Health Care, Social Aid, and Disability Services

The university offers healthcare services and support to enrolled students, in particular by having new students complete a physical. 

• A nurse is available to provide care, listen to their concerns, or refer them to a doctor. The infirmary is open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. 
• A physician is available to offer medical advice related to sports, diet, contraception, STIs, smoking, etc. 
• A counselor is also available by appointment to help students with their personal problems. 
• The university offers social assistance to students with temporary financial problems. Aid requests are evaluated by the social assistance review board, which meets every two months.  
• There is a social worker from CROUS to help students who are experiencing social, family, or personal issues. She can also help students to complete the form for an exceptional financial aid request or to locate housing.

Université Paris Dauphine - PSL does everything it can to enable students with disabilities to succeed in their studies at Dauphine - PSL and then enter the workforce.  

In order to guarantee equal opportunity, the Disability Services office accommodates students with disabilities and supports them in securing employment. The department also sets up study arrangements for the entirety of a student's program, while helping them integrate into college life and implement their career plans. This support is provided in coordination with academic departments, Preventive Medicine, and other university services.  

The Disability Services department is part of the university's policy of social responsibility; it is also consistent with the French bill enacted on February 11, 2005 to promote equal rights and opportunities.
