• I take full responsibility for my behavior and conduct.• This acceptance of responsibility applies to my conduct and

behavior whether or not I am under the direct supervision of the ESP/UCL, their employees or agents or program officials.

• I will make reasonable and good faith efforts to become informed of all laws, regulations and standards and further agree that I will abide by and comply with those laws, regulations and standards.

• I will comply with all rules, standards and instructions for student behavior and further agree to comply with any supplemental rules or standards adopted by the UCL for the ESP.

Health and Safety

WHAT DO I DO IF…

• Make sure you have invoices at home for your most expensive belongings (suitcase, laptop, phone, and so on) to provide for insurance purposes.

• Make a copy of your passport and keep it with you at all times.

• Leave your passport in a secure place in your room. You can also leave it at the ESP office if you prefer. You should only have your passport with you when going abroad on ESP organized trips or on your personal trips (outside Lille/France).

• It is best to carry a minimum of cash with you (50€ max).

• Carry a small bag or a concealed pouch rather than a backpack, and don’t keep your wallet in your back pocket.

• Keep your valuables with you at all times. Do not leave your personal belongings unattended, or leave your mobile phone or wallet on the table of a café or restaurant.

Contact the ESP team as soon as possible. We can accompany you to the police station to file a report if necessary.

My belongings are lost, missing, or stolen?

You should sleep at a friend’s place and wait for the next morning (or Monday, if on a week-end) to ask the residence staff to open your room. • Make sure you keep your room

key on you at all times; don’t leave it inside when you go out nor give it to anyone else.

I’m locked out of my room?

16

In case of serious injuries: First step: call 112 (the pan-European emergency number for all services, with English-speaking staff available). Second step: contact the ESP emergency phone number.

• Keep your insurance details with you at all times. Keep any invoices to give to your insurance provider.

In case of illness or minor injuries, you should report the problem to the ESP office during office hours for follow-up regarding attendance records. If you want to see a doctor or go to the pharmacy, the ESP staff can go with you; just ask someone on the ESP team.

The University’s health center is open on weekdays until end of June. A list of English-speaking doctors is available at the ESP office and on the website (see the “before you apply” page), along with a procedure to follow.

Therefore, you should keep these things in mind:• Shutting the door does not

mean it is locked. Double-locking is the solution.

• Do not change rooms without letting the ESP team know.

• Double-lock your bedroom door (turn the lock twice) any time you are not in it, even for a short period of time like popping by a friend’s room or going to look for something/bathroom. This makes the door completely secured.

First step: report it to the dorm management.Second step: if no news after 24h, come and tell Estelle so that she can liaise with the dorm. Work with Estelle to get updates.

There is a technical problem in my room?

I’m sick or injured?

Note: Health insurance is mandatory for the duration of the ESP program.

Note that ESP dorms are secured with video recording (in most) and/or by the presence of dorm management 24/7 (in others). However, thefts can occur in unoccupied rooms in big cities.

17

Health and Safety

Once you are out, look for the nearest security/police officer for further instructions. Call the ESP emergency phone for extra support.

There is a fire? In case of fire, the procedure in France is generally the following: • Leave all belongings in the

room.• Find the closest exit of the

building.• Do not take elevators, only

stairs.• Follow the instructions

given by security officers (they usually have a “macaron”on their arm).

• Please note that there is an incident alarm test every first Wednesday of the month around noon. The fire alarm of the city will go. There is no need to evacuate for this test. In an actual emergency, you may be sanctioned if you do not follow proper evacuation procedures.

??? If case of any other major incident, please contact the ESP emergency phone.

If you are not on campus, please make sure to report your location and safety within the next 2 hours or as soon as possible to the ESP office (emergency phone, WhatsApp, WeChat, Facebook, and so on).• Please make sure to provide a workable phone number to

the ESP office on the first days of the program in order that you can be contacted if anything should happen.
