In och utflyttning

A welcome program is given on the first day of your course. It provides guidance to all new students at our school and includes:

    •    Registration at the school reception. Bring your passport.
    •    Presentation of student ID card. Please also bring two passport-size photos.
    •    School orientation.
    •    Information about the courses and Chamonix.
    •    Placement in groups and scheduling. You normally would have already completed the online level test and should not have to take a level test the first day of the course. During winter additional tests are given by the teachers in order to determine the best group for you.

The welcome program is normally held 08.50 at the school on 285, rue des Allobroges in Chamonix. Map.

The keys to your apartment in Chamonix are given to you by your moving-in host. This person or agency will help you with the moving in and is responsible to assist if there should be any problems with your accommodation during your stay.

When picking up your keys you must pay a security deposit of 350€ if you have booked shared accommodation. If you have booked private accommodation you must pay a security deposit of 430€. The deposit is paid in cash. The deposit will be returned to you upon your moving out if the state of the apartment is the same as it was when you moved in.

Show your passport and pay the deposit to receive the keys to your apartment. To avoid being liable for damages and loss that you or your co-tenants did not cause, it is important that you ask for an inventory list. Use this list to report all damage on furniture and equipment in your apartment. Also report spots and marks on the floor and walls. If there is no inventory list, make one on your own. When the list is complete it should be signed by your landlord. All remarks must usually be made to your moving in host within 24 hours after moving in. Please contact Insted if anything is unclear.

Contact number? Your moving-in host is responsible for the state of the apartment and for problems that may occur during the term of the rental. Find out who you should contact or what telephone number to call in case any problems occur. Is there an emergency number for problems like water, heating or power failure?
What is the address to which your mail should be sent? Sometimes you must pick up your mail at your moving-in host’s office.
