Student Services

The University supports students in their academic and personal development through a broad array of academic services and co-curricular experiences. These include formal academic support services such as student mentoring and advising, academic tutoring, and help with academic writing and library research, as well as personal and professional services such as clinical counseling and career development.

These services are complemented by a broad range of co-curricular activities to enrich learning, foster communication and leadership skills and enhance student employability. These activities are designed to expose students to the breadth of professional opportunities in their chosen area of studies and help them acquire a sense of what it is like to work in the field. These experiences have recently included student participation in EU-funded research projects, field placements with social service charities, and pro bono interpreting opportunities at NGOs.

 

Office of Student Affairs and International Programs

The Office of Student Affairs and International Programs works to foster the academic success and personal growth of the University’s students.

As the point of reference for campus life and activities, the Office seeks to create a vibrant community that extends beyond classroom walls. It organizes events and trips for students, such as welcome parties, international food nights, a winter skiing trip, a spring island trip and athletic opportunities. It also organizes such major university events as student orientation, awards ceremonies, town halls, and commencement.

In addition, the Office provides support, advising and resources for students to create and manage student clubs and athletic teams. In doing so, it works with the University’s Student Council to coordinate all activities so that they are all student-driven.

The Office is also the main point of contact for full-time international students, as well as study abroad students and groups. It helps international students complete the documentation they need after obtaining their student visas. In addition, the Office facilitates study abroad programs from the start of admissions until the students leave our campuses at the end of their studies. It also creates and organizes faculty-led study abroad programs tailored to suit the needs of each institution or group.

Student Affairs Policies

As expressed in the Board of Trustees’ Statement on University Values, Hellenic American University expects that its students will be responsible citizens both in society and within the University. In its own words, the Board of Trustees considers that such responsibility:

[extends] beyond the observance of law, which it takes for granted; such responsibility also includes an active commitment on the part of all members of the university community to safeguarding and promoting the values of tolerance and diversity, academic integrity, the free pursuit of knowledge, academic honesty, and the protection of intellectual property.

The Code of Conduct and Student Ethics and policies listed below elaborate these principles through rules and regulations governing student conduct and academic life. These and other policies ensure that the aims and objectives of Hellenic American University are pursued with the highest standards of academic rigor and ethical behavior.

The Student Council

The Student Council is a group of students chosen by their peers to represent and promote their interests in a structured setting. Drawing on input and ideas from the student body, the five-member Council presents its recommendations to the Director of Student Affairs and International Programs, who then conveys these proposals to the appropriate decision-making bodies.

Together with the Director, the members of the Student Council also help organize events, such as student get-togethers, movie nights and city walks, and leads the charge for supporting athletic teams. In addition, the Council is responsible for coordinating initiatives such as blood drives and events to raise awareness on important cultural and social issues.

Participation in the Student Council is an excellent way for students to develop their leadership skills and learn how to work more effectively in a team. Elections to the Student Council, for which all students are eligible to be candidates, are held each year.

ACES Overview

The Academic Center for the Enrichment of Students (ACES) supports University students in becoming successful learners and lifelong leaders.

ACES is centered around two initiatives that aim to help our students explore their full potential and become confident, engaged citizens in our community and at large.

  • Peer Tutors: Our Peer Tutors are tasked with conducting both individual and group tutoring sessions for all members of the student body. No matter what year of study or degree you are pursuing, there is an experienced and knowledgable Peer Tutor waiting to help. While they are all well-versed in specific fields, the Peer Tutors mainly specialize in the study skills, preparation tips, presentation techniques, and more.
  • Fellowships: The ACES team is experienced in the world of global fellowship opportunities for undergraduates, graduates, and recent alumni from all degree areas. Whether a summer internship or post-graduate opportunity, our team helps students find the best options available and then guides them through the process - start to finish.

ACES also collaborates with other student services at the University, such as the Counseling Center, Writing Center, and Career Development Center to develop the study, academic, and organizational skills that will allow students to meet the demands of a higher education institution.

All sessions (Peer Tutor and Fellowships) are arranged by the ACES Coordinator and are offered virtually. Interested students are encouraged to email the Center at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
