HOUSE REGULATIONS

Preamble

The Foundation of the House of Mexico, the following "The House", is one of the houses
of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, the latter with the mission of dialogue of
cultures and exchange between students, researchers, artists and high level athletes of
all nationalities, in a spirit of tolerance and mutual respect.

The values of peace and cooperation are at the heart of the missions of the CIUP and its
houses. Living together in cultural diversity has been the subject of a Charter developed
by residents that emphasizes open-mindedness, knowledge of others, empathy and
solidarity.

As such, residents have an important role to play during their stay in the Cité
internationale and a responsibility in the implementation of the values and ideals of the
CIUP.

In addition, the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris has voluntarily embarked


on a proactive approach to implementing a policy that respects the principles of
sustainable development through the signing of the Cité durable charter.
This regulation sets out the common rules of life in order to offer residents the best possible
living conditions.

Residents at the Mexican House Foundation must comply :

- to the general regulations of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris


- to the rules of admission and stay at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris
- to the chart governing the living together
- to this particular house regulations
- to the charter for the use of computer resources

All of these documents are available on the CIUP website and, with respect to this
particular regulation, the House. Each resident must be aware of these documents when
confirming their admission.

They are contractual in nature and apply to residents, their spouses, guests and
visiting guests, each for the part that concerns them. As such, any stay in the Cité
internationale universitaire de Paris implies the full acceptance of all these provisions.
