Damage Deposits

SiPN’s program deposit will serve both as proof of your commitment to the program (which reserves you a spot) as well as a residence damage deposit.

SiPN has negotiated a special damage deposit fee for our students of 200 USD, and if no damages are assessed to your room by the residence, then that amount will be returned to you in full by early Fall.

Damage assessments will be detailed and individually assigned to each student by the Residence. Students who are held liable for damages over this security deposit are responsible for restituting FLAD/SiPN in full before receiving their academic transcripts.

Multicultural environment

SiPN’s primary residences are often international, mixing Erasmus students from all over the globe as well as Portuguese university students from outside the capital. This provides for a truly cross-cultural living arrangement that will expand your horizons and circle of friends!

Be aware

1: SiPN-arranged housing is included during mid-semester breaks for those staying for the entire academic year.

2: Rooms at this residence are only guaranteed to those who submit their deposits and payments by the program deadline. Latecomers will be accommodated on a space-available basis or if overflow housing is necessary, SiPN will work to find alternate housing that is similar in quality and conditions.
