• Students Under 18

  • Students walk diagonally across the camera, away from a building and towards a lawn in Paris.
  • We welcome students under 18 years of age to Parsons Paris. If you’re under 18, you and your guardians will need to take special steps to ensure that you can legally study in France. Our Student Life staff can help you with the process and assist you with next steps.

    Any student who is under 18 when they apply for their visa or arrive to study at Parsons Paris is considered a minor. Students who are not European Union (EU) citizens, and who therefore must apply for a visa in order to legally study in France for longer than three months, will most likely receive a visa “mineur scolarisé.” The French consulate that processes the visa application may decide to issue a long-term student visa for students who will reach the age of 18 within a few weeks of their intended arrival in France. The type of visa the French consulate issues is determined by the immigration authorities; Parsons Paris has no influence over that decision.

    Minor students, both EU and non-EU, and their guardians should read the information below to gain an understanding of the way certain French administrative procedures will differ because of their age.
