locations farther away from Paris are
served by the SNCF (the state railway). The TGV (Train à grande vitesse) is a high-speed train
which has revolutionized journey times and is gradually being extended all over France.
Travellers have to pay a supplement and book in advance though. SCNF national reservation and information service: 08 36 35 35 35 or at www.sncf.fr Students under 26 benefit a
Page
93
25% reduction on all the trains in blue periods (except from TGV‘s). Students planning to
stay for at least one year should buy a year reduction card (Carte 12/15) to benefit a 50%
reduction on all the trains (25% for TGV‘s) in blue periods (specific dates and hours) or a 25%
reduction (for the rest of the time). Important discounts for international journeys are also
made.

CULTURAL LIFE
Paris regards its vibrant cultural life and its many artistic activities as proof of its legendary
quality of life. Paris is truly a city of culture and unrivalled arena for any kind of artistic
expression: 3 opera houses, 141 theatres, 134 museums, 17 music conservatories, 343
cinemas, and many art galleries and concert halls entice visitors with events, performances
and exhibitions. Paris is a city of both the old and the new, and in its cultural activities the
voices of traditionalists and experimentalists find expression – and eager audiences. From
one historic and artistic extreme to the other, and at all the points in between, there is an
exciting variety from which to choose. To know what is going on in Paris in terms of cultural
events, you may find information on http://www.paris.fr/english or buy the weekly
Pariscope, Figaroscope (a supplement of Le Figaro newspaper) or L‘Officiel des Spectacles at
a kiosk or in a book store. There are also some monthly publications, such as Paris Nuit, the
Paris Free Voice and the booklet “Saisons de Paris“ published by the Paris Tourist Office. You
can also get an insight into the cultural life in Paris with the magazines Fusac, Time Out or
Paris voice for English-speaking Parisians. You can find them on campus.
