Campus, a how-to guide
Commuting, study halls, help services, campus stores: some helpful pointers to start your year off on the right foot.
In the Student Guide, you can find all sorts of information about daily life on campus: coaching and support classes, aid services, restaurants, apprentices, eco-transport, computer resources, housing, information and counseling about the region. As well as information about academic life: schedules, courses, procedures, rules, deadlines, etc. Under the heading “Student Services,” you can find all the practical information: important contacts, dates, and even some short videos explaining how to register for classes or print an attestation.
A real, and not virtual, office is found at the entry of the BP building. A helping hand is offered from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm.
AGEpoly is the EPFL student association. It represents the university students, protects their general interest, furnishes information and consults its members about decisions taken by the school directors. It is also at the heart of many of the fun things to do throughout the year by organizing events (sport outings, festivals, meetings). It also provides a series of student services that improve and facilitate life on campus.
