WELCOME DESK

Are you a student new to Toulouse? The place to be is the Welcome Desk, located near the Grand Rond on the premises of the Université Fédérale de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées. This multilingual service partners the Prefecture of Haute-Garonne, the Rectorat de l'Académie de Toulouse, the CAF de Haute-Garonne and the CROUS de Toulouse-Midi-Pyrénées. Its action is threefold.

Housing: a new generation of the Guichet d'accueil logement étudiant (formerly located on rue des Lois), the Welcome Desk provides personalized support for all housing-related procedures, such as finding a guarantor or a cash advance to finance your first month's rent.

Practical, cultural and sporting life: the Welcome Desk provides general information on sporting and cultural activities, transport, access to healthcare, grants, casual jobs, training opportunities, solutions for students with disabilities... A guidance counselor-psychologist is on hand to help you define your plans for higher education.

International welcome: the Welcome Desk welcomes international students, who can apply for and collect their residence permits.
